So, curious, WHY are they getting a percentage of all Medicare billing code revenue? And what are they doing with it? Anyone know how much $ it is?

I see some serious cock-blocking going on with RFK. The medical establishment ain't just gonna roll over. Billions are at stake.

They created them about 60 years ago so that doctors and hospitals and Medicare all spoke a common language. But they kept a copyright on them, so no one can use them for free.

Thanks oblongo! So what do they do with the money, exactly? And curious, why is their code so valuable that people would pay for it? I mean, I don't see why someone can't just come up with a different code (e.g., 1 for this ailment, 2 for this other ailment, 2a for this derivative of said ailment, etc. etc.) and quit paying high fees. Seems nuts to me. Anyone know?

Their journal, funding research, and mostly political donations that entrench them further.
They do some good shit, but mostly they've become the medical version of the NRA... bloated, high on their own farts, and mostly exist to keep existing.

RFK Jr is going to be the hardest nominee to push through confirmation. The entire government is in the pocket of deep pharma. This will be the recess appointment, imo. Big pharma really fucked Trump in 2020 by holding off announcements of vaccines until just days after the election.
Trump needs to be careful with RFK Jr. though because he's a democrat and an opportunist. Definitely not someone to be trusted.
