Why Is Healthcare Pricing Still a Secret? The government created two major rules in the early 2020s to help patients understand the actual cost of healthcare: 1️⃣ Transparency in Coverage Rule – Requires insurance companies to disclose negotiated rates. 2️⃣ Hospital Price Transparency Rule – Requires hospitals to publish their prices. The goal? To create a real marketplace where patients and providers could compare costs and make informed decisions. But here’s the problem: hospitals and insurers aren’t really complying. Instead of clear, easy-to-read pricing, they’ve published huge, unreadable data files called “machine-readable files.” These files are so big that even I can’t download them on my computer. 💰 Why would they do this? Because keeping prices a secret benefits them. If you don’t know what something costs until after treatment, you can’t shop around for better, more affordable care. Imagine going to a restaurant where there’s no menu with prices, and they just hand you the bill at the end. That’s how healthcare works right now. The government knows we need price transparency. But hospitals and insurers are making it as difficult as possible—because when you can’t see the cost, they control the system. If they were truly offering the best care, they wouldn’t need to hide their prices. But I want to know what you think? Should hospitals and insurers be required to provide clear, upfront pricing? Drop your thoughts below.

Mr. President, Please Seek the Truth on the Ground About SHA H.E. the President, Kenyans need to tell you the truth about what is happening on the ground with the Social Health Authority (SHA). SHA was launched with good intentions, and many Kenyans welcomed the transition from NHIF to a system intended to provide accessible healthcare to all. However, there are growing concerns that implementation challenges, administrative failures and possible malpractice in some facilities may be undermining the programme and creating the impression that SHA is not working. There are reports and concerns from patients that when a patient is referred from a Level 4 facility to a Level 5 or Level 6 hospital because of the seriousness of their condition, they may be asked to pay cash before admission, despite being under SHA. This is especially concerning because ordinary Kenyans were led to believe that they would be able to access covered healthcare without being required to make such payments. Another major problem occurs when the SHA system is unavailable or experiencing technical or administrative difficulties. Patients can find themselves unable to receive treatment unless they pay cash. A system failure should not become a reason for a sick person to be denied urgent medical care. There are also concerns that some hospitals may submit claims to SHA while simultaneously asking patients to make additional payments for services they believe should be covered. These allegations need to be independently investigated rather than dismissed. There are further concerns that individuals who previously benefited from fraudulent or questionable NHIF claims may have interests within the new system, and that some people within SHA or hospital management could be contributing to its problems. These are serious allegations and should not be treated as facts without evidence. However, they are important enough to warrant an independent investigation. Mr. President, please do not rely only on reports from officials within the system. Commission an independent, transparent assessment of SHA implementation across the country, particularly in public hospitals and among ordinary citizens who depend on public healthcare. The investigation should establish: 1.Whether hospitals are demanding cash payments for services covered by SHA. 2.Whether hospitals are submitting SHA claims while also charging patients for the same services. often system failures prevent patients from accessing treatment. 4.Whether public hospitals are receiving SHA reimbursements on time and whether those payments are reaching the intended services. 5.Whether there is fraud, abuse or conflict of interest within the SHA claims and payment system. 6.Why patients referred to higher-level hospitals are sometimes facing difficulties accessing care. 7.Whether the experience of ordinary Kenyans differs significantly from that of civil servants or other groups with easier access to healthcare services. The President should hear directly from patients, doctors, nurses, hospital administrators and independent healthcare experts not only from officials responsible for implementing SHA. If SHA is being sabotaged or poorly implemented, those responsible should be identified and held accountable. If the problems are caused by weaknesses in the system, those weaknesses should be corrected. Kenyans do not want SHA to fail. They want it to work. Mr. President, please obtain an independent report on what is actually happening in hospitals across the country and correct the mistakes before public confidence in SHA is lost. The success of universal healthcare should not be determined by reports on paper; it should be measured by whether an ordinary Kenyan can walk into a hospital when sick and receive the care they need without being forced to pay cash because of failures within the system.

NSW Health Minister Ryan Park updated the public on the incident of the NSW Healthcare workers seen on video claiming to have killed Israeli Australian patients that come to their hospital. The minister gave assurances to the community, said the workers will be sacked, and never work within the NSW healthcare system again subject to an investigation confirming the contents of the video. The hospital is also under review, to establish if there is a history of such incidents, as concerns grow in the community for the safety of patients attended to by these two heath-care workers. " Those people subject to that investigation will not ever be working for New South Wales Health again. There is no place, no place in our hospital and health system for this sort of view to ever, ever take place. There is no place for this sort of perspective in our society. But hospitals are different in the fact that every single Australian and every single resident of this state should be able to go to their local hospital when they need care and attention and get high quality care that is safe and effective. To the Jewish community today, I say not only am I sorry, but I can assure you this, the care that you get in our hospitals will continue to be first class. We will investigate this uphill and down dale. We will not just be looking at this incident per se, but we will also be obviously going through previous cases to make sure that that hospital has been working in a way that reflects those values around safety and care."

Another defamation case in the works? Ok. Will not apologize. Will not delete. But will apologise and delete if: 1) Institution of national repute will put out a public statement that they will ensure all patients - from all wakes of life will be treated with evidence-based scientific medicine without prejudice and not Ayurvedic quackery. If the patient wants Ayurvedic quackery then the doctors must counsel them on cons of the treatment because there are no pros. The final decision can be with the patient after a wholesome discussion. 2) Call back this patient with bipolar (see last video l) who received toxic ayurvedic products as part of bipolar mania treatment and provide actual guidelines based medical care. 3) Ayurveda practitioners who prescribed the set of herbals to the bipolar patient must show evidence for their treatment from classical as well as modern medical literature, mechanism of action, dosing studies, safety profile of each herbal and multi herbal combinations in this group of patients. The amount of abuses and harassment that alumni of NIMHANS showered on my Instagram was quite a lot. They were all worried about the "name" of their institute getting tarnished...NOT A SINGLE DOCTOR from NIMHANS reached out or responded asking how the patient was or about the atrocity committed against the patient. Not one. Patients do not go to NIMHANS for Ayurvedic treatment. If real doctors don't stand up for their patients, then who will? I know doctors who work in NIMHANS and such government run institutes are held hostage and scared. But I am not, because I am only concerned about patients and their family. And their right to healthcare. I vehemently stand against integrative quackery. And every doctor should too, if they have an iota of conscience and humanism left for their patients, past-present-and future.
