    Says the guy who posts multiple times about how much he hates the CR and bitches about the negs he catches there for trolling. You clearly care.

    Don’t forget your anti-trans garbage.

    MIT has a monster endowment for a much smaller enrollment.

    Has the media peeped a word since the election that Trump will be oldest person ever to take the oath of office on January 20? They made a huge deal about it with Biden, but they’ve allowed it to be a complete non-issue with Trump.

    If you’re his type, shouldn’t you be in school right now?

    Another example of how dumb the electorate is. The rules passed by Pete’s DOT are wildly popular with consumers and address some of the biggest pain points in air travel that people have complained about. The CEOs know that the electorate is so dumb that they can openly crow about rolling back these consumer protections and go back to the good ole days of screwing customers and providing shareholder value.

    Did Gaetz event last one Scarramucci?

    I’m not familiar with the genre.

    Boy, you really backtracked on that one.

    And that’s fair. It was hyperbole on the margin side, but it’s not false that a single health insurance company has the largest profits of any company in the healthcare space. I’m never going to see eye to eye with you on insurance companies. I’ve spent 25+ years battling them and have never dealt with one that worked in good faith. There is a spectrum of super shitty to pretty shitty and, unfortunately the biggest one out there throws its weight around to make things super shitty for provider groups. Getting back to Oz, if he really wants to make a dent he will continue the Biden administration’s program of negotiating drug prices with pharma companies and extend the pricing to the all Americans. That would be a huge benefit.

    What did she wipe with?

    UHC had a margin double the 3% you show here and posted profits of $32 billion.

    Works for looch these days.

    Well, no shit, but drugs that cost in the millions of dollars per year impact a minuscule number of people in the healthcare system. Manage those all you want. UM has become way too far reaching and is a net added cost on the provider side of the house. And, forgive me, but fuck off with the gaslighting me for having a problem with the “big, bad insurance companies.” Big insurance maintains the largest profit margins of any segment in the system that far outweighs the benefits that they bring to the table.

    Hop onto an HMO for the giggles and let us know what you think about MA after the experience. I highly suggest Kaiser for the ultimate experience.

    Forgive me for not having a hard on for Oz and the prospect of deeply flawed public policy that funnels money to gigantic health insurance companies instead of to patient care. United is plenty big and powerful already.
  17. royiv
    Well, shit, didn’t know that. Sorry for your loss.

    Do you have any clue how much extra expense providers have to add to their practices for P4P? It’s not the concept, it’s the fact that the profits are unquestionably tilted toward the insurance company. The incentives are not aligned in the least.
  19. royiv
    And people are telling you that MA is a highly flawed system that funnels money away from patient care and into the coffers of gigantic insurance companies.

    Ever been covered by an HMO?

    He let his dog shit in her yard and he didn’t pick it up. She’s trying to poison him.

    Absolutely. Stick with traditional Medicare with a Medicare supplement.

    This is enraging, but I guess I can’t disagree with this quote given the results of the election:

    When my parents first enrolled on Medicare, I made sure that they didn’t take the bait on the Medicare Advantage plans. They have been able to see all the physicians that they’ve been established with for years and no friction in getting the care they need. My in-laws, on the other hand, are stubborn and don’t listen to my advice and are on a Medicare Advantage plan. The difference is a night and day experience compared to my parent’s experience. They are constantly shuffled around seeing different physicians that they have zero history with. They are just a number and their care has suffered as a result. It’s laughable that anyone thinks that putting organizations like United in charge of the care for seniors is a good idea. It’s just more corporate grift.

    There’s that one skank in each of South Dakota and Alaska skewing (screwing?) the numbers with all the oilfield workers.
