$IBM losing $27 billion in market cap in one session because a language model can now read COBOL is the clearest signal yet of what this AI cycle actually is.

It is not about efficiency. It is about which companies built their moat around friction rather than value. That distinction is getting priced out in real time.

@ronrule Thank you for posting this. Well said.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but changing who pays your medical bill does not change the amount on the bill.

The problem has never been insurance companies. The problem is how much providers are CHARGING the insurance companies. Nobody is talking about this. Insurance is expensive because CARE is expensive.

Moreover, have you ever experienced ANY company that makes as many billing "mistakes" as care providers? Double and triple billings, line items that have nothing to do with your visit, bills sent to both the patient and the insurance company, etc. When you actually look at your medical bills, it's never right. And when you call them out on it, the answer is always the same. "Whoops, sorry about that, billing mistake. We'll get this corrected."

No accountability whatsoever.

Do you know why insurance companies have so many people on staff scrutinizing every bill? Do you know why insurance companies will flat out DENY a claim that you KNOW should be covered?

Because they HAVE TO. That's how crooked medical billing is. They receive so much phantom and junk billing from providers they have to spend millions of dollars on people whose sole job is to scrutinize every bill.

It's so bad they sometimes have to use DENIAL as a weapon against it. These denials are rarely permanent; it's a tool insurance companies use to force the care provider to provide supporting documentation, and usually only used when they've had a problem with that particular provider or reason to suspect they're recommending prescriptions/procedures that aren't necessary.

All of the problems with American healthcare are at the provider level. This is 100% a provider problem. And it's the one place nobody is looking.

We will never fix healthcare by attacking the cost of insurance.

Mariah Carey makes $3mm/year from ONE Christmas song.

I figured: how hard could it be?
So I wrote “Christmas in the Islands” with my sons.

It’s tropical. It’s got palm trees. Santa’s in sandals.

@PeterMallouk May I respectfully add: “How supply and demand affect prices.”

If more people would step back and think about this, many people would lead happier AND more productive lives.

Quit worrying about what other people think about you. No one is thinking about you. Everyone is too wrapped up in their own world.
