Tuesday Links

Posted on September 27, 2022September 26, 2022 by John C. Goodman

Sen Ron Wyden: Health insurers are running so-called ghost networks, in which providers are listed in networks but don’t actually offer care. Why is he surprised?

New CMS rule would make it easier for ineligible people to continue receiving benefits and reduce safeguards to prevent waste, fraud, and abuse. 

Nonprofit hospital chain sucks out profits, while leaving a poor, minority community without essential services.

Study: More than 80% of people sampled in Greece report witnessing informal (off the books) payments for health care and the number is also high elsewhere in Europe. (Health Affairs, gated) Unfortunately the authors call rationing by price “corruption,” whereas rationing by waiting is apparently a civic duty.

    New CMS rule will make Centene stock shoot to the moon. As long as Biden is President buy Centene stock. Centene was the best stock in the S & P 500 in 2018 and they are the Nation’s largest Medicaid company. The Biden crime family must have all of their money in Centene stock to have them now enroll people on employer-based insurance so Centene doesn’t have to pay any claims. The Biden crime family is smart!

For many years, our health care blog was the only free enterprise health policy blog on the internet. Then, when the NCPA closed its doors, the health blog stopped as well.

During this five-year hiatus no one else has come forward to claim the space. So, my colleagues and I have decided to restart the blog in connection with the Goodman Institute. We invite you and others to use this forum to share your views.

John C. Goodman,
