Health care funding in the US is extraordinarily complex, but one of the invisible components is the uncompensated care provided by hospitals. It's one of the reasons America has the most expensive health care in the world, we do not know the true cost to get care, nor provide care. In my opinion, universal basic insurance coverage would go a long way towards helping hospitals have financial stability, in addition to the public health benefits of doing so. Virginia Hospital & Healthcare Association (VHHA) just put out a report on Community Benefit -- just in Virginia, more than $2 billion in uncompensated care. #healthcare #healthcarecosts #virginia

Most value-based care conversations focus on facilitating the payment mechanism, which is important, but Rob Allen, president and CEO of Intermountain Health, wants to talk more about alignment. When anyone asks him about value-based care, he responds: "What value for whom? What value are we creating and for whom are we creating it?" "'As we answer those questions, I think we truly can create a value model that serves our communities, and serves them well" #valuebasedcare #populationhealth #communityhealth #upstreamvalue

Chief Mission Officer at @PatientsRising | Advocate for equitable healthcare access & fighting discriminatory benefit design
A few days before the Fly-In, my 88-year-old mother-in-law (now 89 since Monday!) had a stroke. I didn't talk about it much because so much was unknown (and still is) about the future. I powered through the Fly-In, and that would not have been possible without the incredible people on the Patients Rising team and all the advocates I had the honor of working with and getting to know better. We had three educational panels at the Fly-In. The first one was titled "Transforming Healthcare: The Access Act and Its Vision for HSAs." I want to thank our incredible panelists, Brian Blase and Jessica Baladad. Patients Rising's north star is empowering patients to transform health coverage and care to their benefit. As MacKay Jimeson says -- we want to be the leading source of patient-inspired health policy. That means having lots of conversations like these. Healthcare is not one-size-fits-all. Having insurance is a start, but if you don't have access because your plan does not cover what you need, are you really getting care? If your copays and coinsurance are too high for your low cost premium -- are you compliant? These are conversations we need to have on repeat. There are lots of great ideas and potential solutions to a myriad of healthcare problems. Let's keep talking about those ideas and let patients tell us how it will help and what the roadblocks might be. How do we work to effectively communicate the problems and work together on solutions? And finally -- I know we needed a backdrop for the stage. It'll be the first thing I order in 2025. 😬 #EmpowerPatients #Healthcare #Advocacy #PatientsRisingFam #Patients #WeThePatients2024

CEO | Entrepreneur | Self-Funding & Employee Benefits Expert | Small Business Advocate: 1. restoring freedom of choice to healthcare 2. inspiring culture, connected by benefits
It’s not quite as simple as cutting out the middleman; rather, it’s about removing intermediaries who aren’t necessarily bringing value to the equation (SEE ALSO: your traditionally designed health plan, which is often built both by and FOR an insurer’s benefit rather than yours). There are better ways…

It is no secret that affordable healthcare is tough to come by, and the system as a whole isn’t much of a consumer-driven market. PSE's President, Erik S. Sonju, gave his testimony supporting Wisconsin Senate Bill 328 at the Senate Committee on Health (Public hearing) in October of this year. At PSE, not only are we advocating for more affordable healthcare and price transparency in Wisconsin, but we are finding creative ways to ensure all of our employees throughout the U.S. are taken care of when it comes to healthcare and optimal insurance coverage. We are proud to advocate for a better future and proud of our President for taking the initiative to do so. How can you help spark a better, more affordable future? #PSE #affordablehealthcare
