What is happening The landscape of our healthcare system has been changing more and more. Only this year brought massive withdrawal of private companies, like Humana, from Medicare Advantage. There are many more. I have been writing for a long time about the fact that Medicare Advantage is not Medicare. It is a substitute created by private insurance companies, who set up plans to offer insurance to seniors in lieu of Medicare and receive the government money to do so.They all imagined that they can actually make a lot of money off the programs, mostly by attracting seniors to drop their regular Medicare plans and enroll in their programs.To encourage that, they promised a lot of'free'services. Nothing is free these days and seniors soon discovered that. Now, instead of offering those'free'services, many private companies simply pull out from offering anything. Another trend that affected healthcare, and very much dermatology, was a massive buy-out of independent medical practices. As the quotation below says: "...Private -equity acquisitions of physician groups increased by more than 600% from 2012 to 2021, according to analysis from Health Affairs. Often, when private equity or insurance companies purchase practices„ the focus shifts to profits over patient care„ Dr. Pollack said. "The focus for these entities is revenue, and if a practice can't be turned around to make more money, they might get cut loose. "he said. "Physicians can end up losing their patients and find themselves in worse situations than before...” Doctors are very unhappy in the environment of private investors directing healthcare decisions. It does not happen simply by telling them what to do. No, private equity executives know better. They simply create situations of lack of personnel, lack of proper medical supplies, schedules difficult to cover, multiple locations to attend, and more. All of this has only one goal: profit for investors. If there is not enough profit, one PE sells the'mega practice'to another PE and the circus starts all over. Hundreds of independent practices went out of business. Hundreds of Mme t isiuiutiutiutit��otovtti �uo��i aaett �ro��t
