How do we put #FMRevolution into action? The state of primary care is precarious. Tinkering will not save it from collapsing. We need revolutionary deeds. My @AnnFamMed article out today calls for 3 decisive actions 🧵annfammed.org/content/21/2/1…

A new @Health_Affairs article provides important insights into how comprehensive #PrimaryCare can improve overall care and drive cost savings. Worth a read ⬇️ healthaffairs.org/content/forefr…

In their new Forefront article, @kgrumbach, Deborah Cohen, and @YaldaJabbarpour of @UCSF, @OHSUNews, and @TheGrahamCenter argue that much more assertive public policy is required to move the nation on a collective path to primary care for all. bit.ly/47ezVVl


Primary care is imperiled and needs rescue. With @DebCohenPhD @YaldaJabbarpour we explain in @Health_Affairs Forefront why for-profit conglomerates and PE are exploiters not saviors and call for an American Recovery Act to rebuild primary care. healthaffairs.org/content/forefr…

Let’s go, Coach Kerr! Thanks for bringing home the gold for Team USA, and for your leadership at a crucial moment for our country.


Very encouraging direction on PC payment reform from CMS! A big step for team based care compensation.

The burden should be on the plan, not the physician or their patients. Also, prior auth is a financial tool not a health care tool. It's not about appropriate care, it's about maximizing interest earnings - sorry, it is true.

>>> Kids interview @KamalaHarris "I don't like Donald Trump." "Me either."


Agree with @AOC with one friendly amendment: “…WILL be subject to”

Rep. @AOC says @KamalaHarris is "more than up to the task." Also warns re: Harris: "It's going to be very important that we brace ourselves for some of the unfair, misogynistic, and racial undertones, overtones, explicit attacks and implicit attacks that she may be subject to."

Mostly what we need is a plan, not just exhortation - more socioeconomic diversity in med students, moving education into communities, and using economic strategies to attract physicians to underserved communities. There is $ to do this. Make a PLAN. @AAFP_advocacy

Many people struggle to find and keep a primary care clinician, especially in low-income and rural areas. Our health care system's front door is closing on our most vulnerable communities. We need to rebuild and reimagine primary care. thepcc.pub/Health-is-Prim…

My medical opinion is that unfortunately Pres Biden’s medical team must have mixed up the NyQuil and DayQuil bottles last night before the debate ☹️
