Talking to independent physicians, it's obvious that the big insurance carriers are doing to them, what their PBMs are doing to independent pharmacies.

They deny, underpay, slow pay, clawback, and create administrative mazes, knowing their victims don't have the time or resources to fight.

Why ? By putting financial pressures on physicians and pharmacies, it makes them more likely to sell their businesses to them , close their doors, or refer the business to their captive pharmacy or provider. All benefitting the biggest insurance companies

We need to ditch the concept of "claims" and make every delivery of medications or care as a billable event that must, by law, be paid on a timely basis , with interest charges for any delays. If the physician or pharmacy doesn't deliver , the carrier has plenty of legal options already. As does the patient.

This is not an efficient market. This is the big guy abusing the little guy. It needs to change to better the care we get in this country

@MoneyUnpluggedP @Spotify @YouTube Always nice to hear you and Matt together. At the end of the podcast he recounts getting interested in complex RE investments at one time, & maybe simple investing beats complexity. As a MF Mogul member, I appreciate him saying this. Waiting for these to wrap up, 7yr later.

@WSUCougars Such a brilliant and dynamic leader. Proud to have met Nancy when I was just a teenager looking for a job and on several occasions throughout my life. Thank you, Nancy. Go Cougs!!!

If I'm AD Anne McCoy I am royally pissed right now. Somehow this guy managed to help torpedo the Pac 12 Conference and his own school all in two short years.
