Also, subsidies are not available for consumers at any income level who purchase outside of HealthCare.gov or a state marketplace. Those who remain uninsured risk fines."

Declining Charity Care Levels Raise Questions About 340B Hospital Eligibility - Morning Consult

The 340B program was created for an important purpose: to help uninsured, needy patients access the medicines they need. However, a new analysis paints a very different picture of how the program is currently operating. While 340B hospitals are tasked with serving vulnerable patients, data show 64...

Industry insiders have told me the only thing more remarkable than our transparent prices is that they're bundled. Here's how we do it:

"What currently passes for health insurance in America is really just prepaid health care — on a kind of all-you-can-consume buffet card. The system is a series of cost-shifting schemes stitched together by various special interests. There is no price transparency. The resulting overconsumption makes premiums skyrocket, and health resources get misallocated relative to genuine wants and needs."

We can't have a real debate if we don't agree on what the words mean. The definition of "insurance" in health care today is Orwellian at best.

Thanks to everyone who has liked this page during the Oklahoma legislative session. Thanks to a lot of people on this page contacting your senators and representatives, enough of them stood by their campaign promises and refused to accept any budget deal that included any version of Obamacare's Medicaid expansion. And you know what? We were proven right! No nursing homes are going to close and Oklahoma will still have a higher-than-average Medicaid reimbursement rate. OHCA's claims were half-baked at best; sadly they terrified a lot of vulnerable people. We'll keep this page going with an eye toward the next 2017 legislative session. Eternal vigilance.... In the meantime, we'll post positive stories about ways to make health care better without relying on the politicians. If you see a story we should share here, please send it to us by message or post it as a visitor post. Thanks again!
