Katie Price has revealed that she's received 'devastating news' as she shared a cryptic post about 'family' on Wednesday night. [TheTopNews] Read More.15 mins ago - Health Care Trade Groups Leaning Right
Does the medical industrial complex endorse health care’s status quo? Do its major players think a divided and therefore paralyzed Congress will prevent the multiple crises that will hit in full force early next year? Judging by their campaign contributions during the run-up to the mid-term elections, which are now less than two weeks away, the answers are yes and yes. Every major sector of the industry has reasons to be upset by the actions taken by the Trump regime and the Republican-run Congress over the past 20 months. Hospitals’ and physician practices’ uncompensated care costs are surging as millions of people lose health insurance due to Medicaid’s new work rules and the GOP’s failure to renew Covid-era Obamacare subsidies. Things are about to get a lot worse. The biggest hits begin next year when the full Medicaid cuts kick in, and millions more people lose coverage. The sector’s workforce is being hammered by the regime’s anti-immigration policies. An estimated 17 percent of all health care workers are immigrants, with the highest concentrations in critical areas like home health, nursing homes, and hospital support staffs. Out-of-control ICE raids are not just chasing valued workers away; ICE agents’ well-publicized violence has sharply curtailed the overseas pipeline for new recruits. Physician autonomy is under full-scale assault. The nation’s doctors are suffering from unprecedented levels of burnout and frustration, exacerbated by the insurance industry’s escalating use of prior authorization. Their professional status faces an existential threat from artificial intelligence. This year’s Medicare pay increase lagged behind inflation despite a one-time bump of 2.5 percent, which goes away next year. Let’s move on to the two areas where, rhetorically at least, there is bipartisan support for curtailing profit-seeking overreach. Government-funded research—the pharmaceutical industry’s seed corn—has been slashed. Innovation has taken flight on an easterly wind to China. On drug pricing, while the Trump regime hasn’t done anything more than what was required under the price negotiations passed during the Biden years, it backs international reference pricing, which would sharply lower Big Pharma’s revenue. Even the insurance industry—whose biggest fan, Dr. Mehmet Oz, now sits atop the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services—is facing tough times. The government gave Medicare Advantage plans just a 5 percent bump for 2027, which was several percentage points below medical inflation. While they are being overpaid to the tune of about $80 billion a year and deserve cuts,… [TheTopNews] Read More.15 mins ago - David Beckham shares a hug and a high five with boy, 5, who has Down syndrome in...The former footballer, 51, was at Miami Freedom Park on Wednesday to watch his team, Inter Miami, play against Cincinnati.
