ED patients already wait 307 minutes on average — 100 minutes longer than the state median. Layoffs will only make it worse. We were proud to stand with local leaders, Orange County Supervisor Vicente Sarmiento, State Assemblymember Avelino Valencia, and more. #PatientsOverProfit #UCIHealth

While patient-facing staff face cuts, executives at these acquired hospitals saw a 30.8% pay increase, with average base wages of $529,810. UCI Health projects a 168% surge in net income by 2030. This is a choice, not a necessity. #PatientsOverProfit #UCIHealth

Patient-Centered Care → We cut costs, so you have to do more yourself.

Standard of Care → The bare minimum we’re legally required to provide.

💊 They cut costs. You suffer.

💰 They meet legal minimums. You deserve better.

Push for real healthcare, not corporate spin.

Drug Shortage → We stopped making it because it’s not profitable.

Patent Protection → We’ll block generics for decades to keep prices high.

Pharmaceutical Rebates → We overcharge, then pretend to give discounts.

Pre-Existing Condition Clause → You had it before? Too bad.

They deny you medicine if it’s not profitable.

They block cheap generics to keep prices high.

They jack up costs—then pretend to give "discounts."

They punish you for being sick before.

This isn’t healthcare. It’s extortion.

#BStranslator #MedicalScam #PharmaProfits #PatientsOverProfit

Medical Debt Forgiveness → We overcharged, now we’ll pretend to be generous.

They ruin lives with medical bills, then expect applause for canceling a debt they should never have charged.

This isn’t kindness. It’s a scam.

Healthcare should heal, not bankrupt.

#BStranslator #MedicalDebt #BigPharmaGreed #HealthcareFraud #EndMedicalDebt #HealthScam #PatientsOverProfit

Elective Procedure → It’s important, but we won’t cover it.

Medical Necessity Review → A random person will decide if you really need this.

Network Optimization → Your doctor isn’t covered anymore.

Optimized Workflow → Fewer nurses, more stress, longer wait times.

"Elective." "Necessary." "Optimized."

These words sound reassuring—until you realize they mean delays, denials, and dropped coverage.

They don’t call it rationing care—but that’s exactly what it is.

Your health isn’t a profit margin.

#BStranslator #HealthScam #PatientsOverProfit #EndMedicalDebt

Actuarial Adjustment → We calculated how to screw you over.

Claims Processing Delay → We don’t want to pay yet.

Actuarial Adjustment. Claims Processing Delay.
Sounds official, right? That’s the point. Big Pharma & hospital systems hide behind jargon to put profits over patients.
This week, we break down the deception in healthcare.

CMA sponsoring robust prior authorization reform package CMA is sponsoring a package of legislation aimed at ensuring that patients can get the care they need, when they need it, by reforming the broken prior authorization system.

All states should follow California's lead in enacting legislative reforms for prior authorization to reduce delays & improve transparency in healthcare! It’s past time for changes in these arbitrary denials. Better yet - let’s get it done on a federal level! #patientsoverprofit

Patients Over Profit: The Rebellion Daniel Kim peered into the greedy, uncaring faces of each board member gathered around the table.

When promises to patients are sacrificed for profit, someone has to fight back. Daniel Kim has had enough of corporate greed. With a team of insiders, he’s about to flip the script—and take the fight to the boardroom. #PatientsOverProfit #HealthcareReform tinyurl.com/mk4dyvsj

I sense a reckoning is approaching! The many patients and physicians I've spoken with are ready for and demanding real change. #patientsoverprofit #priorauthorization #denialsfordollars
