   Gone Girl

   Marilyn Tavenner just stepped down after three tumultuous years at the helm of America’s Health Insurance Plans, a K Street powerhouse that’s seen its influence decline as Washington grew more hostile to Obamacare.

   Bernie Sanders doesn’t like healthcare providers

   “Libertarian think tank: Providers would pay for Medicare for All” By Susannah Luthi for Modern Healthcare, July 30, 2018.

   http://www.modernhealthcare.com/article/20180730/NEWS/180739993?utm_source=modernhealthcare&utm_campaign=am&utm_medium=email&utm_content=20180730-NEWS-180739993

   A libertarian think tank on Monday alleged that the Medicare for All plan backed by Sen. Bernie Sanders would put the brunt of the proposal’s costs on provider pay cuts.

   In a white paper released Monday by the Mercatus Center of George Mason University, senior research strategist Charles Blahous claimed healthcare spending constraints laid out in the plan from the Vermont independent senator fall almost totally on providers … Blahous warned that the Sanders blueprint for coverage would likely lead to a huge spike in overall healthcare utilization, not only because more people would automatically be covered for services like dental and vision care but also because it bans any co-pays or deductibles.
