This is very wonky and technical, but the end result is important. If this became law, it would force MedPAC to produce a report that makes Medicare Advantage look *way* better. It would nuke independent research and make it more likely for insurers to keep their MA gravy train.

Paul Ginsburg, a health economist at USC and a former MedPAC commissioner, said the bill “is the most extreme example that I am aware of in which a stakeholder has worked to undermine MedPAC’s independence.”

I just can’t believe this is what they want for their sport. They hired a bunch of influencers but can’t put the big games on at any sort of normal time? It’s so crazy.

Also it’s the performance of the Agency title song that’s the issue. If they would have paid for the original there wouldn’t be a problem. Apple at least paid for Jagger.

Honestly, I have the same reaction! (And I’m knocking on wood as I type this.) But I think it’s good that we’re not taking a clean injury report for granted. 🙂

Every time you post one of these it’s a shock. As a long time Wizards/Mystics fan I feel like I’ll never get used to a basketball team having a clean injury report.

This is a hilarious story. “She was friends with some people and not others.” That is either completely true or “not true at all.” The entire story may be an SNL bit.

What she is pretty clearly saying is that if you don’t buy groceries all the time your kids will whine about “not having enough food in the house.” And yes, they will ask for money to eat with their friends. This is very normal in families that can afford to eat whatever they want!
