    And I will concede that.
  2. Anastasis
    I see the point conceded.

    This is an evidence based medicine and FDA role/responsibility thing. But Dr. Oz I guess.
  4. Anastasis
    Paxlovid, as just one example, but a particularly egregious one.
  5. Anastasis
    Not enough apparently.

    The FDA has under the current administration literally been promoting unproven claims regarding drugs they are supposedly regulating and y'all think that Trump appointments are a threat to the system. Maoist, lol.

    I was told they were the worst and most selfish generation. So you tell me.

    I was told there was going to be olds dying in the streets. But those olds are maybe boomers. And they have it coming to them. Its all very complex.

    democracy is fun, right?

    I'll wager any amount you wish on Medicare expansion vs. contraction over the next 4 years.
  11. Anastasis
    Just going on what I read here. Zoom out and that describes most individuals in the government.
  12. Anastasis
    The biggest expansions of Medicare over the last 25 years have occurred under republican administrations. Oz is more likely to continue that trend than swim against that stream.

    Medicare Advantage even covers the long acting versions. As long as you can clear the PA.

    There are many posters here that would benefit from some light antipsychotics sprinkled into their breakfast.

    You can probe the meat and get instant reads as you move through the temp gradients. ThermoWorks shit is far superior to anything else on the market, imo. Whether the cost is justified is a matter of personal opinion.

    Traditional grill work. Plus oysters.

    MA plans are bound by the same NCDs and LCDs as traditional fee for service Medicare. Drug coverage is not provided by traditional Medicare, so that is just a diversion and irrelevant to this exchange. Yes, MA plans will leverage their networks. And more crucially imo, leverage outcomes based reimbursement schemes. Lots of room for improvement all around, no doubt, but the move from traditional fee for service to paying for outcomes is a move in the right direction imo. And traditional Medicare is not the driving force behind that movement. Providers that know or learn how to optimize their outcomes measures will benefit from that system, providers that just run a ffs shop will have challenges. Again, these are all good areas for policy debate. Oz, as least to the extent that you can rely on anything he has said previously, isn't going to burn Medicare down to the ground.

    CMS sets the coverage criteria.
  19. Anastasis
    Objectively false. But again these are policy debates to be had.
  20. Anastasis
    That’s a debatable matter of policy. Over 50% of Medicare beneficiaries enroll in ma. If you want Medicare for all, ma is one pathway to that.
  21. Anastasis
    He was in favor of mandates though. And if I understand correctly his chief issue was that the mandates were not aggressive enough. Which was always the Achilles of the aca.
  22. Anastasis
    ACA is not Medicare. But other than that, good post.
  23. Anastasis
    Oz ain’t gonna burn Medicare down. He was an ACA supporter and a Medicare advantage advocate. If anything he is probably inclined to expand Medicare access by removing or reducing the age in.

    looks like starship was a success.
