Reflecting on my stint on the inpatient #palliative service this week. Crazy busy. Thankful for my colleague for helping out so we could give patients/families the time and provide high quality care.
This and every winter solstice I remember a certain special clinic patient long gone.

I appreciate you taking the time. I read the report in the past. Many things. VA doesn't do a good job of negotiating price. See attached. Same drug at @costplusdrugs is 33c per pill.
You don't mention transparency at all. No m4all will work without complete transparency.
I believe wholeheartedly that it is achievable. But not by just wishing it will happen.
To get there we need to
1. Make the big insurance companies divest non ins biz.
2. Complete transparency on pricing, and the documentation behind the pricing.
