    We loved it on our test drive but were concerned about its low reliability rating with #consumerreports .

    As best we could tell, it's still apparently having ICCU and 12 volt failures, occasionally with long waits for parts, despite several recalls in the past few years.

    Would have loved to get one but we went with a more reliable #toyota #RAV4 #PHEV for the next 3 years.

    We didn't look at #Tesla because we're not fascists.😉

  2. I'm pondering what to do for my patients if/when our access to vaccines dries up thanks to #rfk_jr and the #bostonglobe puts a #nytimes health section fluff piece on that dangerous liar on Boston.com this morning.
    How about an article about how his lies killed 83 from measles in Samoa?

    The dam is turning into a quite the local fight with the restaurants and some residents not wanting any changes but it's obsolete, blocks fish and needs maintenance.
    I think a restoration of the original falls could be just as pretty.
    Where I grew up (Mass) we had herring runs every spring. That could give downtown Camden a little tourism boost before the big summer crowds come.

    I'm in and gave up taking insurance after years of trying to keep an independent practice solvent.

    Prepaying via makes routine care more expensive and incredibly complicated.

    Our #directprimarycare practice spends a lot of time helping patients with this.
    It's hard in #Rural #maine where several hospital networks have regional monopolies but there are some independent facilities and physician groups that offer discounts for direct pay, often significant compared to out of pocket costs for insured patients or far less, of course, than the chargemaster prices uninsured patients otherwise face.

    #primarycare apparentlyu doesn't have much #economiesofscale at that size.
    Thousands of small #directprimarycare practices are thriving and growing though so there are better ways.
    #familymedicine is complex but its business model can be simpler.

    Like many things in medicine, #healthinsurance makes it more expensive, not less.

    We can dispense generic for members of our #directprimarycare #familymedicine practice for about $14 and up for 30 tabs but Mark Cuban's #costplus pharmacy has it for even less (no relationship with them):
