I hadn't gone exploring through the settings till now. You can add a share button for your instance by going to Settings > Sharing > Add sharing method. After that you just paste in your instance URL (ex. https://lemmy.ca for me). The steps are the same for both Lemmy and Mastodon

Makes it much easier to share content here :)

Highlights

• This study investigates why specialist physician fees vary.
• We consider variation between patients, physicians, specialties, and other factors.
• We find variation between physicians dominates other sources.
• Contrary to common beliefs, patient factors account for little of the variation.
• Our results inform policy to improve price transparency in specialist care market.

More context:

Although Australia has a publicly funded health system that provides universal health coverage, about 44 % of the population holds private health insurance. Specialist physician fees in the private sector are unregulated; physicians can charge any price they want, subject to market forces.

We find that patient risk factors account for a small portion of the variance in fees and out-of-pocket payments

Physician-specific variation, responsible for much of the variation in total fees and OOP payments, could include physician characteristics that patients value, such as bedside manner, experience or reputation, or factors related to physicians’ circumstances or preferences. A key physician-level factor that may drive the variation is the perception of quality or skill differences between physicians. This perception can come from either consumers or physicians themselves about their quality or skill levels in comparison to other physicians in the physician's local market. [...] which can lead to large price variation and non-transparency of fees.

Recommendations

The government, private health insurers and physicians themselves could all play a more active role than they currently do. The government, for example, could mandate the disclosure of price and quality information for all procedures that receive government subsidies, insurers could provide incentives for the disclosure of such information, and physicians could change their referral practice to give preferences to other physicians who are willing to be transparent about their prices and quality.

My time at Portainer came to an end in May due to restructuring/layoffs. I am proud of the work the team and I put in. Being the Head of Marketing is challenging but I am thankful for the personal growth and all that we accomplished. Monday starts the search for my next role!

You'll need to copy and paste the links, I didn't want to send them any direct traffic.

The ads seem to be targeted at younger and less tech-literate audiences. There are some comments on the posts joking/accusing them of being a honeypot, and the "company" is pretending to not understand.

Ignoring all the over the top outfits and video edits, here are some of their claims:
