You may not understand why, but the healthcare insurance and PBM contracts YOU have signed for Tesla, SpaceX , @X, along with CEOs of other big companies , have more impact on healthcare costs and quality of care in this country, than anything you can do with DOGE
Comments
Let’s start with the pharmacy side. I haven’t seen your contracts, but I already know that if you have a contract with a big PBM you:
1. Don’t control your claims data
2. Don’t control your formulary
3. Have to pay more for “Specialty Drugs” that have nothing special about them
6. Can’t talk to manufacturers to put together wellness programs for things like GLP1s
I don’t know cars or rockets, but I know how to land healthcare in a net that saves millions of people an un quantifiable amount of money. Without legislation.
And FYI , google the ERISA lawsuits against JJ and Wells Fargo. They will be ubiquitous class action lawsuits coming for all CEOs next.
But neither does Elon and that hasn't stopped him, so please continue... 🤷♂️
We need more leaders who stand up to any problem advocating for any solution.
Over time we can do anything.
Anthem considering not covering medical procedures like anesthesia is not health
care.
Everything we do makes a difference, imagine if we worked together
$500/mon Viibryd
$1000/mon Omalizumab
I've worked for tech companies here who don't cover them
Also don't cover
$60/mon Prozac
$25/mon Rosuvastatin
Why they gotta be so fussy?
I think DOGE will get more in the end l, than what they asked for .
Thanks for the insightful take on healthcare.
1) A centralized healthcare payer system that does not have that insurance middleman profiteering
2) Vetting and PROVING the VALUE of new technologies before embracing and paying for them
3) Eliminating DEFENSIVE MEDICINE spending because of EXCESS LITIGATION
Under the 80/20 rule, the ACA requires health insurance companies to spend at least 80% of premium revenue on medical care & quality improvements. The other 20% can be spent on admin, overhead & marketing"
You’re walking the walk.
And the US GDP has grown since.
Which makes the rest even worse for the US.
But thanks for pointing that out.
Fuck the fuck off bruh (I’m a 53 year old female and I have two grown kids with no grandkids thank goodness). I’m down for whatever although I think we already did this…
If they were honest brokers, they and all their buddies would stop lobbying to weaken and water down legislation.

So many disgusting blue MAGA types in here who are praising a diff billionaire
They don't realize we must have zero billionaires
These people are authoritarian followers almost as much as MAGA
They're the idiot "moderates" MLKjr learned to lament, too
Same people
I can still see John McCain's dramatic (Mr Smith goes to Washington) thumbs down vote.
God, he's so uneducated and thoughtless.
There are way too many RW outlets and the Left can't lose the few we still have.
#MarcCuban
Wake up!
Cuban is against #M4A
Stop lionizing the rich
Tax them!!
#BillionairesShouldNotExist
Right now, Cuban is doing good. Let him.
If he stops, eat him. This is the way.
The criticism he levies is legit, but not because HE said it
And the reason HE's making it is cuz he wants his own new pharma delivery company to be profitable at lower consumer costs
But HE opposes M4A
He wants to profit on an alternative
Wake up
Who else has said “it” & then attempted to modify “it” by actually lowering💰retail💰costs💰for all in addition to POTUS44 & POTUS46⁉️
These idiot "moderate centrist" liberals are ao aggravating
- just a different flavor of being an authoritarian follower, but they prefer diff billionaires
No wonder MLKjr came to lament "moderates"
Who claimed a panacea??
How about you stick to how much better M4A is and could be improved upon of we fought for it
Do that.
1. Incentive misalignment.
2. Insurance/Medicare dictating treatment instead of doctors.
3. Lack of high level focus on health.
Any solution should include #3 to lower the overall costs. An enormous chunk of our costs are obesity related.
What's your point?
The biggest hurdle to starting a company from scratch is health insurance. Obamacare has helped a ton but it’s still a massive problem.
Employer provided health insurance sure does keep the poors from thinking about staking their own claims.

Because we don't hear this. We hear all this blah blah blahs and back n forth bickering.
So let's hear it. Don't need 2 programs, do 1 right.

This was widely reported out.
Even the libertarian conservative CATO Institute performed this same analysis w same conclusion
But liberals & conservatives only touted the high cost of #M4A
They kept silent on the higher cost of our current system.

This country deserves better - he got that right.
Better leaders who actually are leaders not rich asshole narcissist who just trying to buy influence.

That’s the thread.
As if no one waits for doctors in the US.
The earliest date he can see a neurologist within 50 miles of his home is in May. He can get in earlier if someone cancels or if he has more seizures
Bc they can’t abstract reason bc their vmPFC doesn’t work

It’s the combo of no vmPFC, no amygdala and an over active nucleus accumbens that explains everything
Be it Ted Bundy, MTG, Trump, musk, hitler, Koresh, Rick Scot, etc, you have a deep understanding

All of his efforts to have humans live on Mars are paid by our tax dollars. It is NOT HIS MONEY!
Doggie doo-doo
The whole industry needs to be revamped, to cut price gouging, excess billing, and to allow the uninsured to pay the same, reasonable and customary charges insurance companies pay doctors and hospitals.
It isn't.
You guys should have made a stink over it years ago and ended it telling your politicians you were voting for this one single thing to stop. Now because Canadian Conservative politicians ( right-wing ) see all that money your government and donors are raking in off it they want it.
I lived it
1 you're hired, HC for you & fam free
2 then, you're free, but gotta pay for the fam
3 fam premium inches up every year
4 then you have to kick in for yourself
5 deductibles go up, premiums go up, coverage goes down
6 they put you managed care, gutting choice
7 denial of services

You’re being generous, Mark.
I’d easily pay $15k a year in taxes… as that would be half of what I currently pay out of pocket
Her retirement alone in Italy will allow us to live well!!
We either increase regulations private insurance and neuter them
Or
We have a public model that works with the private sector.
And they're consolidating.
It would be nice if most CEOs cared as much about their employees as they did their stock buybacks

On this side of the pond, we don't understand your slang.
I got the gist of what you were saying, but I've never heard the term "f*cking melt" before.
Git, wanker, tosser, prat, yes.
I'm assuming "melt" might be synonymous with those?

All Musk had to do was stay in his lane.

Ergo profits over people and service.
Others not so Peps 1st
That is unless the little orange man decides to end voting there as he promised.
The solution is prosecuting and punishing white collar crimes more harshly.
But I'm sure Donald and Elon would not be fans of that.
And people are shocked that there is no sympathy for a slain health care CEO.😑
No, we need there to be zero billionaires!
Tax the shit out of them
Stop worshipping wealth
They are not kings
They are not geniuses
They have power by wealth
They have wealth by exploitation
Stop living with blinders on
Start criticizing plutocrats & oligarchs!!
All US Healthcare Insurance will be rolled into TeslaCare.
It wasn't an empty insult
I implying something's wrong with you (ie the insult), backed by the substantive criticism of your post
You ignored the substance (the reason for the insult) because... your feelings?
Helping others see why your take is bad is worthwhile.
https://youtu.be/jCVmY1iOJQs?si=Da0L2Wi80J7OzHPi it seems USA is too far into the private. But enough public, whilst the health insurance industry and pharma companies also play a big role in excessive costs.
You'll notice the cheaper (cost wise) are countries that are single payer systems.
And you should also know the medical outcomes are better.
And the average life span is longer.
Our system has been broken since the 1970's
