Sounds like Mark Cuban needs to open some hospitals operating with minimal administrative overhead

paddler44.bsky.social•64 days ago

I hope he continues to disrupt American healthcare. We need more transparency and bright spot light around hospital administrative costs. Using AI to analyze claims data to identify outliers makes sense.

commienurse.bsky.social•57 days ago

I'm assuming you're a doctor in the same way dr dre is a doctor.

only to idiots and bad people

get a job you fool

gaywad.lol•58 days ago

I cant trust AI to tell me how to make a pizza, why would I entrust it with life or death decisions about my medical care

How do you tie your shoes and wipe your ass

abunchofcats.bsky.social•58 days ago

you are the problem with American healthcare

peezkyweezky.bsky.social•58 days ago

Except it doesn’t work and people suffer

I love this quote: "how much f*cking money do I need? I'm not trying to land on Mars. At this point in my life, it’s just like more money, or fuck up the healthcare industry" - Mark Cuban

symbo1ics.bsky.social•58 days ago

wow, we might let him go

raconz.bsky.social•65 days ago

Great conversation!

It apparently relies on another pharmacy to do the actual work. I need the drug every day, not just when CostPlus happens to have it. No more CostPlus for me.

petep77.bsky.social•64 days ago

Sounded good. I signed up. It was good for a few months, but then I needed a refill. CostPlus said it wasn’t available.

petep77.bsky.social•64 days ago

I use a common medication to control a chronic condition. CostPlus sold it for less than a local compounding pharmacy.

fine - we eat him last

dougwolfgram.bsky.social•65 days ago

I wish he’d disrupt by investing in us. Our FDA cleared ring is being used in universities and hospitals with an accuracy that exceeds Oura. Doctors won’t touch Oura.

donnamenner.bsky.social•56 days ago

The American people owe Mark Cuban a great deal of appreciation. He is spending a lot of his time trying to disrupt the pharmaceutical industry, he has a good understanding of the problems and is being successful.

Cuban is great but oversimplifies the self-funded risk bearing employer benefits scenarios a bit. And no one wants the gov owning all claims data. Ref: HTI-3 final rules.

grandfield.bsky.social•56 days ago

His prices are a godsend.

alexanderesslinger.bsky.social•63 days ago

In this 38 minutes interview with @mcuban.bsky.social I learned more about business in complex markets than anywhere else.

alvelda.bsky.social•65 days ago

Love what you’re doing here, @mcuban.bsky.social Would love to help.

katlu92.bsky.social•65 days ago

Just finished listening to it. You have the BEST interviews! This one was amazing. Gives me fresh hope for our medical system.

katlu92.bsky.social•65 days ago

Another riveting interview, I guess a few months ago, was with a Stamford doctor whose name is lost to me, about various animal studies on exercise and overall health. A long interview, and I think I listened to it twice. Genius -- and (to me, anyway) earth-shaking.

jimander.bsky.social•65 days ago

Was that the interview with Euan Ashley? I agree, that was another great interview and it prompted me to get off my butt and start exercising (more).

katlu92.bsky.social•65 days ago

Yes that’s the one! Thanks

katlu92.bsky.social•65 days ago

And : it was a great motivator!

erictopol.bsky.social•65 days ago

Yes! Great.

erictopol.bsky.social•65 days ago

@euanashley.bsky.social Thanks!

katlu92.bsky.social•65 days ago

Thanks - now following him too!

erictopol.bsky.social•65 days ago

Many thanks!

utexleigh3.bsky.social•65 days ago

He’s great! I really appreciate the work he’s doing for us regular people.

erictopol.bsky.social•65 days ago

Among related topics, we talked about the inner workings of the big 3 Pharmacy Benefit Managers which control 80% of prescriptions in the United States

momofakidwithpots.bsky.social•65 days ago

So encouraging to hear talk about improving the US healthcare system. Hopefully doctors & patients are included in the answer to the question: how to improve the prior authorization system.

donnamenner.bsky.social•65 days ago

Middlemen, too much control.

joanmcrobbie.bsky.social•63 days ago

I came away from this with a question: how do we clone Mark Cuban?

friskydingus.bsky.social•58 days ago

More billionaires is the opposite of a solution.

blueallylove.bsky.social•65 days ago

Oh here's the bastards deciding if chronically ill people have the right insurance to get their meds mailed to them from their pharmacy.

katlu92.bsky.social•65 days ago

His ideas for single payer (etc.) as well. Mind blowing optimism for change.

erictopol.bsky.social•64 days ago

As reviewed in our conversation

steverrobbins.bsky.social•64 days ago

If we saw a member of a community of other primates hoarding resources that others in the group needed far past the point where they as an individual could use them, we would study that primate to identify the abnormality. In humans, we elect them as our leaders.

Thanks for the YT, as am not familiar with the other app!

morkielove.bsky.social•64 days ago

We need a health care system reform, it’s bad, it’s expensive, it’s not good for the doctors, it’s not good for the patients… who is it good for? Pharmacies? Insurances? I traveled to South America and I was treated in a private clinic for way less! And the service provided was great!
