THREAD - Doctors want to fix “surprise bills” more accurately called unpaid insurer bills but today’s “agreement” is NOT the right fix for patients
It’s just a big boost to insurer profits & will shutter independent physician practices & rural hospitals!

Just joined other House and Senate leaders in announcing a surprise billing agreement. Under this agreement, the days of patients receiving devastating surprise out-of-network medical bills will be over. https://t.co/HELY6OiPtS

This is just giving more power to profitable insurers

Insurers have total control over “median in network” rates w their monopolies

Independent practices had to shutter their doors or join large health systems to survive. Consolidation drives up costs! Rural areas were hit hardest.

Tying arbitration to “median in network” rates gives insurers ALL the leverage

“From 2015-2018, the Out of Network Law saved NY more than $400 mil in emergency services, reduced out-of-network billing by 34%, lowered in-network ED physician payments by 9%”

NY’s surprise bill saved consumers $400 mil per @NYGovCuomo @NYDFS
In CA consumer complaints re access to care skyrocketed after benchmarking implemented

HR3502 by @DrPhilRoe @Dr_RaulRuiz already has 110 cosponsors but House and Senate leadership continues to ignore!

This agreement though is unacceptable - benefits insurers only & will crush independent practices & rural hospitals. Will drive consolidation, ⬆️ cost, exacerbate access to care problems

This is the $1mln question still without an answer: why were these workers cleaning bat guano from that abandoned mine?
Surprisingly we simply don't know.
China would have all interest in clarifying that point if for instance they were prospecting or selling guano. It did not.
What we know is that EcoHealth + WIV were sampling bat sites in the vicinity at the exact time of the workers being in that mine.
#DRASTIC wrote about this and about other oddities in the official story:
Maybe it's just one of these coincidences.
Then it gets interesting: about a year after the miners death, Olival & Epstein from EcoHealth Alliance co-authored a paper about the coronavirus risk infection from bat guano collection.
No mention of the
That paper oddly used some old bat samples collected by DARPA in 2006/7 at the famous Thai bat cave.
It never mentioned that the Thai monks have been doing this every Sunday for many many years without infection.
But most interestingly it never mentioned the Mojiang mine accident, even if the perfect timing and recycling of old DARPA bat samples seem to point to a likely knowledge of it.
Anyway, the idea was to ask for more money, as you correctly

The miners were tasked with removing bat feces. AFAIK it hasn't been established why they were doing this. Given that EcoHealth was collecting bat fecal samples in the same province around the same time, is it possible these miners were actually collecting guano for EcoHealth?

I think a plausible explanation is that whatever Corbyn says or does, his critics will denounce - no matter how much hypocrisy it necessitates.
Corbyn opposes the exploitation of foreign sweatshop-workers - Labour MPs complain he's like Nigel
He speaks up in defence of migrants - Labour MPs whinge that he's not listening to the public's very real concerns about immigration:
He's wrong to prioritise Labour Party members over the public:
He's wrong to prioritise the public over Labour Party
One of the oddest features of the Labour tax row is how raising allowances, which the media allowed the LDs to describe as progressive (in spite of evidence to contrary) through the coalition years, is now seen by everyone as very right wing
