Beth Burton+FollowMedicare Under 65? Read This ShockerTurns out, if you’re under 65 and on Medicare without any extra coverage, you’re way more likely to hit financial and access roadblocks when you need care.

Ashley Johnson+FollowCMS Shakes Up Nursing Home Payments?Big changes could be coming for nursing homes! CMS is pushing for value-based care and wants to make payments the same across different care settings. That means nursing homes, home health, and rehab facilities might all get paid the same for similar patient needs. Sounds fair, but it could mean less money for nursing homes and more for home health. Plus, CMS is looking to loosen rules on who can own or expand nursing homes. This could totally shake up the industry! #HealthcareNews #NursingHomes #Medicare #ValueBasedCare #CMS #Health1611Share

Terry Brown+FollowWould You Pay $10K for VIP Doctor Access?Concierge medicine is blowing up—think super-personalized care, no insurance headaches, and your doc actually knowing your name.

This trend is splitting healthcare into VIPs and everyone else. Would you shell out for this, or stick with the usual wait-and-see game? #ConciergeMedicine #HealthcareDivide #VIPCare #HealthTrends #Medicare #Health01Share
