    America’s healthcare system is huge, and immensely complex. It is the single largest sector of our economy, at more than one-sixth of GDP. But just because we have a complex system, and complex challenges, does not mean there are no simple principles for reform.

        100% agreee, there are simple solutions to all complex issues, site neutrality, elimination of clawback, passing savings directly to patients are good examples

        Agreed! So, take a look at what so many other enlightened, first world countries do with regard to universal healthcare. No need to reinvent the wheel. But we all know that Republicans couldn’t care less about an equitable solution to this issue so stop with the lip service. 🙄

        Agree with you @SecAzar but the simplest solutions are also some of the hardest. Single payer and price transparency with real competition would go a long way towards simplification

        Gutting health coverage for tens of millions is the only solution the GOP has come up with. Eliminating funding for health coverage (eliminating individual mandate) means millions lose health coverage. The GOP has no answer for complex challenges, only empty platitudes.

        All you're doing is proposing malware/vaporware, just as Ryan, Trump, and GOP did ever since Obamacare was enacted. And that's not when you were straight up calling for repeal, with no replacement plan.

        Too big to fail? Sounds familiar! How about we start with acknowledging our healthcare costs far exceed any other developed countries? And work to reducing these costs while going toward universal heathcare.pic.twitter.com/fXZDF1Yj3t

        Return the babies first. Including the ones whose parents are no longer in this country. Then you can start your error-ridden rant on health care.

        More from the Agency you oversee. Take this into account and u have a little over 13,000/yr which = less than NSAIDS. Yes, all OD's r tragic, but be transparent & start using true facts. Demand truth. It's dire! Look at suicide increase since GL's came out. Direct correlation.pic.twitter.com/u3ZK2aUmxD

        Very true. In addition, the picture is from CDC website on Rx Opioid OD's. I hope you are addressing & will halt the dissemination of the initial false stats to our policy makers & MSM. NSAIDS kill more/yr than Rx opioids. Pain pts are killing themselves due 2 denied Rx. #truthpic.twitter.com/f0R8w01nGO
