@BrooksLaSureCMS: How can you reconcile the fact that the administration’s #regulations rely on these bankrolled academics and experts while also claiming that these regulations help #patients and our #healthcare system? This is an alternative reality.

I read it. It sounded familiar - like it was ghostwritten by one of the lobby groups I’ve come to know quite well. The ones that take advantage of poor understanding of the financing and business of healthcare...and EMTALA. I’ll share some different data. 1/n
I work in MN, the state with the lowest rate of OON billing. My independent practice (50years old) doesn’t balance bill charges to the <2% OON patients we see. Yet we expect the benchmark you advocate for to drive us out of business. healthsystemtracker.org/brief/an-exami…
