So….what the fuck?

Fascinating quote here.

When it comes to prior authorization, "We believe we could work with insurance companies and get our arms around this." --@DrOz

The bigger challenge is bringing providers on board with a solution, he says

How sick is sick enough? New Medicaid work rule worries patient advocates, states https://t.co/rEMiSlTinw

[Dan Farmer @DanFarm62]

Very interesting callout. CMS says SDP changes will reduce provider payments by $510 billion (fed share only) over ten years- far more than what CBO projected HR 1 would cut.

👀 New Proposed Medicaid rule from Trump Administration goes way beyond what Congress put in HR1 and ⬆️ the cuts from $149B to $510B👀

Just unfathomable. It would take me 11-12 years to get over a torn Achilles.

Quite a few confused folks at Tower City tonight @GCRTA. If you want people to ride, please keep them informed.

[Dan Farmer @DanFarm62]

Hey @GCRTA how about providing some basic signage when you can’t switch lines at the usual stops? Or even an announcement? Real bummer.

[The Alliance @TheAllianceHome]

🚨The Alliance responded to the @cmsgov Fiscal Year (FY) 2027 Hospice Wage Index proposed rule.

While a 2.4% payment increase is a step in the right direction, more must be done to ensure that high-quality providers have the resources they need to operate in this demanding environment.

[AHCA/NCAL @ahcancal]

ACO models weren’t designed for long term care, and providers are feeling it.

We’re calling for an ACO model tailored to LTC residents to unlock substantial opportunities for increased participation, improved outcomes, and Medicare savings. See how: https://t.co/SG9YZfxc2W

[AHCA/NCAL @ahcancal]

“The goal is that ultimately, managed care and reimbursement models really reflect the true cost of delivering high quality, complex care.”

AHCA/NCAL Nisha Hammel spoke with @skilled_nursing about the need for ACO models for LTC. Read more: https://t.co/WJjcC0P5NJ

The Red Sox never should have traded Mookie Betts. Top ten bad sports day for me.

And now this is making me think about why they did it.

NEW: It's now more lucrative to have a losing sports team than a championship team.

We examined the Boston Red Sox to see how private equity and cost cutting invaded sports.

In this era, teams want to sell good players for profit more than they want to have a good season.
