Founder & CEO, Ophelia. Trying to end the opioid mess.

Honest question for the void. Lots of debate about whether shot #1 was self-defense, but it seems straightforward that the final shots were not (through side window from a distance). So why is shot #1 worth debating? If nothing else, innocent at t=0, guilty at t=1, right?

Unless actual healthcare costs decline, then Medicaid cuts will just get financed via higher healthcare prices (hospital bills and premiums) instead of taxes…by the same people. And if you deny preventive care and add administrative costs, total spending probably goes up.

If perceived success is what matters to the president, and he’s allowed to claim success regardless of outcome, then he won’t fear any particular outcome very much, and a shrewd negotiator will use that against him.

If a normal citizen is found in court to have acted illegally, they are sentenced to some kind of punishment. But if it’s the president, they are evidently just told to stop? I’m confused.

AI has made my life more efficient because more healthcare articles can be dismissed as irrelevant without having to read past the headlines.

Good job, White House. Now, what about the 200 people dying each day from opioid overdoses, whose treatment will be disrupted at the end of the PHE? Understand the stakes are not the same, but we’ve also been waiting 15 years. @DEAHQ @HHSGov @ONDCP @samhsagov

If you’re checking Twitter today to see if some government agency will come to its senses and help those who depend on it to be rational…you have lived one day in the life of a healthcare founder.

Why does the DEA, an agency of lawyers, have more power than medical professionals to drive healthcare decisions? (1) @HHSGov: protect patients under the opioid PHE until common sense prevails (2) @CMSGov: reimburse added costs to avoid bankrupting the OUD treatment industry

Without medication, opioid relapse is 90% in 3 months. What we have is a crisis of under-prescribing of buprenorphine. @ZarkGray @meetophelia #ATAEDGE @AmericanTelemed #telemedicine #telemednow
