June 27, 2020 at 2:39 pm ET Over the years, we chronicled the (mis)doings of the MVNHS© and CanuckCare. Some critics have asked why we don't focus as well on more...ahem..."successful" national health care systems, such as Sweden's. Aside from the fact that America is more culturally akin to Great Britain and Our Neighbors to the ... (more) Risk Management and Floods (6 clicks)

June 27, 2020 at 10:32 am ET The good people of Minot, ND may be forgiven for allowing their flood insurance policies to lapse: "When the federal government lifted a requirement a decade ago that low-lying valley homes have flood insurance, most residents stopped buying it."

From InsureBlog - view blog entries - visit this blog
June 23, 2020 at 6:24 pm ET It's important to remember that, when we "passed the bill to read what's in it," we were told that some 4 million people would be jumping into the state-run ObamaPools©. Would that it were so. Talk about underselling: "Barely a dozen Mainers have signed up for an ... (more) DTC explained

June 23, 2020 at 12:39 pm ET Direct to Consumer (DTC) advertising has been a pharma staple for quite some time. We've all seen them; heck, most of us could probably parrot back key points ("for more than 4 hours," "nausea, dizziness, constipation," "if you're pregnant or may become pregnant," the list goes on).

June 22, 2020 at 1:49 pm ET So, Jennifer Arnold of Avalere Health ("a leading advisory company focused on healthcare business strategy and public policy") tips us to their recent study which claims that, contrary to all actual evidence, ObamaCare© won't disrupt the commercial insurance market. Or, as Avalere so quaintly terms it, "Employer Sponsored Insurance (ESI)." more) Stealing Health Care

From InsureBlog - view blog entries - visit this blog
June 21, 2020 at 8:04 pm ET The folks in Washington that crafted Obamacare never bothered to read the bill before making it law. Nor did the ask OMB to score all the associated costs of the law. So now, almost a year and a half later, they are just now discovering a "glitch" in the Affordable Care ... (more) It's all in the Genes

June 21, 2020 at 3:25 pm ET Cancer treatment continues to be an expensive and difficult proposition.

June 21, 2020 at 9:06 am ET I gotta ask, just who is Ezra Klein and why should anyone care? More importantly, how does this guy manage to keep his job when he is so far off base that he should be tossed out of the game just on principle. On the Obamacrap waivers he offers ...

From InsureBlog - view blog entries - visit this blog
June 20, 2020 at 11:42 am ET I've always subscribed to the conventional wisdom that emptying a full bladder as soon as (practically) possible was always the "way to go." But new research seems to pour cold water on this idea: "New research shows that seemingly trivial things, such as the fullness or otherwise of ... (more) MVNHS©: Into the Breach (5 clicks)
