c #PHYchat #ACOchat #CMIOchat #publichealth. There is little to no evidence that legacy @AHIPCoverage financing & delivery models (many ASO) extended into majority of #BUCAH (@BCBSAssociation @UHC @Cigna @AnthemBCBS & @Humana) networks can NOT manage clinical risk effectively.
Breaking News: Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez transferred $1 million to Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, a progressive running for Senate in Michigan. The transfer represents a huge sum for a House member to give to a Senate race, especially one in a different state. nyti.ms/4zzoswn
Too much claimed 'innovation' in space at least on hospital and physician consolidation value 'upside'. Under the hood moving that needle is proving to be a much bigger transformational challenge. This #PHYchat #ACOchat #CMIOchat #publichealth Listen: youtu.be/mhIc1tSdgj8
A lot of folks don't, Mark! UnitedHealth Group holds a controlling stake in RVO Health, which operates popular health info sites like Healthline and Healthgrades.
I didn't know UnitedHealth controlled those sites until we published the Sunlight Report. UnitedHealth has so much influence over the health information millions of Americans rely on. Surely nothing to see here.

Many thanks @BloombergTV @business for hosting me this Sat AM as I detail the story of Yersinia pestis and two forms of plague, why the steppes of Central Asia is a plague hotspot and even the origin of the Black Death in the fourteenth century, why there’s a long established Russian institute located in Irkutsk and what we know and don’t know about the recent pneumonia death

Former Special Counsel Jack Smith: I will not be silenced by threats of prosecution from the President. The rule of law will endure. Public servants have remained faithful to their oaths despite extraordinary pressure. While fear may be contagious, courage is as well.

Yesterday I saw a man who gave me hope.
A man with a spine. With courage. With loyalty to the Constitution. With professionalism, intelligence, integrity, & an almost old-fashioned respect for facts & the rule of law.
A man who said, "I will not be silenced."
Thank you sir.

Why is @HawleyMO such a DB? A poser. Arrogant. Uninformed. Wrong. #FlipTheHouse #FlipTheSenate to restore constitutional governance. These Beltway bandits serve only themselves.
Registration closed. Follow for future @NationalNurses events. @PalantirTech @peterthiel must be stopped. Much like @therealDeFlock movement to hold #ALPR techno surveillance operator @Flock accountable. #PHYchat #ACOchat #CMIOchat #PublicHealth

With the threat of political violence at unprecedented levels, state and federal GOP candidates are openly sharing racist, pro-militia, anti-vaccine, sexist, antisemitic, and secessionist views.

"ICE IS PALANTIR" - @RepAOC tells @MPUniversityUS Students vs Billionaires Town Hall
🦔The Blue Cross Blue Shield Association says insurers paid out nearly $1 billion more than usual from AI-assisted hospital documentation in 2024-2025. Hospitals use AI to scan records and find secondary diagnoses that human reviewers missed. More diagnoses means higher reimbursements. But treatment levels haven't gone up.
BCBSA's SVP of data science said AI is "identifying more billable conditions, not sicker patients." Insurers now deploy their own AI to deny those same claims. Patients pay for both through higher premiums.
My Take
This might be the most American healthcare story I've ever read. Hospitals bought AI to find more things to bill for. Insurers bought AI to deny those bills. The technology cost money on each end and the tab went straight to patients through higher premiums. A billion dollars moved and no one got any healthier. The only thing that changed was the size of the invoices.
Two sides of a trillion-dollar industry found a new tool to fight over the same pool of money and the person in the hospital bed pays for all of it. Premiums go up, denials go up, and the AI vendors collect from everyone. If you want to know who AI works for, stop reading the press releases and look at where the money goes. In healthcare it went straight into the billing department.
