@DGlaucomflecken This whole debacle is killing me 😂. It’s almost like no one gets the joke and clear rat race that exists. We may have a disconnect about the current application process for most students.

@DrDiGiorgio If this is the sentiment, we need contract with hospitals as private groups and stop accepting employee contracts

“Don’t tell dad”! 10yrs ago my daughter was pregnant with her first child(who is pictured here with him in front of her). My wife and I took our very first trip alone in 25yrs for our anniversary. In middle of night my wife wakes me up saying our daughter’s leg was swollen,blue and in extreme pain. My daughter told my wife not to wake or bother me, but of course she immediately did. I immediately sent her to the ER for US to rule out DVT. Study was inconclusive and sent to her OB. I talked to her OB who proceeded to tell me it was common for pregnant women to have unilateral leg swelling and pain in pregnancy because of increased blood volume. She said she was pregnant not handicapped. My daughter was seen by her in the office and told all was fine and this was normal. We were 4,000 miles away. I felt helpless and this OB dismissed my daughter’s symptoms. My daughter still in college, tried to go to class and got crutches to walk to class. When I heard this and after the OB convo, I sent my daughter to my friend, a vascular surgeon, who scanned her himself. He diagnosed her with foot long DVT in her left femoral vein. Immediate hosp admit and placed on heparin drip. The OB never returned my calls after this. My sons went to her beside and we flew home. Fast forward and my daughter carried her son to term and delivered a healthy little boy, first grandchild. Months later my vascular friend said there is a rare condition called May-Thurners and she could have it. She went for a Venogram and sure enough she had it and got a stent. She’s fine and has had two more children. I share this story to raise awareness of May-Thurners as often the first symptom is death. Any unilateral left sided pain and swelling in a female patient should be taken seriously. I believe a vascular srgn should do initial work up as ER and US can be neg or inconclusive. I’m convinced had I not been a surgeon,comfortable enough to push back and not accept info given,my daughter and grandson may have died. This condition has likely seen us more than we see it. Be on alert with female patients with left sided leg pain and swelling. Please share and raise awareness of #Maythurner

@mcuban It would help, want to help?

So there was considerable fraud w the ACA enrollments:

When you pay brokers per ACA enrollment, not per verified coverage, you shouldn’t be shocked when fraud explodes.
CMS just suspended hundreds of agents for enrolling people without consent — even switching their plans midyear.
Perverse incentives → predictable results.
