I am a #PrimaryCare doctor. I do administer #vaccines in my practice. But y'all can stop saying that I am pro-vaccine because of the financial incentive because you would make more profit at a child's lemonade stand 🍋🥤 than what we net when we give a vaccine. I give vaccines because they save lives.

I have such mixed feelings about this. 1. Increasing the length of residency has to be a non-starter. Comparing my 1st year as an attending with how much I'd make if I were still a resident, that's >$160k of opportunity cost for just one additional year. That's an incredible price. 🧵

I grew up on #Medicaid. I take Medicaid in my #PrimaryCare practice even though it pays much less than Medicare and other insurance. My patients and our country need Medicaid to be stronger for the future, not weaker. @aafp.org #medsky #fmsky www.aafp.org/news/blogs/a...

doi.org/10.1370/afm.... This new study finds that U.S. adults overestimate #PrimaryCare spending by 10x, estimating it at 51.8% of health costs, while actual spending is 4.7%. Yet, they recognize its value: their estimate of primary care’s role (50.3%) matches actual utilization. #Medsky #FMsky
