Haha that’s definitely not true

Caamp will be opening for Zach Bryan. Should be a great show

The providers in the USA will, largely, not be employed by the government. That is what would be impossible. Only after the entire system burned down could the government buy out all of medicine in the USA.

Comparing NHS salaries to the USA is pointless unless you are attempting to tell me why healthcare costs considerably less everywhere else in the world.

Healthcare in the USA has two options to affordability:
1. Single payor healthcare that can control prices
2. Detaching insurance from employment and removing all subsidies for non-government healthcare.

Everyone needs more skin in the game and insurance premiums and prices for healthcare are only as high as they are because the average consumer is not cognizant of the price.

Last year was a great time. Parking is easy. The venue is nice. Not overly crowded.

Only downsides is it can be a little hot outside depending on the weather and it can get pretty dusty in the horse pavilion.

You’re still wrong.

I’d be shocked if many, really if more than a handful, of jobs will be lost. People will move back into the class room. TOTAL SPENDING will not decrease.

For Camellias, I would make the trip to Mizells in the Folsom area. They are a Camellia nursery with ~100 varieties in all sizes. Really amazing place.

In south Louisiana, they should be freshly planted around 2nd week of January. They should be stored in the refrigerator prior to that for 8-12 weeks to simulate snow on the ground in colder climates.

I agree. There seems to be a misconception of what is happening here.

I work adjacent to this space and am pretty familiar with how it works.

Essentially, cms pays Medicare advantage plans based on how sick their patients are (how many chronic conditions etc) and rates them on their ability to care for those patients to determine how much they should be paid. Many patients never go to the doctor or went just before a time period and therefore have diagnoses that are not accounted for in claims.

Plans can send nurses to Dr offices “chart chasing” to find icd codes that didn’t make it onto claims or they can send nurses to those members houses to determine whether they are sicker then what the claims suggest.

There is a lot of opportunity for nefariousness.

This is how LWHA in Baton Rouge does it.

OB care is usually billed with a globalized billing model meaning all of the pre and post natal care is covered under the same cpt code for delivering the baby. That’s how they know how much it is going to cost.
