The acceptance rate for Veterans to Harvard is less than 1%. But for foreign nationals almost 30%. For shame.
Shame on Harvard.
Shame on YOU supporting this
She is calling us out. Get it.
Another democracy telling the US we aren’t acting like one.
Sad.
What a disappointment!!!!
Another question:
How did we get to place where we were trading with countries imposing unfair tariffs on the USA?
Who benefited to allow this?
We go to medical school and are required to do CME. No one teaches this or requires it. The blaming the doctor for everything has to stop.
Physicians can’t be responsible if we aren’t educated in it.
Jeez they make me take narcotic education every two year
This doc is fine

Who knows who contributes to the Competitive Enterprise Institute who defend PBM as 'free Market'?
As you can see on their tax forms, they have contributors who give $2.8 million, $1.6 million, and 9 other contributors in the six figures (there are 2 pages of unidentified contributors) cei.org/wp-content/uploads/2… 4/5 🧵

I know about PCMA, the lobby group for PBM, but I did not know about The Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI), who are also defending PBM as 'free market' so I did some looking. They are a non profit who has lobbied with $2million over the last several years and collects $10 million in revenue each year, from what I could find 100% is from contributors.
Who contributes? 3/5🧵.....

It's tough for me to see PCMA, CEI and Sen Toomey calling PBM 'market based', when they help themselves to medicaid money, through something called the 'spread', collect kickbacks (also non transparent) which creates a monospony ... a series of monopoies among pharmaceutical products, and cause the shutdown of independent pharmacies.
Last time I checked in the Bible of free market capitalism, monopolies, kickbacks and anticompetitive behavior were not Included 2/5 🧵

Let’s just throw out the Constitution. Jeez
Is this the admin game plan. Circumvent the checks and balances
For shame
Not the issue. USA treats MDs like 💩
Docs won’t stay not matter how many graduate.
No respect
High burnout rate
High suicide rate
Don’t get sick.
How about the wealthy South Americans and Europeans who get the same tax breaks as Americans when buying priorities raising the cost for all of us? The wealthy “undocumented” that no one discusses. Why? &$$$. But hurts the middle class
