A handful of insurance giants dominate #healthcare, controlling everything from coverage, doctors & medication access. In @townhallcom, @jwhite_health argues breaking up those monopolies & restoring competition is critical to lowering costs & protecting patients. townhall.com/columnists/joel…

Michigan is suing BCBS over alleged anticompetitive practices that drive up costs. Patients deserve competition, not monopolies.

Importing a foreign system that limits access to cancer drugs risks creating similar challenges in the U.S. Whatever the label, GLOBE expands price controls, potentially restricting access without addressing affordability.

“For too long, insurers have avoided the spirit of the law, which is to provide Americans with accurate information on lower costs. That ends today." - @jwhite_health

Cleveland Clinic generated hundreds of millions of dollars through 340B while not passing those discounts directly to patients. That’s not what the program was meant to do.
Congress needs to make sure 340B benefits patients, not hospital balance sheets.

Every American should have an HSA. Federal laws prevent this. Time to pass @RepAaronBea HSAs for All Act.

Americans deserve lower drug costs. @CMSGov's GLOBE Model takes the wrong approach — expanding govt price controls while failing to address the underlying drivers of high drug costs & potentially limiting patient access to cancer treatments.

Congress and the administration should build on #Medicare's progress by reforming Part D and stabilizing the broader #healthcare market.

Americans could spend 40% of their income on health premiums.

Listen here: share.transistor.fm/s/f5060f…
.@CMSGov's announcement of lower 2027 #Medicare premiums is welcome news. Now Washington must create lasting reforms that lower #healthcare costs, strengthen competition & give Americans more choices.

An important new poll in support of the Safe Step Act.
Nine in ten (90%) voters trust their doctor more than their insurance company to prescribe medicine.
I want to meet the 10% who trust insurers more. @C4AHC

Charity care in Iowa hospitals accounted for just 0.9% of total operating costs at Iowa’s 340B hospitals from 2014 to 2022 while these hospitals saw assets increase by 17% and charity care decreased by 17%. The math ain't mathing.

Health insurers have turned getting sick into a business opportunity. Deny care. Delay treatment. Squeeze patients & providers. Pocket the profits. @LastWeekTonight exposes what happens when corporate greed is put between patients & their care. youtube.com/watch?v=h1pXm0Gj… youtu.be/h1pXm0GjLho?si=yTBw…
Are nonprofit hospitals profiting from the poor? @jwhite_health joined the @RealClearHealth Podcast to discuss how the 340B program is being exploited.

Nearly $180M in Medicare Advantage overpayments tied to unsupported diagnoses, according to new HHS OIG audits. Taxpayer dollars should pay for care patients need — not coding that drives up costs. Strong oversight matters. healthcaredive.com/news/hhs-…

I was glad to partner with my friend Hannah Anderson @A1Policy on the Inflation Reduction Act’s broken promise that is still costing patients. Let's not make it worse...@C4AHC
