We are 1-1 inches quad 1 games so let’s pump the breaks on the enthusiasm until we play a few more teams with a pulse.
re: Snap Shot Of Our Healthcare System Rx Related.
Posted by CaptainJ47 on 12/12/25 at 7:49 pm to The Torch
I am in healthcare. PBMs are the only thing keeping some of the conglomerates alive. UHC has a 90% medical cost ratio. Optum is Optum Health (YTD margin is 1%), Optum Insight (consulting/tech arm not growing), and Optum Rx (20% growth and very profitable).
Their only way to steer utilization and then revenue maximization are the PBMs. There they can deny you or mark up the drugs significantly higher than your local pharmacy.

re: Tell me about going to New Zealand

Delta One from LAX-AKL is the way to go. Slept great.
We only did north island but absolutely loved it. We felt like we saw a lot. I wish I was there longer (we did 6 nights). I can’t imagine seeing both islands in that short of time.
Is there anything in particular that draws you to NZ? I loved it.

Love to hear it. Make sure south of the Lake Chapel is in good shape.

What is it looking like over in Lake Martin? How is that corner of the parish holding up?

re: 6:30 Flight Out of MSY in the morning
Posted by CaptainJ47 on 11/26/25 at 8:33 pm to GooDat
I arrive 1 hour before my flight and have clear + pre-check. I always park in short term. Right now parking is pretty full so increases risk. I would check flymsy.com and determine where you are parking. If going to economy or want to play it safe arrive 5a. If short term is reserved show up between 515-530am.
If it matters I travel weekly and showing up an hour before gives me enough time to grab something quick out of the skyclub.

re: WWTOTD? Rodents in the AirBnB
Posted by CaptainJ47 on 11/23/25 at 11:43 am to JonTheTigerFan
As an AirBnB owner here would be my ask:
1) Contact me- let me know the issue
2) Allow me to work something out after assessing the situation.
3) If you are there multiple days then I would ask for your patience to see if there are more and/or either I would bring a trap or ask if you go to the store let me reimburse you.
4) If it continues or becomes worse then ask me again for options to make it right. Just because it happened once doesn’t mean the owner is shitty.
The core of this is communicate with the owner to find a mutually beneficial solve. Recently I had an issue at ours and I offered to pay for a hotel for them for the evening. They passed. Service recovery is huge for me because one bad review can hurt so we offered to do some things above and beyond.

While logical, the problem is when you cut supplies to drugs off for addicts they do crazy shite. We have to get people off of drugs or changing the supply won’t have the impact expected. We have a crisis because of the removal of oxy from the ecosystem. All users will do is switch to the next drug/fix.

My daughter lives there, didn’t vote for the scum, and I would pray someone would jump in.

Crud just seeing this. I should have checked to see if you have/need skyclub access. Darn it my bad.

Actually the early flights out of MSY to ATL today were cancelled because the jets didn’t get there last night.

Yesterday PM was a total mess. I can’t get out any earlier today. I will likely be in ATL at the same time you are. Not overly excited.

Stock popping a bit on earnings. Revenue at United healthcare up 16% while growth of customers is up 1.6%. Basically premiums are up 14%. OptumRX showed the only signs of growth on the Optum side of the house.
All of this points to continued higher prices for the consumer. Because we have to have insurance the insurers continue to increase prices.
May as well use profits here to offset my premium increase for health insurance effective 1/1/2026.

re: Any thoughts about Mamdani from someone registered to vote in NYC?

Thanks for the local insight. Our pastor's son had the same dilemma: NYC was best professional choice; moved his family to red state for half the money, but much better culture.
Yeah she trains in dance in the city and is close to becoming a Radio City Rockette. I mean the Sorrento Stompers or the Kenner Kickers probably wouldn’t be a decent profession.
She does hang out in more affluent circles and is a bit insulated from things. Anxious to see what comes after the election.

My daughter lives in Hell’s Kitchen NYC. She is a conservative in a VERY liberal field (professional dancing). Her thoughts are that it doesn’t matter what anyone tries to do up there the liberals have it locked down. She is frustrated because she has no other options for her career. We have discussed what I imagine will be a decrease in real estate prices as the wealthy leave the city.
She would like to see more of a police presence. Where she lives she doesn’t see some of the immigration issues that make the nightly Fox News.

I had high hopes for him. It hasn’t worked out.
