Rooting for this, nicely done @CMSGov

Some great healthcare news going into the weekend:

@CMSGov is proposing new site-neutral payments, cutting imaging payments at off-campus hospitals to match physician-office rates!

They expect $70M⬇️in beneficiary premiums, $190M⬇️in part B savings - $260M total in 1st year.

This is a good idea, being able to run a hospital at Medicare rates should be a major goal for the industry. Annual double-digit percentage increases in employer health costs are unsustainable and they are driven by hospitals

I have an idea for you. Get a bunch of Dem donors to buy or lease or take over a small hospital. Plenty are close to going out of business.

Have it charge ONLY MEDICARE RATES. For everything. Be completely transparent with every penny you spend so everyone can see what it truly costs to run a small hospital.

See if you can make it work. See what services you can offer. Do not ask for any government subsidies. It has to operate at least to break even.

There are some hospitals that already do this. It wouldn’t be unique. If it works out, you can buy another one. Then another one. Till you have a network.

I’ll help where I can. And for those asking the inevitable, I have tried. As I posted earlier, they all ghosted me after learning how transparent I wanted to be.

Incredible chart. My MIL got a lung transplant for ILD in 2023, and now I can thank Trikafta! This is a great example of "care abundance" -- the red line is some proxy for physically bounded care delivery, which we can allocate to more patients by substituting some demand.

Despite all the talk about AI making radiologists obsolete, the most striking example of a medical specialty being disrupted in the last decade may be adult CF care, and it wasn’t AI. It was Trikafta.
