Do Not Resuscitate (This System) #329 Jan 4 2024

This is Tim Frasca. Every week, I cover the mainstream and specialty healthcare news media about how we spend trillions of dollars making intermediaries rich instead of making ourselves healthier. This week, I discuss the sudden conversion of presidential candidate Dean Phillips to Medicare for All; the problems with the federal ban on surprise bills in hospitals; how the drug pricing business is starting to get a shake-up; more on the ongoing mass expulsion of millions of people from Medicaid; the fight against monopolistic practices in healthcare being led by the Federal Trade Commission, and several other items of interest.
