A media blitz has been going on to demonize Doctor salaries. It's obviously funded by the Healthcare-Pharma Complex, to deflect blame onto Doctors for high Healthcare costs. It is the worst kind of gaslighting against doctors, because the exact opposite situation is true.

Just when you thought Coal Chamber couldn't get any heavier, they come out with this absolute death metal banger. https://t.co/aRZWNxGLrv @NadjaPeulen

The fundamental problem with US Healthcare is misplaced incentives. Doctors and patients aren't financially affected by the cost of most treatments, so they care more about "is it covered" rather than "is it necessary". There are millions of jobs whose main purpose is to

Dedicating yourself to public service, teaching, healthcare or motherhood used to be noble. Now politicians, teachers, nurses, doctors and moms are attacked and called greedy, selfish, ideological or worse. Let's bring back nobility to these professions. A change from within.

Here are the numbers.

Since 1992, hospital administrator pay has tripled while doctor pay from Medicare has increased only 3%.

Comparing doctor and hospital administrator pay increases since 1992 is striking. Doctors have had to more than double their efficiency and patient volume to make the same real income, while administrator salaries tripled. I don't think Congress knows these basic facts.

In the 1990s, your doctor's appointment lasted 15-30 minutes, and you really had a connection. Medicare work RVU payment- 1992: $32 2025: $33 Inflation: 131% Now doctors have to work twice as hard and practice assembly-line medicine to pay their staff and student loans.

Whenever there's a post by Elon, Trump or Obama, there's no point in looking at the replies. Nothing but memes paid for by PR botfarms. Can we try to ban PR firms that are paid to change public opinion? It's so disingenuous. This is a real problem we don't discuss enough.

It's humbling to doctors when we realize 80% of the health outcomes that we measure are determined by lifestyle factors that we have little real influence on, despite every effort. We handle emergencies, infections, childbirth etc very well, but forget health is mostly lifestyle.

50% of your success in life is determined by your 9 months it the womb and the first 2 years of your life. Dept of Education funding should be shifted 50% to this period.

5 steps to immediately lower premiums for Medicare, Medicare Advantage, Workers’ Compensation, and Commercial Health Plans. 1. Direct the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid to cease the site of service differential. @DrOzCMS could do this today. 2. Enforce the Price

Well at least 53 souls briefly thought about this question-

When you understand that money is fungible, you see that all new government spending is effectively a tax hike on all Americans. The trick is in wording. Critical Subsidies for Children in Poverty (tax hike) and Income Tax Increase (same tax hike) don't register the same.

Disclaimer this is from Grok and not fully comprehensive, but meant to put things in perspective. Daily NSAID and Tylenol use at high doses seem to be harmful, but low Sporadic doses seem inconsequential.

Here's a comprehensive list of what drugs not to do during pregnancy, in regards to the Tylenol debate. 100% is ranked as worst: Thalidomide (Daily Use) - 100% Isotretinoin (Daily Use) - 95% Methotrexate (Daily Use) - 90% Cocaine (Daily Use) - 88% Heroin (Daily Use) - 86%

Grok placed me a pure Centrist with Tom Brady at exactly 50th percentile. @TomBrady I guess we need to do a podcast and fix the country.

Despite social media sounding like we are nearing a Civil War, doctor's offices, coffee shops, concerts, sporting events and even schools are pretty much normal, while everyone is 10 times more worried about their finances than politics. 10 to 1 people care about $ first now.

Grok placed these people on a political spectrum based on and even distribution of the US population (3.5 Million people in each percentile). Ask Grok to review your profile and give you a percentile... Political Spectrum Placements (1 = Far Left, 100 = Far Right) Common
