Congressman Greg Murphy, M.D., recently expressed his views on healthcare regulation, executive compensation in the healthcare industry, and support for law enforcement through a series of tweets. The North Carolina representative shared these thoughts with his followers on May 15, 2025.
In an initial tweet posted at 17:26 UTC, Congressman Murphy addressed the regulatory challenges faced by physicians in hospitals. He advocated for reducing unnecessary regulations, stating “As we try to make the healthcare system much more efficient, we must turn to the ridiculous regulatory burden that physicians in hospital’s face. We must cut the nonsense out of the budget. Stop making rules just so there are rules to enforce.”
Later that day at 20:28 UTC, Murphy criticized the compensation practices within UnitedHealthcare (UHC), highlighting what he perceives as discrepancies between executive pay and patient care outcomes. He remarked “Absolutely criminal to pay the CEO of @UHC $60M in benefits when their company leads the nation in denying healthcare to its patients and compensation to those who provide their care. No wonder there is a criminal investigation against this company.”
Finally, at 21:33 UTC, Congressman Murphy took time to acknowledge National Police Week and praised law enforcement officers for their dedication. In his tweet, he stated “Happy National Police Week! Our brave law enforcement officers put their lives on the line daily to protect our communities. Their bravery and commitment to our safety do not go unnoticed.” He also mentioned legislative efforts supporting law enforcement.
