Is it seasonal #allergies, or is it #COVID19? While symptoms of both can overlap, there are some crucial differences between COVID-19 and allergies 🤧. If you have symptoms of COVID-19, learn from @CDCgov on how to get tested and more: go.usa.gov/xHvVg.

I call these the "functionally uninsured". Math doesn't work: 60% of workforce earns $20/hr or less; >50% of households have <$1k savings; >50% of workforce has >$1k deductible. They're a bad stubbed toe away from financial ruin. nitter.gq/Atul_Gawande/status/10…
Skin-in-the-game isn't working. Average deductibles for employer health plans tripled, and most patients can't afford to do anything except forgo care and treatment. @business bloom.bg/2IwcLN0

With 60% of workforce making < $20/hr & >50% of households having less than $1k savings, 10’s of millions are functionally uninsured with near-guaranteed bankruptcy for any significant med expense. Hello, severe anxiety, populism & exploding Benzos crisis. Thanks healthcare. nitter.gq/cynthiaccox/status/100…
Just updated analysis of out-of-pocket costs for people with employer coverage:
-Deductible payments rising rapidly (176%, 2006-2016)
-Insurance coverage somewhat less generous than 10 years ago
-Health spending has outpaced wage growth

Narrative of insurance cos as bad negotiators misses the point that insurance exec (privately) told me that they're legally required to facilitate price gouging due to shareholder fiduciary duty. MLR cemented that pre-existing condition. nitter.gq/sarahkliff/status/1000…

This would be a great story for @onthemedia — why does media ignore this? If media paid attention, it would certainly get med institution attention. Dr. Wible starting counting fairly recently and body count is >900. nitter.gq/pamelawiblemd/status/9…
Another 2 docs die by suicide in NYC. Body bags keep piling up. Still no investigation by med institutions or media. Appalling. @DoNoHarmFilm @medjournalist @BartAndrews @IMedicalCulture @DrEricLevi @picardonhealth

Is there any big merger in the history of U.S. healthcare that has led to cost drops? Serious question. I have empathy for pub-traded hc cos as they have a legal (shareholder fiduciary) duty to ensure costs rise. Know many fine people in those orgs. It’s not about them. nitter.gq/cascadia/status/937491…
