www.medicaleconomics.com/view/mark-cu... Thank you again @mcuban.bsky.social !

Most people tune out when doctors rage about prior auth, opaque pricing, or middlemen sucking value out of the system. Except @mcuban.bsky.social. Where we all see complexity, he sees opportunity. And he trusts doctors. Full episode: www.offcall.com/learn/podcas...

"The relationship between doctors and insurance companies has become an abusive one." — Dr. Elisabeth Potter who went viral after posting about United Healthcare's prior auth practices online Our full conversation here: www.offcall.com/learn/podcas...

This feels like a Parkland shooting moment. If Americans don't care about dead kids we aren't gonna get gun control. If they don't care about their OWN DEAD KIDS then I'm not sure how you fight back against that

We've massively lost the ability to perform critical thinking We've massively lost the ability to spot incorrect and misinformation And we have so much information at our fingertips yet lack the ability to know if said information actually answers the question we have

MAHA Measles Anti-vax Hypocrisy Afterthought

The pro-death party

I love it when @joho.bsky.social calls out @ucsfhealth.bsky.social docs lamenting Trump's attacks on NIH and CDC, like @anilmakam.bsky.social , @ewidera.bsky.social, and Monica Gandhi, after having amplified the misinformation that got us here. sciencebasedmedicine.org/ucsfapathy/

Anyone in Alabama State Gov or with a large employer in the state ? You are getting RIPPED off by PBMs. www.linkedin.com/posts/gregre...

Timeline cleanse with nicest day we’ve had all year in San Francisco

If only we had medical experts who could have predicted this and warned that this would happen /s

Be kinder to yourself. I am nicer and more empathetic to the fictional doctors on The Pitt than I am to my real-life self practicing real-life emergency medicine. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/19/a...

BREAKING: Almost everything

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

This piece was initially similar to @choo.bsky.social's fantastic BMJ opinion piece, but the more I wrote the more I really felt like all of this is about loss of trust in institutions, experts, and healthcare professionals. www.offcall.com/learn/opinio... www.bmj.com/content/388/...

Medicare Disadvantage

Someone start a Gofundme where we pitch in to hire Mayor @petebuttigieg.bsky.social to just do a daily fact checking in DC. And if we're lucky maybe @mcuban.bsky.social will support it too

if you're in nashville or at vive see you next week!
