Medicare For All will do the opposite

Government and special interests will have all the leverage as they always have. Physicians and patients will be under the thumb of both in a single payer system

Only way out of our mess is to get physicians who know how to deliver high quality, efficient (low administrative burden), low cost care back into positions to build and administer hc delivery systems i.e private practice, physician owned hospitals and ASCs. Increase competition, bring down cost, increase access = making the best use of our hc dollars

Government controlled healthcare is not it

Medicare does have flaws that we shouldn't replicate. But doctors will be positioned to advocate for their (& their patients) interests under M4A than under the status quo, which is leading to swelling administrative load, less autonomy, & subordination to corporate interests.

Preview of Medicare for All.
Government will dictate prices and then try to control supply by wielding control over hospital systems that employee 80% of physicians.
It will never work.
Price controls create shortages.
Medicare for All will absolutely make healthcare less accessible.

It's annual paycut season for doctors, brought to us by @CMSGov…

And, drumroll…it's a cut. Again.

-2.31% for most of the house of medicine in 2027 on the RVU conversion factor (to $32.63/RVU).

Adjusted for inflation, that's:
A one-year 4.7% decrease,
A 10-year cut of 32.6%,
A 20-year cut of 46%.

Yikes.

Thanks, @RobertKennedyJr.

Insurers are running a coordinated campaign to destroy the No Surprises Act — the law that stopped Americans from getting $100,000 surprise medical bills.

They’re losing in court. So they’re going after the law itself.

Here’s what’s actually happening 🧵

The only fix for this is to bring back private practice

What nobody is talking about in a healthcare fix: how to address a generation of physicians so jaded by healthcare consolidation and loss of autonomy that they are all looking to get out?

Reverse the provisions of ACA that have made it impossible for doctors to control their own destiny and prioritize the patient/physician relationship

Bring back private practice
Bring back physician owned hospitals
Stop the early retirement of physicians

The mean age of physicians who leave clinical practice in the US is now 48.1 years, 9 years younger than observed in a similar cohort in 2008.

The biggest causes cited were stress and the hassles of practice.

11% of women decided not to even enter practice.

What are your thoughts about this?
