It seems so simple, yet so few do it. After 33 years in business, one theme rings true: good and great are separated by humility.

Bad: Guees, and state opinions with declarative certainty

Good: Observe and guess

Great: Observe, form a hypothesis, collect ideas and thoughts from others. Perhaps create experiment and THEN guess with authority.

Medicine 3.0 Chapter is perfectly illuminating, right down the the JFK quote that opens it: “The time to repair the roof is when the sun is shining”

BREAKING NEWS: The merger train is rolling....Big news in regional health-plan consolidation: Independent Health will join MVP Health Care’s family of companies, creating a not-for-profit platform serving nearly 1 million members and generating about $7B in annual revenue.

No immediate changes for members, but this move signals a broader trend: regional plans are partnering up to gain scale, modernize operations, and stay competitive in a tougher regulatory and cost environment.

Before you start getting excited about the “underdog” taking the lead,payroll by team top 5:

Dodgers
Mets
Yankees
Phillies

And……Blue Jays

There have been 40
World Series game sevens in history. The last one was 2019. They are rare. They are the greatest single moment in baseball

Both teams have played 179 games this year.

This is game 180. For it all.

[Jeff Yaniga @Jeff_Yaniga]

Game 180. Both the #Dodgers and the #BlueJays play game 180 tonight. One game. For it all. Half of their year has come down to one game.

Two first ballot hall of famers on the mound.

Man I love baseball.

[Jeff Yaniga @Jeff_Yaniga]

It’s time. Trade Myles Garrett. Do the right thing. Throw in Jose Ramirez.

Wake up call, not just for Minnesota and Mayo Clinic, but for all Medicare Advantage leaders.

The Mayo Clinic just walked away from UnitedHealth Group and Humana ’s Medicare Advantage networks. That’s not a Minnesota story — it’s a market signal. Two of the biggest private payers couldn’t make the math work with one of the best hospitals in the world.

If you lead product for a Medicare plan, this is the moment to get proactive — not reactive. Here’s where to focus:

1.Stress-test your product

Map your high-value providers. If one walks, how many members lose access? What’s the financial impact? Have the data before CMS or your members do.

2.Revisit your value prop.

If your plan’s appeal is “broad access,” make sure that story still holds. If networks are tightening, build new differentiators around coordination, virtual access, or quality.

3.Get plan and benefit data off of spreadsheets.

Don’t let actuarial, operations, and contracting run in silos. Cost-sharing, prior auth and benefit grids all need to tell one coherent story. A single source of plan and benefit truth matters. (We have a fast forward button for you at HighRoads)

4.Plan for disruption before it hits.

When a marquee provider exits, you need a playbook — member segmentation, outreach scripts, and clear transition options. Confusion costs renewals.

5.Modernize your operations.

If your admin, plan and benefit and filing stack can’t flex fast, you’re exposed.

Mayo didn’t change. The economics of Medicare Advantage did. The plans that win next year will be the ones that adapt early — aligning product, ops, and provider strategy before the next bellwether hits.

No letdown Hoosiers. Get it done and we are #2 in the nation likely with some votes for the top spot.

We are a football school now.

@ryleyfitz I get what you are saying but the official scoring is a 8-6-2-unassisted ground out into a double play.

[Jeff Yaniga @Jeff_Yaniga]

Max Muncy grounds into a double play. 😂😂😂 Now I’ve seen it all. #NLCS
