    Why is #transparency essential in #healthcare? I found out a $5,500 procedure could have been available for just $550 elsewhere – only because I kept asking. http://bit.ly/2G4fxcZ pic.twitter.com/Eyqc2znBLQ

        So....as president of Eli Lilly you had a high-deductible plan...but can't understand why people with Type 1 who pay $300 per vial of insulin because of your greed can't have Cadillac coverage? Get. Fucking. Bent.

        Transparency? We still aren’t sure how @CMSGov calculated bid rates in round 1!

        #transparency is explaining why all areas of healthcare are not being “competitively” bid. Why is competitive bidding only required for DME?

        Hey smart guy, how ‘bout you direct the CBIC to be transparent about the DME financial standards for accepting bids as well as what the actual median composite bids were? How’s THAT for being transparent?

        In Home Medical Equipment they will be disappointed in the rate CMS reimburses at and the poor quality of equipment they will receive because of it.

        How about transparency of R&D outlays, specific to a drug, particularly as regards clinical trials used for the approval?

        Were you in an ambulance at the time? Bleeding? In ketoacidosis? This is NOT how people make decisions about their medical care.

        As an owner of a physician owned free standing ambulatory surgery center, I’m really pro transparency of surgical procedures.

        And the price of insulin - which I cannot live without - went up by how much during your tenure at Eli Lily? #wearenotwaiting #T1D #DPAC

        HHS no longer responding to multiple email inquiries - meaning they’re refusing to let the public know if an official they suspended for controversial remarks is at work. https://twitter.com/ddiamond/status/971039664781123584 …

        This is good. Keep this #transparency Intervention going... People have a right to know how much a procedure is going to cost BEFORE and not after insurance is billed...
