Read it here first! @AmerMedicalAssn sells JAMA to #privateequity, @realDonaldTrump #healthcarereform plan covers $100/day of med expenses & post-Musk HHS agency combo known as ABCDEFFF. All wrong - but amusing. #healthpolicy @jrovner @petridishes @politico
It's time for some relevant 2025 predictions. Here's @MLMillenson's Totally Wrong Expert Predictions

Original source material is clear: Abuses by doctors and hospitals led to insurers' clout over coverage. Which doesn’t excuse absues by #healthinsurers or providers. Or violence. chicagotribune.com/2024/12/22/opi… @wendellpotter @lowninstitute @KFFHealthNews @ryansolsten

Politics drives #healthpolicy, so pay attn to issues invisible at #DNC & #RNC, like #Medicaid, #hospitalprices, #claimsdenials, #medicalerror. Also invisible, big donor influence. I look at @UnitedHealthGrp @OpenSecretsDC @wendellpotter via @Forbes forbes.com/sites/michaelm…

d @BretStephen_NYT Libs, moderates don’t see how mainstream conservative media enable Trump. @WSJ editorial 7-22-24 criticizes convention speech tone, ignores untrue election claims. Ditto “Reich” usage. Or’ threats of “civil war.” Post-Jan 6, chilling.

#Patientempowerment revolution needed doctors like Spock, Katz, Ellwood, Wennberg & others. The fight continues @S4PM @BeLikeLight @BMJPatientEd @pfps_us @garyschwitzer @donberwick
Fabulous article from @MLMillenson in which he lays out the history of physicians who have helped patients declare their "independence". The patient movement has depended on some giants helping make medicine participatory.
