Many express frustration with the shortage of primary care physicians, which leads patients to be “forced” to see NPs. Focus is also given to the denial of care by health insurance companies and the need to end employer-sponsored insurance subsidies. There is a sense of confusion and disagreement over the use of the term “Dr” by NPs, and some express concerns about the quality of care provided by mid-levels.

| 1636773517646520320 | Yes! Why is it that my employer decides what health insurance I get to have? Makes no sense. @CatoInstitute @mfcannon This German native is very confused by this random historic U.S. policy… https://t.co/EpnAOq1Lsu | 4 |
| 1638387647167987713 | The health insurance companies that are denying you care get a massive subsidy from the federal government in the form of a tax exclusion for employer-sponsored health insurance. We should end this, as @mfcannon argues in this excellent policy analysis: https://t.co/hqnRCVxAyo https://t.co/CeznC1pzOn | 3 |
| 1636393918412496897 | @mfcannon @PhukUrFewlings @JJWUrology You act like patients know they're being seen by a NP, when most of the time they don't. Because they call themselves Dr, wear white coats, don't correct pts, and more to purposely mislead patients | 3 |
| 1636418121060827156 | Like any other savings account, HSA funds belong to account holders and move with them from job to job and from health plan to health plan, @mfcannon writes: https://t.co/ibR7hcKgpF #CatoHealth https://t.co/iwv3V8epD9 | 3 |
| 1636403109416296450 | @mfcannon “Takes away their right to practice” is a weird way to characterize the appropriate restriction of non-physicians from full medical practice. | 2 |
| 1638940507479875589 | Tell me more about your free healthcare (cc: @mfcannon) https://t.co/WlXuBN82aF | 2 |
| 1636445505176899584 | @mfcannon The majority of patients don’t choose a nurse practitioner; it is FORCED on them, primarily through schemings of for-profit healthcare but also due to shortage of primary care physicians. | 2 |
| 1636354168616112130 | @drgeorgedavis @mfcannon Rights do not come from the Constitution...they are inherent to us as individuals. The government takes them away and sells them back to us. The Constitution codifies some inherent inalienable rights in an effort to guarantee protection of them, but does grant them. | 2 |
| 1636361922042900480 | @mfcannon Hey Michael. #WeAreAllPatients. You can’t imagine the harm we see daily. This movement didn’t arise from territorial concerns. It stems from the fear..sure.. fear that when we or loved ones are sick, we get stuck w #NotExactly. If you knew.. you’d be scared too | 2 |
| 1636721182572421124 | @mfcannon @pgipe @TakeWeightOffMD And don’t bother talking about wasteful utilization as everyone knows they never succeeded with disproportionately lowering “low value” utilization - access and utilization is lower across the board. Zero value. Sometimes the cost are simply pushed down 5-10 y in the future. | 1 |

| 1636535725146656772 | @mfcannon “Full extent of their training” is a catch phrase, totally devoid of practical meaning used by bad policy actors to justify two tiered health care One for the rich and educated who receive physician lead care and for everyone else midlevels Follow the money (consulting fees) | 17 |

| 1636431039617720320 | @Mtnbiker15 @JJWUrology @mfcannon @PhukUrFewlings Then I regret to inform you you're not too up to date on the newest generation of midlevels. | 13 |

| 1636541739904147456 | @Mtnbiker15 @mariamedicine @JJWUrology @mfcannon @PhukUrFewlings I know many NPs who introduce themselves as "Dr" and then the physician walks in and the patient is confused | 10 |
| 1637161978719346689 | @RealityDiplomat @DrBonesMD @MidlevelCare @DMSc_Lynchburg If NP=MD then the logical conclusion would be to 1. Close medical schools 2. Open more NP schools Right? @mfcannon | 8 |
| 1637455857439981569 | @mnolangray @mfcannon Second thread today I've seen upfront declarations that YIMBYs don't need to be argued with because good people like the tweeter already know they're wrong, and I'm actually glad they're abandoning attempts to persuade. | 7 |
