These doctors need to consider what’s about to happen to *them*. Get out while you still can. Nova Scotia will welcome you. Things ate going to be very very bad for doctors under the regime.

Nobody understands how they get their healthcare or how much it costs. Providers do not provide pricing. Insurers will not guarantee anything is covered, even if their reps say it is. Deductibles and out of pocket (at unknown prices), co-pay, out-of-network … Luigi

We relied on our government to support us in times of tragedy or terror by providing food, shelter, cash. Not anymore. Don the Con has taken our taxpayer dollars and given the money to his friends - the ultra rich. He's not a president. He's a thief in nutmeg colored makeup.

Is there a good summary intended for older, more conservative doctors who aren’t on social at all?

I live with the unpleasant knowledge that my generation of physicians facilitated this. Some of us spoke out, but we're "shushed" by leaders in our professional associations who wanted to go along for the sake of adequate reimbursement for care.

I really wish folx had listened to those of us in repro. Not only did we predict this but continue to have some solutions to all of this. All the grants for rapid response, talk directly with the public & folx we serve. Maybe NOW folx will listen?

Maybe….

As I’ve always said that’s gotten me flamed on social media. We won’t see change until the right person dies. Which is trash but true. #Whiteness

So many unaware when their State Medicaid calls it something different. How many don't even realize it's Medicaid because its not called that? Example: Missouri's Medicaid program is called MO HealthNet.

Yeah, states trying to act like they have marketing genius’s in government. So dumb.
