I can only assume that it’s our unwavering commitment to wellness and ability to improvise that landed us here.

this is awesome, but doesn't answer one question: What's the evidence for giving albumin in hypoalbuminemic critically ill adult or pediatric (non-neonate) patients NOT due to liver failure? i've certainly seen it practiced where 25% is written to be given IV PRN albumin<x...

“The fact that none of the physicians in Congress support #MedicareForAll indicates just how out of step those legislators are with their constituents and with [the majority of] physicians.” - Phil Verhoef

We have literally wasted at least half a trillion dollars on Medicare (dis)advantage over payments over the last 20 years, and the number is rising. When will CMSGov say enough is enough and scrap the program? #singlepayernow

Hey Students for a National Health Program Physicians for a National Health Program students: in this match week, as we think about how to fight healthcare profiteering, you should take time to watch this video and understand how private equity can compromise your medical education. Beware the residency programs in for-profit systems.

When will policymakers and CMSGov realize that the only solution is to tear the Medicare Advantage system down entirely? It has NEVER delivered on ANY of its promises, and it is LITERALLY HURTING PATIENTS AND PHYSICIANS. #singlepayernow Physicians for a National Health Program

Medicare Advantage has been a broken system since the beginning, especially for patients. trib.al/9z2rfW3

After 25 years of playing in bands and singing with choirs and orchestras, I finally got noticed by Rolling Stone.

Republicans want to completely privatize Medicare.

Deep in Project 2025, which conservatives hope to implement if Trump wins, is a call to “make Medicare Advantage the default enrollment option.”

Medicare Advantage means privatized Medicare.

“Humana stock tumbled more than 12% today after the U.S. health insurer reported an increase in older patients seeking care, which would hurt its fourth quarter results.”

The more these corporate insurers pay out in claims, the less they keep for themselves. Explains a lot.

NEW: The latest from HEALTH CARE un-covered charts the great lengths for-profit health insurers will go (with the help of direct mail, emails, television ads and phone calls) to persuade seniors to enroll in private Medicare plans.

so okay, this is interesting. but really, why would anyone EVER prescribe clarithromycin? dosing is 7-14 days, twice daily. azithro is WAY easier for patients: can get away with a single dose of 1500 or a z-pak... but i do wonder if the same effect happens with azithro..

if this isn't an argument for #singlepayer #medicare4all ... this could all be so so much more simple. Physicians for a National Health Program

man. science. i think to myself 'I can still produce all the original experiments and data and lab notebooks that informed every single figure I've published.' at least I know I can sleep soundly, knowing I've never knowingly (and hopefully unknowingly) committed fraud.

hey Governor Brian P. Kemp, maybe you haven’t heard, but infants born in GA are dying at an increasing rate!
what can you do about it? physicians here at #pnhp2023 demand that you expand Medicaid now for all adults below the federal poverty line!

Only in the US. 'price transparency' is a myth, and screaming louder calling for more price transparency isn't going to help. Why do we continue to support a system where this kind of insane pricing is even an option? #singlepayernow Physicians for a National Health Program

Megan's dad should have been able to go to a long-term care rehab facility after surgery, just as his neurosurgeon recommended.

His Medicare (Dis)Advantage, with no regard for his well-being, denied him the care he needed.

Beyond what's in this thread, House R's ALSO want to eliminate: ALL funding for gun injury research, ALL funding for tobacco prevention/control, and ALL funding for the climate and health program. WTAF Republicans? You've basically said you DGAS about anyone except your donors.
