Hi all, We’re still here at OPM. We have a situation where we MIGHT, and I do mean, MIGHT have four of Elon’s people blocked from the building. Can we get press or a member of Congress down here? We’ve blocked them for two hours and they keep coming back and trying to go in.

Here's exactly how an ethical health insurance exec would behave. To be clear: Assassination is not an appropriate response. But also to be clear: Everything these guys throw at us about wanting to help patients is absolutely 100% horse hockey. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/18/o...

The first polio outbreak in the US occurred in the Otter Creek Valley of Vermont in 1894. Dr. Charles Caverly wrote up 132 cases, and noted an overall mortality of 14%. Many deaths were due to encephalitis, a now-forgotten feature of this once-dreaded disease 🧵 #IDSky

Health care accounts for more than 17 per cent of the U.S. economy, or around $4.5 trillion dollars, but the revenues of just two companies—CVS/Aetna and UnitedHealth—account for nearly one in every seven dollars the nation spends on health care.
