REPUBLICAN Rep. Dr. Greg Murphy: “I’ve had patients cry, physicians cry & quit… there’s a systematic denial/delay of care. It took ME 8 denials to get medicine I need… I’d turn the insurance industry into dust. The bottom line is profit. Our system is sad.” #MedicareForAllNOW

@GregMurphyMD Yet he voted for trump & his band of grifters & criminals. As a republican, he also supports RFK Jr in his dismantling of our health care, so f*ck him if he’s just now realizing how awful our hc is - & his is free for life.

@GregMurphyMD Republicans are a grievance party. They’ll work for years to stifle or destroy meaningful progress then launch campaigns that complain about the outcome of the destruction they aided. Voters fall it & give them power just for them to do absolutely nothing to make things better.

@GregMurphyMD Our country is filled with super wealthy corporate entities and persons. Slowly killing us. One digital and/or energy/industrial/financial/healthcare oriented cruelty and brutality at a time.

@shashatheitch22 @GregMurphyMD It’s time we, the 99% on the wrong side of the wealth gap, unite. Stop letting billionaires divide us through fear. They are the villains. Trump was going to “go after r*pists and m*rderers. The joke is on us. That evil is at the top. The felon is protecting himself.

@GregMurphyMD So is he voting against Republican bills? Against Trump? It's all just talk unless he takes action against his party, which is the party causing these issues & intending on making them way, way worse. Put up or shut up.

@GregMurphyMD Healthcare should not be for profit. People can stimming make good money without the corporate greed.

@GregMurphyMD That’s what happens when government lets health insurance companies practice medicine without a license.

Well yeah, listen to the Doctor carefully, he doesn't want Universal Healthcare, he wants to preserve the system. Most hospitals are nonprofits. The doctor is Virtue Signaling while still propping up the system he's criticizing. Unfortunately, most people will agree with him, without fully understanding the mechanism that's being used to fool them...🤷‍♂️

@GregMurphyMD Great sentiment, but how does he vote? The GOP talks “populist,” but votes for the privileged.

@GregMurphyMD This is why we need Medicare for All & price controls on prescription drugs, like every developed European country has. We're living in the dark ages because the stupid "poorly educated" vote against their own interests due to being brainwashed by the racist Southern Strategy.

@Marie617Area @GregMurphyMD Thank you. I am on Medicare since I’ve reached the golden age, I pay extra for my plan due to my needs. Yes it went up a lot this year but not only that, my inhaler for my asthma has gone from a 30.00 copay to 110.00. I didn’t ask for asthma but my insurance feels differently.

@GregMurphyMD When I call foul, because I suffer from chronic pain, I am called an addict. It diverts from the truth that healthcare has become focused on Profits and patients are disposable cannon fodder for the money changers.

@GregMurphyMD Nice to see a Republican get on board this issue! Cause this really is an issue. Fucking companies just take your fucking money for years just to turn around and deny you. I love how he said if left up to him he’d turn them to dust.

House Compressional Hearing on US Health Insurance Companies Rep Greg Murphy, MD says Health Insurance Companies have destroyed the healthcare industry and have made an entire industry around denying care for profit “I have been a physician for 35 years and sadly have had a front seat to witness the decay and decline of one of America's largest industries and that's the health insurance industry. I have had patients cry in my room, have had physicians cry to me, throw up their hands in disgust and quit because of actions of our health insurance industry. Nothing you're going to say to me today is going to change that. You have put profits above patients and you put profits above those who care for patients. You're sitting here blaming hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, even physicians. There is blame to go away, to go around there. But you have squarely abused your privilege of authority” “There has been systematic denial and delay of care. It took me eight denials myself to get a medicine that I need to exist” “There's been a weaponization of prior authorization. You are killing people who are trying to get deliver healthcare. There's been abuse with the Medicare Advantage plans. My God, I could talk about that for hours. Deceiving and extorting taxpayer dollars” “There had been record profits. I don't want to hear about the fact you're not taking profits. We know how money gets moved around in these companies. The C-suite executive salary compensations is a slap in the face to the average American who goes bankrupt because they cannot afford health care.” “You've manipulated medical cost ratios by the way that you pay physicians and the way that you hide money through your PBMs. The vertical integration. You guys own PBMs. You own pharmacies. You own health agencies, physician groups. Good God, you own a bank.” “If I had my way, I'd turn all of you guys into dust. We'd start back from scratch. We'd have competition in the industry. We'd have associated health plans. And we would have nonprofit hospitals rather than profit being put over patients. Sadly enough, I'm not naive enough to believe that anything that's been said today is going to change boardroom behavior. I don't think it will happen. The bottom line is profit”

“The act of signing a denial is practicing medicine.” — Dr. Tracey Hurley If a physician makes a medical decision and that decision harms a patient, we are held accountable. That is how medicine works. Yet insurance companies make treatment decisions every day through denials and prior authorizations, without ever seeing the patient and without meaningful accountability when those decisions cause harm. In this powerful investigation, Erin Moriarty of 48 Hours examines how insurers are increasingly inserting themselves into medical decision making, often driven by profit rather than patient safety. Millions of Americans are paying high premiums, facing crushing deductibles, or being denied medically necessary tests and treatment. Even physicians who understand the system are forced to fight for care while patients are fighting for their lives. In this interview, Dr. Tracey Hurley shares what it looks like on the inside. You will hear how denials impact families, why prior authorization has become a tool for rationing care by inconvenience, and what happens when delays are treated as neutral instead of dangerous. This story matters. It shows what happens when insurance companies practice medicine without accountability. We owe it to the late Dr. Hurley and to every patient who did not have the time, energy, or resources to keep appealing. This should not be normal. I hope you will watch the full interview ( ) and share it. Change only happens when we stop accepting this system as inevitable. Thank you CBS, Erin Moriarty, and Sari Aviv for covering this story and bringing these voices forward.
