So it begins. We can’t afford to pay for citizen testing for the uninsured & @RepMcKinley @BillPascrell @HouseGOP @HouseDemocrats WON’T ENFORCE THE #CARESACT #FFCRA so Insurers will continue to stiff bills & premium paying patients will be used as human shields for COVID19 bills. ImageImageImageImage
What country do we live in where those who can afford to pay stick the bill to those who can afford least to pay? So what happens to the test to treat debacle? It appears the uninsured are left to fend for themselves. And $CI wants to doctors to sue the patients! #caresAct #FFCRA ImageImageImageImage
The wastewater is climbing, the government has left governed to fend for themselves? @EdGainesIII @drdanchoi @misterchambo @RepMcKinley @BillPascrell @FrankPallone @michaelcburgess It appears $CI $UNH $ANTM is in charge. They are violating law, so who will pay for the patients? ImageImageImageImage

Wearing a mask is not harming our kids newrepublic.com/article/165306…
Let’s focus on the fact that over 167,000 children have lost a parent/caregiver to #COVID19. Not to mention all the children who have lost someone they loved deeply.(Grandparent, aunt, uncle, sibling,cousin…) @JanethNunezdelP @Jerri3dz @MarkedByCovid @covid_loss @missinmycomfort ImageImageImage

🧵 1/19 Oh, so you've been "touched by #Covid19?"

Did you say goodbye to a loved one via a computer screen? Did you drop them off at an ER only to see them next, in person, in a coffin?

2/ Did your loved one catch Covid and die just weeks before they were able to get a vaccine because the US has failed to deliver on #VaccineEquity? @JanethNunezdelP @MarkedByCovid

3/ Was your mother, a #HealthCareHero, forced to reuse #PPE while confronting patients who refused to mask because their governor @GregAbbott_TX said it wasn't necessary? @itsmefi @MarkedByCovid

Recently hearing people complain about how tired they are of #COVID19 has been frustrating. For 22 months I’ve grieved the loss of my #HealthcareHero husband. I’ve helped my daughter grieve the loss of her Daddy (Papa). I’ve become a solo parent and adjusted to a new life.🧵 ImageImage
I’ve been asked “Did he have an underlying health condition?” I’ve heard people complain about how masks are ruining their lives, while covid ruined mine (a mask does not ruin your life…losing someone you love to covid does). @kdurquiza @Tara_Swanigan @A_shot_of_Ri @itsmefi ImageImageImage
I’ve seen how HCW’s & their families have been forgotten. I’ve seen how the children who lost a parent/caregiver have been ignored. @Cleavon_MD @drjessigold @CTZebra @DrEricDing @drbreenheroes @Jerri3dz @chrisjkocher @NickGuthe @DanRather @PoppyHarlowCNN @JanethNunezdelP @POTUS Image

This

@bruce_y_lee succinctly says what I lay out in multi-tweet threads

This is it in a nutshell

Divide and conquer is as old as time. Ask anyone whose history includes being colonized

#Healthcare is 1/5th of the U.S. economy. You bet non-clinicians want a piece of that
If you are someone who touches patients, has ever touched patients, provides direct care, has any clinical background, I'll be totally frank, I respect your role. If your salary adds to the 30% administrative overhead of #healthare in America, then I have questions about #value.
This is a framework my coauthors and I offered on how to assess value and cut waste. Let's start with administrative burden. What exactly do you get paid to do in #healthcare? (we should be asking) What does your job do to deliver on the quadruple aim?
