Send us a text if you want to be on the Podcast & explain why!Most personal trainers struggle to break $40-60K per year.Less than 1% of personal trainers clear 200k. So how did Coach Joe?Listen to how many personal training seminars he has gone to. Not once did he metion nasm, ace, issa or any textbook certification.So what does it actually take to make $200,000 as a personal trainer?In this episode, we follow Coach Joe Sully (IG: @Coach_Joe_Sully) through a real day in the life of a 6-figure trainer to see exactly how elite coaches operate.From assessments… To programming on the fly… To working with clients who are in pain… To building a network with DPTs and RDs… To confidently charging $100-$150+ per session…There is a massive difference between trainers who read a textbook and pass a multiple choice exam (NASM ACE ISSA)… and trainers who build a real career.Joe breaks down: • His daily schedule • How he assesses new clients • Why networking is everything • How he handles clients with shoulder, low back and knee discomfort • The systems he uses to retain clients • And what separates $25/session trainers from $200K/year coachesIf 90% of trainers quit within the first 12 months, maybe it's time we stop telling people to “just get certified” and instead focus on hands on learning, movement competency and building a professional team.This is what we teach inside the SUF-CPT & SUF-STM at Show Up Fitness in partnership with Life Time Fitness.Want to: • Become confident around clients in pain • Charge 25-50% more per hour • Partner with physical therapists • And build a sustainable career in personal trainingYou have to SHOW UP.Learn more about our seminars and certifications: [Insert Website]Follow Joe: IG: @Coach_Joe_Sully#PersonalTraining #DayInTheLife #SixFigureTrainer #NASM #ShowUpFitness #CPT #LifeTimeFitnessWant to become a SUCCESSFUL personal trainer?

February 20, 2026 In this episode, Scott, Mark, and Dr. Ray Painter break down the financial realities of the new prostate biopsy CPT codes and what they mean for urology practices. Moving beyond coding mechanics, the discussion focuses on the economic differences between transrectal and transperineal approaches, MRI fusion versus ultrasound guidance, targeted lesion add-on payments, and the site-of-service differential between office and facility settings. They explore how practice expense values, capital equipment costs, disposable supplies, physician time, and block scheduling all factor into the decision to bring advanced biopsy techniques in-house. The episode emphasizes balancing clinical judgment with financial sustainability—helping practices evaluate whether expanding in-office prostate biopsy services makes sense now and in the future.

Recovery tools used in physical therapy, chiropractic care, and sports rehabilitation are undergoing rapid transformation as wearable technologies become more capable and more accessible. Hydrawav3 introduces a system designed to support measurable mobility improvements within minutes, offering a hands‑off recovery option for practitioners and a future consumer pathway for personal use.The device is described as a wellness tool built for pre‑recovery and post‑recovery scenarios, particularly when traditional physical manipulation is too painful or not yet possible. By focusing on polarity, thermal therapy, and light‑based stimulation, the system aims to relax or activate muscles depending on the user's needs. This approach supports athletes, patients recovering from injuries, and individuals seeking faster mobility gains.Understanding Polarity and Multi‑Modal StimulationA central concept behind Hydrawav3 is the body's natural polarity. Sivakumar Palaniswamy, Founder and CEO, explains that a healthy body typically maintains warmer feet and a cooler head, while illness or inflammation can reverse this pattern. By interacting with these polarity shifts, the device is designed to reset muscles, reduce inflammatory responses, and support relaxation or activation.The system includes two primary components: a motherboard and wearable polar pads. These pads can be placed on various parts of the body using belts, allowing targeted support for areas such as the back, neck, hands, or legs. The pads incorporate multiple technologies, including mild cryotherapy, heat therapy, red and blue light, vibro‑mechanical stimulation, and crystal‑based programming.The pads are fanless, battery‑powered, and capable of producing cold within seconds, making them suitable for traveling nurses, mobile practitioners, and sports therapists. The device cycles through different modes to influence the parasympathetic nervous system, supporting relaxation, improved circulation, and reduced stiffness.Practical Applications for Therapy and SportsHydrawav3 is positioned as a tool that can be used before physical therapy sessions to loosen muscles and reduce discomfort, allowing practitioners to work more effectively. For individuals recovering from injuries, surgeries, or immobilization, the device offers a non‑invasive way to prepare the body for treatment.Athletes and sports rehabilitation centers are identified as early adopters, particularly those seeking rapid recovery between training sessions or during competition. The promise of measurable mobility within minutes aligns with the needs of high‑performance environments where downtime must be minimized.The professional version of the device is priced at $2,295 and includes an intelligent app that analyzes pain points and identifies potential root causes. A consumer edition is planned for release within two quarters, with pricing expected to fall within a few hundred dollars to support broader accessibility.Technology, Accessibility, and Insurance PathwaysPalaniswamy notes that insurance pathways may be available through CPT codes used by physical therapists and chiropractors. While the device is categorized as a wellness tool, practitioners may be able to administer sessions under existing mobility‑related codes.Hydrawav3 is developed and assembled in Arizona, with all R&D and production based in the United States. The company's direct‑to‑practitioner model supports immediate deployment, while the upcoming consumer edition aims to expand access to individuals seeking at‑home recovery tools.ConclusionHydrawav3 introduces a wearable recovery system designed to support faster mobility, reduced inflammation, and improved therapeutic outcomes. Through polarity‑based stimulation, thermal therapy, and multi‑modal light and vibration technologies, the device offers a hands‑off approach suitable for physical therapists, chiropractors, sports rehabilitation centers, and future consumer users. As recovery tools continue to evolve, this system reflects a shift toward more accessible, technology‑driven wellness solutions.Interview by Scott Ertz of PLUGHITZ Live.Sponsored by: Get $5 to protect your credit card information online with Privacy.

Nationally recognized psychiatrist, internist, and addiction medicine specialist Muhamad Aly Rifai discusses his article "Why CPT coding ambiguity harms doctors." Muhamad analyzes the landmark case of United States v. Ron Elfenbein, where a federal judge acquitted a physician of fraud charges because the underlying CPT rules were "unquestionably ambiguous." He explains the 2021 changes to Evaluation and Management (E/M) codes and how prosecutors attempted to criminalize reasonable clinical judgment during the COVID-19 pandemic. The conversation explores the damaging practice of insurance downcoding, where payers automatically reduce reimbursements without reviewing charts, effectively stealing physician labor. Muhamad outlines urgent policy reforms needed to distinguish between actual fraud and coding disagreements to protect the integrity of medical practice.

Many EMRs now embed ICD‑10 and CPT codes directly into the medical record. But is that advisable? The safest approach is still to let the documentation stand on its own. The content of the record should support the coding choices, and coders and auditors should base their work on the medical facts as documented. Codes can—and should—be applied only after the documentation is complete. On today’s CodeCast episode, Terry explains that when providers insert billing codes into the note, the intention may be good, but the risk of contradictions or inaccuracies can outweigh any perceived benefit. Should medical record documentation stand alone, without templated teaching language that was never meant to be included? Should codes appear in the record simply to give the impression of accuracy, rather than allowing the documentation to speak for itself?

What if the simplest way to build strength, improve endurance, and sharpen your mind is already sitting in your closet as an old backpack? Rucking sounds almost too simple to matter. Add weight to a walk and head outside. Yet in this conversation, Dr. Andrew Fix and registered dietitian and RuckFit author Kayla Girgen make a compelling case that rucking may be one of the most practical tools for long-term health. It builds strength, supports bone density, elevates heart rate, and challenges posture without the joint stress that sidelines so many active adults. The deeper insight centers on sustainability. How often do we abandon fitness because we cannot execute the perfect plan? Kayla shares how rucking helped her move beyond all-or-nothing thinking and build consistency. Weight and distance can scale with your season of life. A stroller walk becomes training. A short neighborhood loop becomes meaningful work. When paired with thoughtful nutrition and simple lifestyle shifts like better sleep and stress awareness, the results compound. What changes when we stop chasing optimal conditions and start valuing repeatable effort? The conversation also explores metabolic health through continuous glucose monitoring and how nutrition choices, stress levels, and daily lifestyle patterns influence inflammation and energy. Awareness shapes behavior. Manageable discomfort builds resilience. Whether the load is physical or psychological, growth follows when we choose to engage.The takeaway is grounded and actionable. You do not need elite gear or ideal weather. You need a backpack, a little weight, and the willingness to step outside. Quotes “Spending more time in nature, getting outside, and out of my head really helped calm a lot of anxiety that I was feeling at that time.”(04:00 | Kayla Girgen) “You don't have to carry obscene amounts of weight to get the benefits of rucking.”(14:11 | Kayla Girgen) “This is where I love rucking because it can help bring something like walking and help it feel like, for lack of a better term, like it counts.” (18:28 | Kayla Girgen) “Most everybody has what you need at home. So when I first started, I grabbed an old backpack. I wrapped a 10 pound dumbbell in a towel and threw it in the interior pocket.” (24:46 | Kayla Girgen) “I think the number one mistake I see with rucking is just not doing it.”(58:05 | Kayla Girgen) Connect with Kayla Girgen: Check Out Kayla's Book Visit Kayla's Website Follow Kayla on Instagram Subscribe to Kayla's YouTube Follow Kayla on TikTok Follow Kayla on Facebook Connect with Kayla on LinkedIn KAYLA GIRGEN, RD, LD, CPT, is a registered dietitian, certified personal trainer, and founder of Sugar + Strength Academy—an online wellness community helping women balance blood sugar and build strength, one step at a time.

If willpower worked, you wouldn't still be frustrated.In the final episode of this 3-part Spring Break mini series, we're talking about the real reason fat loss feels hard after 40-and it's not because you lack discipline or motivation.This episode dives into the habits and support systems that quietly determine whether you follow through… or fall off again.Inside this episode, we cover:Why willpower isn't the solution-and what works insteadHow alcohol, hydration, and sleep impact fat loss more than most women realizeThe hidden cost of late-night scrolling and chronic exhaustionWhy accountability changes behavior when motivation fadesHow environment and support make consistency easierThis isn't about doing more.It's about setting yourself up to succeed.
Deux jours après la fin du mandat du Conseil présidentiel de transition, le Premier ministre Alix Didier Fils-Aimé est désormais le seul au pouvoir en Haïti. Les activités ont progressivement repris ce lundi matin (9 février 2026) en Haïti. Dans certaines communes, notamment à Pétion-Ville, des scènes à caractère pré-carnavalesque ont même été observées hier soir (8 février), avec des bandes de rara, des foules dans la rue, principalement des jeunes, qui dansaient et chantaient dans une atmosphère détendue. Mais ce n'est pas un signe d'adhésion ou de soulagement, plutôt un calme attentif, remarque notre correspondant à Port-au-Prince, Peterson Luxama. L'histoire récente invite à la prudence. Alix Didier Fils-Aimé bénéficie d'un appui clair de la communauté internationale, en particulier des États-Unis. Or, en Haïti, l'histoire montre que le soutien international, et américain surtout, répond souvent d'abord à des intérêts géopolitiques et stratégiques, qui ne coïncident pas toujours avec les attentes profondes de la population. S'il bénéficie du soutien de Washington, Alix Didier Fils-Aimé devra composer avec une classe politique très divisée. Sans son adhésion, il aura du mal à conduire le pays vers des élections. Et cette division s'est vue lors de la cérémonie de passation de pouvoir : certains membres du Conseil présidentiel de transition n'avaient pas fait le déplacement samedi. (7 février 2026) À lire aussiFin du CPT en Haïti: le Premier ministre, Alix Didier Fils-Aimé, prend les rênes de l'exécutif Des balles « made in USA » au Mexique Une enquête coordonnée par le Consortium international des journalistes d'investigation, et à laquelle ont participé le New York Times et Proceso, révèle comment une usine de l'armée états-unienne alimente la violence au Mexique. C'est celle de Lake City. Une usine exploitée par Olin Winchester et installée dans une base de l'armée dans le Missouri. Elle fabrique notamment des munitions de calibre 50, des balles capables d'abattre un hélicoptère ou de percer un blindage léger. Mais ces munitions ne sont pas seulement destinées à l'armée. Elles sont aussi vendues aux civils aux États-Unis. Pour quoi faire ? On ne sait pas trop. Toujours est-il qu'elles ont fini par se retrouver de l'autre côté de la frontière, au Mexique donc, où elles ont été utilisées dans près de cent affrontements, ces dernières années. Le New York Times indique que six cartels mexicains utilisent ces balles fabriquées dans l'usine de Lake City. Ces cartels, ce sont les mêmes que ceux que Donald Trump a classés organisations terroristes l'année dernière (2025). Toujours aux États-Unis, beaucoup restent très marqués par la mort, il y a un mois de Renee, tuée par la police de l'immigration à Minneapolis. Peu de temps après, l'ICE avait fait une deuxième victime dans cette même ville. Le scandale a largement dépassé les militants opposés à la politique migratoire extrêmement dure de Donald Trump. Même des figures du parti républicain le critiquent. C'est le cas de l'ancienne sénatrice Amy Koch, que notre correspondant à Washington Vincent Souriau a rencontrée. Elle est aujourd'hui lobbyiste et assure que beaucoup sont restés sidérés, notamment les élus qui travaillent au quotidien avec le gouverneur de cet État, le démocrate Tim Walz. À lire aussiÉtats-Unis: l'administration Trump sur la défensive après la mort d'Alex Pretti à Minneapolis Bad Bunny, une autre idée de l'Amérique Lui qui ne joue plus aux États-Unis, de peur que son public ne soit victime des raids de l'ICE, Bad Bunny s'est offert l'ultra prestigieuse mi-temps du Super Bowl hier soir (8 février). C'est mythique aux États-Unis. Toute la presse du continent en parle. « Bad Bunny au Super Bowl, une image de l'Amérique », titre ainsi Le Devoir au Canada. « Un show qui rappelle que l'Amérique est un continent, et pas seulement les États-Unis », note Pagina12 en Argentine. Pour La Razon, au Mexique, ce show n'était pas seulement de la musique ; c'était de la politique avec du rythme. Le quotidien y voit une ode au nationalisme, pas celui à la sauce Trump du « nous » contre « eux ». Mais « un nous qui ne demande pas la permission d'exister », écrit La Razon, sans pour autant tenter d'effacer l'autre. Même si le spectacle était relativement policé hier soir, Bad Bunny dénonce régulièrement la mainmise des États-Unis sur son île natale, les millions de touristes qui y déferlent chaque année et que les spéculateurs préfèrent aux natifs porto-ricains qui, eux, ont de plus en plus de mal à se loger.

Most clinic owners lose 40 to 60 percent of patients before they complete their care plans.

Que se passe-t-il derrière les murs des Établissements de la plaine de lʹOrbe, le plus grand complexe pénitentiaire de Suisse? Plus de 330 détenus y purgent des peines de longue durée, dans un univers fermé ou semi-fermé, régi par des règles strictes et des routines immuables. Mais derrière les barreaux, il y a des hommes, des parcours, des silences et des espoirs. Une réalité soustraite aux regards et rarement accessible aux médias. Comment les détenus qui purgent de longues peines ferme vivent-ils la détention au quotidien? Quelles réflexions mènent-ils sur leurs actes passés? Comment le personnel pénitentiaire envisage-t-il son accompagnement? Une immersion brute et sans fard au cœur de la prison, là où le temps semble suspendu. Production : Raphaële Bouchet Réalisation : Samuel Morier-Genoud Les invité-es sont : Julie de Dardel Professeure assistante, département de géographie UNIGE, spécialiste des prisons et des politiques pénales. & Prof. Hans Wolff Médecin-chef du service de médecine pénitentiaire HUG, ancien représentant de la Suisse au Comité européen pour la prévention de la torture (CPT) du Conseil de lʹEurope.
À la veille de la fin du mandat du Conseil présidentiel de transition, RFI vous propose une émission spéciale consacrée au bilan du CPT. Dans quelle situation se trouve Haïti aujourd'hui ? Que faut-il retenir de cet épisode politique qui aura duré 22 mois ? Mis en place en avril 2024 après la démission du Premier ministre Ariel Henry, le Conseil de transition devait rétablir la sécurité et préparer des élections « libres et transparentes » afin de choisir un successeur au président Jovenel Moïse, assassiné en 2021. Officiellement, des élections législatives et présidentielle sont annoncées pour le mois d'août. Mais leur tenue reste suspendue à la situation sécuritaire, alors que les gangs armés contrôlent désormais plus de 80% de la capitale, Port-au-Prince. Pour évoquer tous ces thèmes, Clotilde Dumay reçoit Antony Mémé, directeur de programme de l'ONG Combite pour la paix et le développement ; Romain Le Cour Grandmaison, directeur de l'Observatoire d'Haïti et des Caraïbes au sein de l'ONG Global initiative against transnational organized crime ; Peterson Luxama, le correspondant de RFI en Haïti et Justine Fontaine, envoyée spéciale à Port-au-Prince.

700 agents vont quitter l'État du Minnesota. Le « tsar de la frontière » Tom Homan a annoncé ce mercredi (4 février 2026) le retrait d'agents impliqués dans les opérations d'arrestation de migrants. Il en resterait quelque 2000 dans cet État. Tom Homan avait été envoyé à Minneapolis la semaine dernière pour prendre en main les opérations de la police de l'immigration dans cette ville, suite à la mort d'Alex Pretti, tué par des agents de la police aux frontières. Donald Trump a affirmé dans une interview au média NBC que la décision du retrait de ces agents était la sienne et que, tout en voulant rester « dur », il a dit qu'il fallait une approche « plus douce ». À Minneapolis, où la police de l'immigration mène d'intenses opérations depuis décembre, l'annonce du retrait de 700 agents de l'ICE est vue comme un pas dans la bonne direction, mais elle est très loin de satisfaire les habitants. Reportage du correspondant de RFI au Minnesota Edward Maille, qui s'est rendu à une manifestation devant le QG de l'ICE à Minneapolis. Le témoignage de Camilo Castro, détenu 5 mois au Venezuela Il a été séquestré, torturé, accusé d'espionnage… Après 5 mois de détention au Venezuela, le Français Camilo Castro a été libéré en novembre 2025. Originaire de Toulouse, dans le sud-ouest de la France, il vivait en Colombie depuis plusieurs années. En juin 2025, il a été arrêté à la frontière vénézuélo-colombienne où il se rendait, comme toujours, pour faire tamponner son visa. Sa famille n'aura plus de nouvelles de lui pendant trois semaines. Désormais libre, Camilo Castro revient sur ses conditions de détention auprès de Carlotta Morteo. L'interview complète ici. En Haïti, quel avenir pour ceux qui ont défendu le CPT ? Comme chaque jeudi, le rédacteur en chef du Nouvelliste décrypte l'actualité haïtienne. Dans l'édito du jour, et à l'approche de la fin du Conseil présidentiel de transition, il se demande ce qui va advenir de cette classe politique « qui n'est pas astreinte au résultat, qui ne s'occupe pas des préoccupations de la population, mais qui veut garder le pouvoir ». Le Nouvelliste suggère la mise en place d'un pacte pour la démocratie. Au Venezuela, la loi d'amnistie générale présentée à l'Assemblée nationale La loi d'amnistie est au programme de l'Assemblée nationale vénézuélienne ce jeudi 5 février 2026. Dans les colonnes du quotidien El Nacional, Jorge Rodriguez, le président chaviste du Parlement vénézuélien, l'assure : ce projet d'amnistie accélèrera le dialogue politique souhaité par le gouvernement de Delcy Rodriguez. Selon lui, les partis d'opposition ont été consultés, et l'objectif, c'est de créer un consensus pour que le projet de loi puisse être approuvé à l'unanimité. Mais les promesses du gouvernement de Delcy Rodriguez soulèvent déjà de nombreuses inquiétudes à Caracas et dans le reste du pays. Le média d'opposition Tal Cual rapporte l'appel d'une vingtaine d'associations vénézuéliennes de défense des droits de l'homme à intégrer les organisations internationales au processus d'amnistie, comme la Cour pénale internationale ou le Haut-Commissariat des Nations unies aux droits de l'homme. Ces associations rappellent que l'amnistie n'est ni l'oubli ni le pardon mais plutôt « un outil exceptionnel, inscrit dans les normes internationales et qui vise à la libération des personnes injustement persécutées ». Malgré tout, l'évocation de cette loi d'amnistie s'étend dans la région, comme le révèle l'édition américaine d'El País. Elle rapporte les propos de plusieurs militants cubains. Selon eux, « ce qui se passe au Venezuela montre que la pression internationale peut générer des changements concrets. Il est temps d'intensifier les revendications envers Cuba ». Cuba une nouvelle fois dans le noir La cinquième coupure d'approvisionnement généralisée sur l'île depuis 2024, rappelle le média argentin Infobae. Depuis hier soir (4 février 2026), Santiago, la deuxième ville du pays, est paralysée. Plus de 3 millions de Cubains sont touchés. Le gouvernement peine à faire repartir ses infrastructures énergétiques vétustes et le contexte international est de plus en plus défavorable. Le pays est confronté à de grosses pénuries de pétrole depuis la capture de Nicolás Maduro, allié de La Havane. L'agence de presse cubaine Prensa Latina rapporte d'ailleurs les inquiétudes concernant l'aide mexicaine, un des derniers soutiens de l'île. Washington a ordonné à Mexico de cesser de livrer du pétrole à Cuba. « Une situation humanitaire extrêmement préoccupante et qui risque de s'aggraver, voire de s'effondrer », selon le secrétaire général des Nations unies Antonio Guterres, « si les États-Unis continuent à accentuer la pression ». Les premiers effets de l'alliance entre Gustavo Petro et Donald Trump Après la première rencontre entre les présidents Donald Trump et Gustavo Petro cette semaine, une alliance a été actée entre Washington et Bogota. Et elle produit déjà des effets : le média colombien centriste El Espectador en liste quelques-uns : le bombardement par l'armée de Caracas de l'ELM, l'un des plus importants groupes armés de Colombie dans le Catatumbo, la région frontalière du Venezuela. Il a fait au moins sept morts. Autre effet de cette alliance avec Washington : la fin des pourparlers de paix annoncés par le Clan del Golfo, un cartel colombien impliqué dans la lutte armée. Tout cela montre, selon El Espectador, le changement de discours du président Gustavo Petro et le durcissement de sa stratégie de sécurité, lui qui a été élu sur la promesse de la paix totale. Une promesse remise en question par cette alliance avec Trump selon le quotidien El Tiempo, pour qui la normalisation des relations avec les États-Unis n'est visiblement pas compatible avec des pourparlers stables avec les groupes armés.

Le Costa Rica vote ce dimanche 1er février 2026 pour élire son futur président parmi les 20 candidats en lice. Laura Fernández est la favorite des sondages. La candidate populiste aux discours xénophobes met en avant le modèle sécuritaire du chef d'État salvadorien Nayib Bukele. Au Costa Rica, un pays historiquement tourné vers des idées progressistes, le basculement politique qui se dessine inquiète notamment aussi les communautés indigènes. L'une de leurs préoccupations : l'utilisation de la foi catholique et évangélique comme élément central des campagnes politiques. Sur ce point, la populiste Laura Fernandez ne déroge pas à la règle. « Elle ne peut pas venir et dire qu'elle veut imposer la religion dans les communautés indigènes, car il faut se rappeler que nous, peuples indigènes, avons aussi nos propres croyances », pointe Isalina, la cheffe de la communauté Huetar. Les droits humains menacés Dans la capitale, San José, les associations de défense des droits des femmes alertent. Il y a un mois, le gouvernement sortant a promulgué un décret restreignant l'avortement, qu'il entend maintenir si Laura Fernández remporte l'élection. « Une action illégale », dénonce Larissa Arroyo, avocate, auprès de notre correspondante Marie Griffon. « Il a tenté de contourner ce que prévoit le Code pénal par un décret. C'est pourquoi nous devons ne pas perdre de vue que ces atteintes aux droits des femmes et ces reculs s'inscrivent plus généralement dans des attaques contre l'État de droit, la démocratie et les institutions, prévient Larissa Arroyo. Ce qu'il faut bien comprendre, c'est que ces décisions toucheront avant tout des personnes déjà très vulnérables, en raison de la pauvreté, de leurs discriminations ou des violences qu'elles subissent déjà au quotidien, dans ce pays. » Parmi les personnes les plus vulnérables, figurent également les réfugiés latino-américains – nicaraguayens persécutés par le régime de Daniel Ortega, mais aussi salvadoriens et vénézuéliens. « Le Costa Rica est marqué par une politique xénophobe, qui a d'ailleurs été documentée par les Nations unies, signale Antonio Martínez, président de l'Association interculturelle des droits humains et lui-même réfugié nicaraguayen. Il s'agit d'un régime qui se fonde avant tout sur la notion de sécurité plutôt que sur l'inclusion ou l'accès aux droits. Un régime qui privilégie le contrôle et la surveillance. Il y a beaucoup de craintes bien entendu. Beaucoup de personnes réfugiées et migrantes disent que si Laura Fernández est élue, elles chercheront à migrer vers un autre pays. À solliciter l'asile ailleurs. » Une élection qui peut être marquée par une forte abstention. Il y a quatre ans, elle avait atteint 43%, l'un des niveaux les plus élevés de l'histoire du pays. Guerre technologique à Minneapolis Aux États-Unis, l'émissaire de Donald Trump à Minneapolis tente de faire retomber la tension. Lors d'une conférence de presse, jeudi 29 octobre 2025, Tom Homan a promis que le nombre d'agents déployés dans la capitale du Minnesota dans le cadre de l'opération anti-immigration Metro Surge allait bientôt baisser. Il a également assuré que l'ICE allait opérer de manière plus intelligente en se concentrant sur les prisons et les centres de détention, comme l'explique notre envoyé spécial à Minneapolis, Vincent Souriau. Cette campagne d'expulsion massive donne lieu à une guerre technologique entre les agents de l'ICE d'un côté, et celles et ceux qui s'opposent à leur opération. Une guerre dans laquelle l'ICE possède des armes de pointe, grâce à une loi passée l'été dernier (2025) qui en a fait l'agence fédérale la mieux financée du pays. Ces instruments, c'est le Washington Post qui les passe en revue. Mais face à la surveillance de masse, la riposte s'organise sur les réseaux sociaux et via les messageries cryptées. C'est Politico qui le raconte. Ces dernières semaines, relève le site d'information, les efforts pour suivre les déplacements des agents de l'ICE se sont intensifiés en ligne, notamment grâce à des sites permettant de signaler les endroits où sont menés les raids. Les autorités ont beau tenté de les bloquer, faire supprimer les sites ou les comptes litigieux, rien n'y fait : de nouveaux réapparaissent sans cesse. Même les cybercriminels - ceux qui rackettent habituellement les internautes avec des rançongiciels - se joignent à la bataille. En divulguant notamment les informations personnelles de centaines de membres de l'ICE et du département de la Sécurité intérieure. Cuba au bord du gouffre Pendant ce temps, Donald Trump resserre la vis avec Cuba. Le président états-unien a signé hier (30 janvier 2026) un décret qui qualifie le pays de « menace exceptionnelle » et qui annonce des droits de douane contre ceux qui lui fournissent du pétrole. « Cuba, la menace irrévérencieuse », réplique Granma. Pour la voix du régime, il s'agit en réalité pour l'administration Trump d'utiliser la pression comme un outil de déstabilisation. Cuba, qu'El Nacional décrit comme un « Gaza sans les bombardiers ». « Les principaux indicateurs qui mesurent la qualité de vie d'une société se sont érodés de manière alarmante, constate le journal vénézuélien. Les pannes de courant sont quotidiennes. Les transports en commun ne disposent ni d'essence ni de diesel pour se déplacer. La population a diminué et la pyramide des âges s'est inversée. » Mais pour El Nacional, le régime cubain ne peut s'en prendre qu'à lui-même. Nouveau rebondissement dans la crise politique en Haïti À huit jours de la fin annoncée du mandat du Conseil présidentiel de transition – c'est le 7 février – la crise politique en Haïti prend encore un nouveau tour. C'est à lire dans Le Nouvelliste. Après avoir signé une résolution pour remplacer le Premier ministre, certains conseillers présidentiels cherchent désormais à évincer le président du CPT, Laurent Saint-Cyr. Ils lui reprochent de s'être opposé à la publication de ladite résolution au journal officiel. Sur Alterpresse, le professeur en Sciences politiques Roromme Chantal voit dans cette crise un « coup d'État ». Un coup d'État, écrit-il, qui « ne vise pas à instaurer un nouvel ordre, mais à empêcher qu'un autre ordre ne voie le jour. Il ne produit pas un pouvoir fort, mais un pouvoir verrouillé, dépendant, constamment adossé à des soutiens extérieurs. »
En Haïti, la transition politique touche à sa fin puisqu'en théorie, le Conseil présidentiel provisoire doit quitter ses fonctions le 7 février 2026. Ses derniers jours de mandat qui auraient dû être « une apothéose », sont en réalité « une hécatombe », estime Frantz Duval, rédacteur en chef du Nouvelliste « Les membres du CPT voulaient faire mieux que leurs prédécesseurs. Mais tout s'est mal passé entre eux. Ils ne s'entendent plus depuis longtemps », analyse le journaliste. « Ils veulent rester au pouvoir. Ils essaient de changer les règles du jeu en cours de route. » Pèsent aussi sur eux des accusations de différentes natures, notamment de complicité avec les gangs. « Des accusations qui n'ont jamais eu de suites judiciaires. Mais cela a suffi leur donner mauvaise réputation », explique encore Frantz Duval. Cette semaine, Washington a sanctionné deux nouveaux membres du CPT ainsi qu'un ministre. Désormais, cinq des sept membres du Conseil présidentiel de transition sont interdits de séjour aux États-Unis, précise Le Nouvelliste. Hier, (28 janvier 2026) Marco Rubio a annoncé que son pays comptait « adopter une posture militaire » face aux gangs. « On ne sait pas ce que cela veut dire concrètement. Mais c'est un pas de plus dans l'implication des États-Unis dans la crise haïtienne », décrypte le journaliste. Enfin, le journal fait sa Une sur la directrice du collège Canapé-Vert, désemparée alors son établissement pourrait fermer. « Le terrain sur lequel est situé l'école, lui appartient à elle et à son mari. Mais on cherche à l'expulser », détaille Frantz Duval. Le Nouvelliste a choisi de reproduire la lettre qu'elle a adressée aux autorités et aux Haïtiens parce que « son cri a un sens. Ce n'est pas la seule tentative de spoliation à laquelle on assiste à Port-au-Prince et aux alentours » , justifie le rédacteur en chef. Des entreprises au service d'ICE Avant le retour de Donald Trump à la Maison Blanche, le budget de la police anti-immigration était de 10 milliards de dollars. Aujourd'hui, il est de 85 milliards de dollars. « Il y a donc à la clé de juteux contrats à remporter », explique Nathanaël Vittrant du service Économie de RFI qui détaille quelles sont les entreprises qui offrent leurs services à Ice : Palantir, Microsoft, Amazon ou bien encore le fleuron de la tech française, Cap Gemini. Comme l'a révélé l'Observatoire des multinationales, la compagnie a signé un contrat de 4,8 millions de dollars pour fournir un service de « skip tracing » : c'est de l'analyse des données dans le but explicite de traquer une personne, en l'occurrence ceux identifiés par ICE comme des individus expulsables. France 2 a poursuivi l'enquête et montré que ce contrat prévoit une clause de résultat : autrement dit, plus Cap Gemini contribuera à faire expulser des migrants, plus elle sera rémunérée, le montant pouvant monter jusqu'à 365 millions de dollars. Embarrassé le patron de Cap Gemini a déclaré que le conseil d'administration du groupe allait « examiner » ce contrat. Transition rugueuse au Chili Au Chili, le nouveau président José Antonio Kast prendra ses fonctions dans un peu plus d'un mois, le 11 mars. D'ici là, le pays connaît une période de transition entre deux gouvernements, transition marquée par quelques frictions. Dernière polémique en date relevée par La Tercera : le gouvernement sortant serait en train de nommer des fonctionnaires à tour de bras, et surtout à des postes-clé. C'est en tout cas ce qu'affirme le futur ministre de l'Intérieur, Claudio Alvarado. Lors d'une interview à la radio Bio-Bio, il a même accusé l'équipe de Gabriel Boric de « pistonner des gens » dans des ministères. Dans les colonnes de La Tercera, le président du Parti républicain, le parti de José Antonio Kast, rappelle ce qu'il considère être « la » règle de base « d'une transition adéquate », à savoir que les fonctionnaires occupant des postes stratégiques doivent démissionner pour laisser la place à la nouvelle administration. Une mise en garde inutile, rétorque l'équipe sortante. Une consigne « claire » a bien été donnée aux titulaires des postes-clé. Ils quitteront tous leurs fonctions le 11 mars, assure le camp de Gabriel Boric, comme le raconte El Mercurio. Le gouvernement actuel dénonce une polémique inutile autour d'un « soi-disant favoritisme qui n'existe pas dans les faits ». Quant aux nominations de fonctionnaires, il y en a bien mais au niveau des municipalités, et dans les secteurs de l'éducation et de la santé, affirme une ministre, selon La Tercera. Argentine : la Banque centrale au cœur d'un scandale de corruption Comme souvent dans ce pays, ce sont des enregistrements audio qui ont révélé le scandale. Des enregistrements publiés par les médias argentins. On y entend notamment deux hommes d'affaires raconter comment des fonctionnaires de la Banque centrale argentine les ont aidés à contourner le « cepo », ces restrictions imposées sur l'achat ou la vente de dollars sous la présidence du kirchneriste Alberto Fernandez. En 2022 et 2023, les deux hommes achetaient des dollars au taux officiel et les revendaient plus cher au marché noir, décrypte Ambito Financiero, dégageant ainsi des bénéfices considérables. Le journal El Dia rappelle que l'écart entre le taux officiel et le taux du blue pouvait atteindre les 200%. Sur ces enregistrements, « ils parlent de millions de dollars avec la même désinvolture que s'ils comptaient des bonbons », ironise La Nacion. Pour l'instant, cinq fonctionnaires qui sont toujours en poste, font l'objet d'investigations, précise le journal. « Mais la justice enquête désormais pour savoir si davantage de personnes sont impliquées et jusqu'où remontent les complicités ». La Banque centrale argentine a aussi ouvert une enquête en interne, ajoute Ambito Financiero. Au Mexique, des fonctionnaires vendaient de faux certificats de naissance L'affaire a éclaté après une alerte en provenance de Houston, au Texas, raconte le site cubain 14yMedio. Le Consul mexicain sur place s'est étonné de recevoir autant de personnes affirmant être mexicaines, produisant des certificats de naissance du pays tout en disant être nées à Cuba. « Les documents sont légaux en apparence », détaille le journal en ligne. « Ils figurent bien dans les bases de données du pays. » Mais en les observant bien, on peut remarquer des petits détails qui ne vont pas, explique 14yMedio. Ces migrants cubains ont payé jusqu'à 4.000 dollars pour obtenir ces faux papiers. À l'origine de ce juteux trafic : des fonctionnaires de l'État-civil de plusieurs villes du Chiapas, à la frontière avec le Guatemala, mais aussi des membres de la Commission mexicaine d'aides aux migrants et de l'Institut national des migrations, précise une ONG au site d'informations. « Tout cela n'est pas nouveau », décrypte Angeles Mariscal, journaliste basée au Chiapas, interrogée par 14yMedio. « Des autorités locales, provinciales et nationales fournissent des certificats de naissance, de résidence ou des permis de transit [aux migrants]. Tout est faux. C'est un grand business », explique-t-elle. Équateur : l'interminable lutte des victimes de Texaco-Chevron Notre dossier du jour nous emmène en Équateur où s'est produit un nouveau rebondissement dans une affaire de pollution qui date de plusieurs décennies. L'entreprise Chevron avait été condamnée pour avoir déversé des milliers de barils de résidus d'hydrocarbures dans le pays. Mais un tribunal des Pays-Bas en a décidé autrement et le groupe a finalement été exempté de toute responsabilité. Les juges sont même allés plus loin en imposant des indemnités à l'État équatorien pour les frais de justice. C'est donc un revers important pour les habitants des régions concernées qui se battent depuis très longtemps, comme nous l'explique Raphaël Moran du service Environnement de RFI. Le journal de la 1ère Un nouvel espace en ligne consacré à la pollution au chlordécone est disponible depuis hier, (28 janvier 2026) dans les Antilles françaises.

À l'approche de la fin de la transition, le 7 février 2026, Haïti fait face à un blocage politique. La semaine dernière, 5 des 7 membres du CPT ont voté la destitution du Premier ministre, Alix Didier Fils-Aimé. Mais depuis, « cette résolution est bloquée par le président du CPT qui refuse de la signer et de la publier au Journal officiel », explique Gotson Pierre, directeur de l'agence Alterpresse. Laurent Saint-Cyr s'est également affiché aux côtés d'Alix Didier Fils-Aimé et de la police, ce lundi 26 janvier 2026. « Ils ont notamment visité ensemble le grand quartier général des forces armées haïtiennes », souligne le journaliste d'Alterpresse. Le Premier ministre peut aussi compter sur l'appui des États-Unis qui continuent de maintenir la pression sur les autorités du pays. Le secrétaire d'État Marco Rubio a répété que son administration le soutenait. Altepresse revient, par ailleurs, sur l'incendie qui a dévasté le marché historique Cluny à Cap Haïtien, dans la nuit de samedi à dimanche dernier (25 janvier 2026). Les autorités ont promis de venir en aide aux sinistrés rapidement. « Beaucoup d'étals ont été détruits », raconte Gotson Pierre. « Une équipe gouvernementale s'est rendue dans le nord du pays pour évaluer les dégâts. » Nouvel épisode dans la guerre commerciale entre l'Équateur et la Colombie Lundi (26 janvier 2026), Quito a décidé d'augmenter de 900% la redevance que paye Bogota pour utiliser l'un de ses oléoducs. Désormais pour utiliser le SOTE, le système d'oléoduc transéquatorien, la Colombie devra payer 30 dollars par baril, contre 3 dollars jusqu'à présent. Plus de 10.000 barils de pétrole colombien emprutent, chaque jour, cet oléoduc pour faire le trajet qui va du sud de la Colombie jusqu'à la côte pacifique d'où ce pétrole est exporté précise El Tiempo. Pour El Espectador, c'est donc une « nouvelle escalade dans la dispute (...) commerciale et diplomatique » qui a éclaté la semaine dernière quand Daniel Noboa a décidé de taxer les importations colombiennes à 30%. Raison de la colère du président équatorien : la situation à la frontière entre les deux pays. Quito juge que Bogota n'en fait pas assez pour lutter contre les différents trafics illégaux, notamment le narcotrafic, explique le journal Vanguardia. La Colombie a riposté en augmentant, à son tour, les droits de douane sur une vingtaine de produits équatoriens et en suspendant les livraisons en électricité à son voisin, rappelle El Espectador. Une rencontre est prévue entre les autorités des deux pays, souligne Vanguardia, mais la Colombie et l'Équateur n'arrivent pas à se mettre d'accord sur une date. La production de pétrole argentin en hausse En décembre, le pays a produit 868 712 barils par jour. Un « record historique », souligne le journal Rio Negro, dû en grande partie au gisement de pétrole et de gaz de schiste de Vaca muerta. « Alors que l'activité économique - la production, la consommation et les exportations - enregistre un recul, le ministre de l'Économie (...) s'est réjoui cette semaine » de cet exploit pétrolier, « l'un des rares indicateurs positifs ». « Pour une fois que la Patagonie compte pour le gouvernement », ironise Rio Negro. Une allusion au fait que contrairement à son homologue chilien, Gabriel Boric, et au au futur président du pays voisin, José Antonio Kast, Javier Milei, lui, ne s'est pas rendu sur place alors que la Patagonie chilienne et argentine est en proie à de violents incendies depuis plusieurs jours. Le journal argentin décrypte cet intérêt soudain : si le gouvernement met en avant cette région, reçoit les gouverneurs de Rio Negro et de Neuquen, c'est parce que, écrit Rio Negro, il cherche des soutiens pour faire voter sa réforme du travail. Une délégation du Congrès étasunien à Ushuaïa Cette visite qui n'était pas prévue, provoque un scandale, explique Pagina 12 qui dénonce « l'opacité entourant les motifs » de ce voyage. Ces membres du Congrès, qui sont arrivés dimanche, n'avaient pas été invités par les autorités locales et n'ont d'ailleurs pas souhaité les rencontrer, raconte le quotidien. D'après l'ambassade américaine en Argentine, cette délégation d'élus républicains et démocrates a fait le déplacement jusqu'au bout du monde, à bord d'un avion de l'armée de l'air étasuienne, juste pour parler de la dégradation des milieux naturels, du traitement des métaux rares et de la recherche en santé publique. Pourquoi, alors, ont-ils navigué au large du port d'Ushuaïa, interroge le journal ? Pourquoi sont-ils allés observer le port placé sous tutelle administrative pour un an par Buenos Aires pour de supposées irrégularités de gestion ? Une sénatrice de la Terre de feu, la province où se situe Ushuaïa, a demandé des explications au gouvernement de Javier Milei. Cristina Lopez veut notamment savoir s'il compte laisser des puissances étrangères participer ou s'ingérer dans la gestion d'infrastructures stratégiques de la province, ou même les contrôler. Une question légitime, estime Pagina 12 qui affirme que les membres de cette délégation étaient, en réalité, là pour observer l'avancée de deux projets majeurs financés par la Chine : une usine de transformation de gaz naturel et une centrale thermoélectrique. Pagina 12 s'inquiète de possibles visées géostratégiques américaines sur l'Atlantique sud. Une hypothèse crédible, insiste le journal, alors que Javier Milei et Donald Trump sont de plus en plus proches, que ce dernier ne cesse de répéter qu'il veut annexer le Groenland et alors qu'Ushuaia est la porte d'entrée naturelle de l'Antarctique et un passage transocéanique. Les déplacés du Sinaloa survivent dans une décharge de Culiacan Depuis plus d'un an, l'État de Sinaloa dans le nord-ouest du Mexique, est secoué par des violences à cause d'une guerre entre cartels de la drogue. On déplore des milliers de morts, autant de disparus et des déplacés toujours plus nombreux. Beaucoup se sont installés en périphérie de la capitale de l'État, Culiacan, où ils vivent sans aucune aide du gouvernement, en travaillant comme recycleurs de déchets. C'est la seule source de revenus possibles. Reportage de Gwendolina Duval.

Le Conseil présidentiel de transition (CPT) tente à nouveau de renverser le gouvernement haïtien. Cette fois-ci, il pourrait réussir, explique Frantz Duval, rédacteur en chef du Nouvelliste. « Alors qu'hier (mercredi 21 janvier 2026), Alix Didier Fils-Aimé a échappé à une nouvelle tentative de révocation, il y a eu un revirement ce matin. Cinq des sept membres du CPT se prononcent désormais pour son départ », explique notre confrère. Moins de trois semaines avant la fin de leur mandat, les membres du CPT essayent de changer de Premier ministre et de gouvernement. « Vont-ils y arriver ou être stoppés par les fortes résistances et les mises en garde, notamment venues des États-Unis », s'interroge le rédacteur en chef du Nouvelliste. Mercredi (21 janvier 2026), l'ambassade étasunienne a publié « un communiqué très peu diplomatique pour dire que les membres du CPT n'ont pas été élus et qu'ils ne peuvent pas chasser le Premier ministre et déstabiliser le pays », estime Frantz Duval. En faisant cela, « les États-Unis affirment qu'ils ne reconnaîtront pas le nouveau gouvernement », décrypte le journaliste. Les abus d'ICE, la police de l'immigration étasunienne Le New York Times et le Washington Post révèlent aujourd'hui que Geraldo Lunas Campos, ce Cubain de 55 ans qui est mort dans une prison pour migrants d'El Paso aux Texas, le 3 janvier 2026, a été tué. C'est ce qu'indique le rapport d'autopsie auquel ont eu accès ces journaux. En cause : une compression de son cou et de son torse qui a provoqué son asphyxie. Si le médecin légiste parle bien d'un homicide, il ne se prononce, en revanche, pas sur une éventuelle culpabilité criminelle, précise le New York Times. « Il s'agit d'une classification des causes du décès, et non d'une décision juridique établissant la culpabilité », insiste le journal. Reste qu'on est bien loin de la version des agents pénitentiaires qui eux continuent de dire que Geraldo Lunas Campos s'est suicidé. ICE est également accusé d'avoir utilisé un enfant de 5 ans comme appât pour arrêter sa famille dans le Minnesota. Comme le raconte le Washington Post, Liam Conejo Ramos a été arrêté avec son père dans l'allée de leur maison, alors qu'ils rentraient de la maternelle. Les agents d'ICE lui ont alors demandé d'aller frapper à la porte pour voir s'il y avait d'autres personnes à l'intérieur. Indignation du rectorat qui a donné une conférence de presse hier. L'enfant et son père sont toujours aux mains d'ICE tout comme 3 autres élèves du même district scolaire. L'un d'entre eux âgé de 17 ans a été arrêté alors qu'il se rendait au lycée, sans que ses parents ne soient là. « Ces événements exacerbent les tensions entre les habitants et les agents de l'ICE, tensions déjà vives suite à la mort de Renée Good », conclut le Washington Post. Colombie : scandale autour d'un investissement du gouvernement Près de 2 milliards de pesos colombiens, soit près de 400.000 euros pour deux bateaux-ambulances livrés à un hôpital qui ne pourra pas s'en servir. C'est le quotidien El Tiempo qui révèle l'affaire. L'hôpital de Maicao, dans le nord du pays, à la frontière avec le Venezuela, se trouve en effet « en plein désert, sans mer, ni fleuve » naviguable à proximité. « Le port le plus proche se trouve à une heure et demie de route », explique le quotidien qui s'interroge sur « la pertinence, le coût et la plannification d'une décision qui semble déconnectée de la réalité territoriale ». D'autant que dans le département où se trouve Maicao, trois autres hôpitaux auraient pu faire usage de ces bateaux-ambulances, précise El Tiempo. Alors que le système de santé colombien est en pleine crise, avec des hôpitaux, des cliniques et des pharmacies qui attendent toujours de remboursements de la part de l'État, « on se demande qui et surtout comment sont prises les décisions » de dépenser de l'argent public, s'indigne El Tiempo. Un incident diplomatique évité de justesse grâce à un post-it Cela s'est passé hier (21 janvier 2026) à l'Assemblée nationale française. L'ambassadeur d'Argentine en France doit être auditionné par la commission des Affaires étrangères. Mais comme le raconte La Nacion, juste avant de commencer son intervention, Ian Sielecki se rend compte que derrière lui, se trouve une carte du monde sur laquelle les îles Malouines figurent comme faisant partie du Royaume-Uni. Il refuse, donc, de commencer son exposé. S'en suit un échange un peu tendu avec le président de la Commission des Affaires étrangères. Le jeune diplomate argentin de 34 ans reste « inflexible », précise le journal Clarin, invoque l'Ukraine. L'ambassadeur de ce pays n'accepterait pas de s'exprimer devant une carte montrant Louhansk ou la Crimée comme étant des territoires russes, dit-il. Ian Sielecki demande à ce que la carte soit recouverte. Finalement, une solution est trouvée : un post-it jaune est collé sur les Malouines. Un fromage brésilien inscrit au patrimoine mondial de l'Humanité Notre dossier du jour nous emmène au Brésil, dans la région du Minas Gerais, « mines générales » en français, ce qui en dit long sur la richesse du sous-sol.

Co-hosts Ryan Piansky, a graduate student and patient advocate living with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) and eosinophilic asthma, and Holly Knotowicz, a speech-language pathologist living with EoE who serves on APFED's Health Sciences Advisory Council, interview Beth Morgan, a medical billing advocate and consultant, on navigating your medical bills.

Key Takeaways: [:51] Co-host Ryan Piansky introduces this episode, brought to you thanks to the support of Education Partners GSK, Sanofi, Regeneron, and Takeda. Ryan introduces co-host Holly Knotowicz. [1:12] Holly introduces today's topic, Medical Billing, and today's guest, Beth Morgan, a medical billing advocate and consultant. [1:31] Beth says a medical billing consultant is an individual who assists someone with medical bills to make sure that they are accurate and correct, and that they match the medical records, which are notes that the provider makes. [1:48] The medical billing consultant or advocate can make sure the bills are paid correctly and that the charges are within the reasonable prices for the treatment area. [2:19] Beth explains how medical insurance covers healthcare costs. It protects the patients and providers from very high expenses. It can also possibly help with the stress of navigating healthcare systems. [2:36] The goals of medical insurance are to help cover patient costs for treatments, preventive care, and prescriptions. It can also provide resources for telehealth visits or support visits, if needed. [2:48] With a telehealth visit, you, the patient, have to make sure that your insurance plan covers and allows it. Sometimes, the cost of a telehealth visit can be more than if you were to go to the office. [3:27] Beth says most people look at what insurance will cost them per month. They fail to look at their yearly deductible, per person or per family, their prescription costs, or what it will cost to see a specialist. They don't consider what therapies will cost them. [4:08] Beth had a client whose insurance company would only cover in-state providers. If she went out of state, she wouldn't be covered; even an emergency might not be covered. You have to look at the "nitty-gritty" of the policy. [4:32] Beth says the biggest things are the deductible and copay, or co-insurance. Don't just look at the cost. Most people will take out the $10,000 or $5,000 deductible plans, saying it only costs $75 for the entire family. What does it actually cover? [5:00] You don't want sudden surprises when you get to the emergency room. You want to know what your copay will be when you go into an emergency room. [5:11] Holly agrees with Beth and notes that Real Talk listeners have chronic illness. Some have multiple illnesses. When you're selecting insurance plans, those are the things you have to look into. [5:27] Patients with EoE often need endoscopies and other specialized procedures. Holly asks for tips on how someone can know what an endoscopy or other procedure will potentially cost. [5:41] Beth says to ask the doctor what the CPT code is. That's the code that describes the treatment. Then look up that CPT code on the insurance company website. They will show an estimated cost for that treatment, for a rough idea of the cost. [6:10] Keep in mind that it will not tell you what the providers will charge or what the hospital fee will be. [6:21] Holly says she has EoE and MS. She asks a social worker for the CPT code for every procedure so she has a record to double-check when the bill comes. The CPT code is the key. [6:50] Holly is a speech pathologist who does feeding therapy. She says to look at your plan to see if therapy is a copay or if it goes toward your deductible. If it goes toward your deductible, it will be very expensive until you meet that deductible. [7:10] People living with an eosinophilic disorder may find themselves in the ER for a variety of reasons. Holly was there this week with a food impaction. For others, it could be a pain flare or an asthma attack. [7:26] Holly asks how families can be prepared for medical bills related to emergency care. [7:40] Beth replies, You also have on that bill the ER doctor and the ambulance fee, including mileage, which must be accurate or rounded up to the next mile. Track the mileage in your car. [8:43] Who will be transporting you: volunteers from the fire department, a hospital ambulance, or an outside ambulance? Are you going under Basic Life Support or Advanced Life Support? [9:05] Once you get to the ER, have someone else with you who can advocate for you. Sometimes, staff will bring you forms to sign before they treat you. If you're in a lot of pain, you're not in your right mind to sign those forms; you're only thinking of your pain. [9:53] Ryan says a friend of his went to his doctor's office for a prescription refill. Typically, he pays a $25.00 copay per visit. This prescription refill visit was not covered in the same way as other visits, and he received a bill for over $200. The insurance company only covers maintenance appointments. [10:48] Beth says an Explanation of Benefits (EOB) comes from your insurance company. It shows what the doctor charged, what the insurance company paid, and what you owe. [11:07] A medical bill is what your provider sends you. Beth always asks the provider to send the bill after the insurance company has paid. That way, you know the insurance company has paid on the bill, and there are no surprises. [11:25] When the provider bills you, the insurance company may have paid something on it, or it may have applied the bill toward your deductible or copay. [11:44] When a patient receives a provider bill, Beth says they can go to a company called FAIR Health to see today's rates of what should be charged. Insurance companies negotiate rates with providers. [12:04] Beth says that an out-of-network provider of physical therapy can charge, for example, $160 a visit, and you have to pay out-of-pocket. They can send it to your insurance company, and the insurance company may only pay 30% of the charge. [12:20] Call the insurance company to ask questions about your insurance. Utilize the estimated costs feature on your insurance company's website. [12:32] Beth says she always keeps the page of her health insurance booklet that shows what a PCP office visit, or outpatient specialist visit, will cost. Most people get the book and toss it out, but that page is very helpful. [12:53] If you go into the emergency room, you might have a $300 copay just to be seen, but if you ask them to bill you after they bill your insurance company, most places should respect that. [13:11] Beth says that most of the time, the red flags that she looks for on medical bills are supply items. Most supply items are included in the cost of the hospital visit. She says a surgical hospital visit is like an oil change. [13:42] Beth compares a surgery to an oil and filter change. When you go in for surgery, the drape they put over you is included. You only pay for the supply items you walk out with. [15:15] Beth says, If there's something wrong on your medical bill, your insurance rep may not know the answer. Most insurance companies have outsourced their billing questions. Start with the billing department of the hospital. [15:35] Ask, "Why did you bill me for an X, Y, Z, when I didn't have an X, Y, Z? I had an A, B, C. Can we re-examine this, please?" Another thing is to go back to your provider. [15:52] The provider can request medical notes, which are part of your patient record, and you can look at them yourself. Beth says, for hospital stays, she always tells people to ask for a completely itemized bill. [16:12] Holly agrees. [16:20] Beth says you have to look at the itemized bill. Does something make sense to you? Does it look a little unreasonable? That's easy to see. [16:26] Ryan says when you call your insurance company, it can be time-consuming to reach the person who can answer your question, but it's important to do so, especially for expensive things like hospital stays. Doctor's office visits can also be expensive. [16:58] Something else that can be tricky is medications. Especially for those of us with chronic illnesses and the rare diseases that we work with here at APFED, costs can be quite high for some of the medications patients take. [17:20] Beth says, When you call the insurance company, ask for the name of the person you are talking to. Write down the name, date, and time that you spoke to the person. Ask them for a call reference number, where they are located, and what was discussed so you have record of that information. [18:04] For medications, you can look up prices through GoodRx or other prescription websites that might give you an estimate of what the possible cost could be. [18:20] If your provider states on the prescription, Do not substitute or give generics, you might be paying full price. Otherwise, most pharmacies will offer you the generics. [18:35] Holly asks, If someone feels overwhelmed by billing or insurance issues, where can they go for help? Are there resources that you recommend? [18:45] Beth says, There is a patient advocate group, with individuals across all 50 states, that will help you with medical bills and advise you on everything else. Your provider's office or the facility also might have someone who could help you. [19:11] Beth says she would look for patient advocates like social workers. Make sure whoever you work with has medical knowledge. [19:26] Ryan says, talking with the billing department can feel a little antagonistic, but they are there to help you. If you talk to the right people and ask the right questions, you can figure out what's going on and get some answers. [19:40] Beth agrees and says, Always write down your questions. Ryan adds, Always write down the answers and ask the name of the person you are talking to. Beth reminds you to ask for the call reference number. They keep a record of every call. [20:09] Beth's last words about medical billing: "The most important thing is keeping track of what's going on. I recommend using a calendar, like a planner, that you can write 'I saw Dr. J. Smith, EoE Specialist. Discussed flare-ups,' and the time and date." [20:30] "Keep a record. That way, in this planner, you can go back to it and match it up. If possible, have someone with you or on the phone with you when you talk with them. The other person can take notes, which is very important." [20:39] "You need to have the backup and the understanding. If you don't understand something, ask questions." Ryan says, Those are good tips for everyone.

Haïti figure parmi les pays les plus dangereux au monde pour les journalistes. Selon le dernier rapport de Reporters sans frontières (RSF), le pays se classe au 111è rang sur 180. Dans ce contexte dominé par la violence des gangs, les journalistes sont fréquemment la cible d'actes criminels, ou même de certains membres de la Police nationale haïtienne. Après Port-au-Prince, la capitale, l'Artibonite est la deuxième région du pays où la situation des journalistes est particulièrement préoccupante. À Saint-Marc, chef-lieu du Bas-Artibonite, les journalistes sont désormais obligés de rester confinés dans le centre-ville, car la commune se trouve prise en étau entre deux gangs puissants qui menacent régulièrement de s'emparer de la ville. « Nous, journalistes de Saint-Marc, aimerions souvent nous rendre dans les zones périphériques pour réaliser des reportages, notamment dans la commune de Montrouis. Malheureusement, cette région est aujourd'hui contrôlée par des hommes armés, explique à Ronel Paul le journaliste Yveto Altidort, de la Radio Latibonite FM. Nous souhaiterions également nous rendre dans la vallée de l'Artibonite afin d'y rencontrer les paysans, qui ne peuvent plus travailler leurs terres à cause de la présence du gang Gran Grif à Savien, dirigé par un certain Luckson Elan. Hélas, c'est désormais impossible. Contrairement aux années 2020, 2021 et 2022, il est aujourd'hui extrêmement difficile pour nous, journalistes, de poursuivre notre travail sur le terrain. » Les journalistes risquent aussi désormais davantage de sanctions pour diffamation : à trois semaines de la fin de son mandat, le conseil présidentiel de transition (CPT) a adopté un décret pour « encadrer la liberté d'expression ». Le comité de protection des journalistes dénonce un recul des libertés de la presse et réclame le retrait du document publié par les autorités de transition. État de siège au Guatemala Le président Bernardo Arévalo a déclaré l'état de siège pour 30 jours au Guatemala après l'assassinat de 8 policiers par les gangs ce week-end. Les portraits en noir et blanc de ces hommes et femmes, en uniforme, sont alignés en Une de La Hora. En signe de deuil, la première page du quotidien Prensa Libre a été imprimée sur fond noir ce dimanche et ce lundi. Les policiers ont été tués dans une série d'attaques, de mutineries et de prises d'otages dans des prisons, après que les autorités ont décidé de transférer des chefs de gangs dans un établissement de haute sécurité. Dans son éditorial du jour, Prensa Libre déplore que la politique actuelle du gouvernement consiste plus à réagir qu'à anticiper. D'après le quotidien, ce n'est toutefois pas nouveau : les systèmes de renseignement ont été « fragilisés » par les gouvernements successifs, par « négligence » ou à cause de « querelles politiques ». Le journal appelle à « punir », au nom des droits des citoyens, même si cela va à l'encontre des droits humains. Mais attention à la tentation « d'importer les méthodes » répressives du Salvador de Nayib Bukele, prévient l'auteur d'une tribune dans El Siglo. C'est un « risque mortel pour la république », écrit-il. Car face à un « discours d'efficacité, tout contrepouvoir est vu comme suspect, est perçu comme un obstacle qui protègerait les coupables », regrette l'auteur de cette tribune. Mais si « le pouvoir apprend qu'il peut fonctionner sans limites », il est déjà trop tard quand le citoyen réalise ensuite « qu'il n'a plus personne à qui demander des comptes », conclut-il. Au Québec, la difficile mise en œuvre d'une réforme sur la langue française C'est une exception culturelle, encerclée par 350 millions d'anglophones : au Québec, le seul État francophone d'Amérique du Nord, la langue française se défend par la loi. Depuis 2022, le gouvernement a durci sa législation linguistique avec une réforme majeure qui impose le français comme langue normale du travail, du commerce et des affaires. Saluée par ceux qui redoutent une assimilation lente, cette réforme oblige désormais les entreprises, locales comme internationales, à réviser leur grammaire, sous peine de lourdes sanctions. Mais près de sept mois après son entrée en vigueur, l'application de cette réforme se heurte à des difficultés sur le terrain, a constaté notre correspondante à Montréal, Nafi Alibert. Dans le journal de La 1ère... En Guadeloupe, l'Hôpital de Capesterre-Belle Eau passe officiellement sous la direction du Centre Hospitalier de Basse-Terre, explique Benoît Ferrand, d'Outre-Mer La 1ère.

Don Dupuis is a Louisiana technology pioneer whose work quietly shaped how businesses across Acadiana and far beyond learned to operate in the early days of the digital age. Don founded Acadiana Computer Systems in 1969, at a time when most offices still relied on adding machines, paper ledgers, and manual calculations. Long before “IT services” was a common phrase, Don saw that businesses, especially medical practices, needed help navigating billing, coding, payroll, and data management. What began as a small, homegrown operation became a regional force, supporting doctors, lawyers, oilfield companies, universities, public offices, and even the horse racing industry. In this conversation, Don walks us through a remarkable journey that begins in Carencro, where he grew up and still lives on the very property where he was born. He shares stories from his early career in banking, including helping launch the credit card business in central Louisiana, complete with a secret U-Haul trip to Baton Rouge to retrieve credit cards during a rainstorm, and how that experience opened his eyes to the power of automation. Without a formal computer science degree, Don built his company by pairing business insight with technical brilliance. He credits early partner Roy Arwood, a mathematician and programmer, as “a genius” who wrote the software while Don sold, ran, and personally operated the systems. Together, they computerized payrolls with hundreds, sometimes thousands, of employees, ultimately processing more than one million W-2s in a single year. Don explains how Acadiana Computer Systems served a wide range of clients: Oilfield companies with massive payrolls Medical practices struggling with complex coding and insurance reimbursement Universities and medical schools, including LSU systems Registrars of voters and tax assessors The horse racing industry, where his team produced race programs before tote boards existed In medical billing, Don describes uncovering widespread inefficiencies, and sometimes outright fraud, costing physician practices tens of thousands of dollars each month. His company didn't just process claims; it helped doctors understand diagnosis codes, CPT procedures, and compliance, often recovering revenue that would otherwise be lost. “A doctor's bill is one of the most complicated things to produce,” he explains, emphasizing how critical accuracy became once Medicare and government oversight entered the picture. The episode also captures the culture of Lafayette's boom years. Don recalls a time when oil money flooded the region, businesses were expanding rapidly, and opportunity felt “wide open.” He also speaks candidly about downturns, particularly the late-1970s and early-1980s oil collapse, when many left Lafayette in search of work elsewhere. After decades of growth, Don sold Acadiana Computer Systems in 2021, staying on briefly before stepping away for good. He reflects on the realities of modern consolidation, offshore labor, and automation, noting that while technology keeps advancing, it often comes at the expense of long-term employees. In late 2025, Don made local news again when he sold the former ACS’ headquarters (nearly 30,000-square-foot building on Dulles Drive) for $3.6-million deal to South Louisiana Community College, allowing the campus to expand classrooms, offices, and student services. Beyond business, Don shares stories of generosity and community, from housing Lafayette's mounted police horses on his rural property to building lifelong relationships based on handshakes rather than contracts. “If you're nice to somebody, it comes back,” he says, reflecting on clients who became partners simply because he helped when they needed it most. The conversation closes with Don's thoughts on artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and the future of work. Having witnessed the evolution from mainframes to personal computers to AI, he sees enormous potential, particularly in medicine, alongside serious risks if technology is used carelessly. He also laments the massive shift of jobs to foreign countries where people making $2.50 per hour are gladly taking jobs once held by America's talented workforce. This episode is a rare oral history of Acadiana's early technology era, told by someone who helped build it: one payroll run, one program, and one handshake at a time. We thank our dear friend, Don Dupuis, for his generous spirit and the contributions he has made to our business climate in Acadiana. Avec beaucoup d’amour!

Dr. Travis Morrell, chair of Colorado Principled Physicians and a senior fellow at Do No Harm Medicine, joins me to pull back the curtain on what he calls the "medical mafia"—the intricate web of organizations led by the American Medical Association that manufactures the illusion of consensus on controversial medical practices, particularly pediatric sex trait modification.We explore how the AMA maintains its power despite only 15% of American doctors being members. The answer lies in a government-mandated monopoly: the AMA holds the copyright on CPT codes—the procedural codes every healthcare provider in the country must use to bill insurance and Medicare. This generates hundreds of millions in revenue annually, which the AMA then uses to lobby politicians, influence other medical organizations, and train activists within specialty societies to align with their positions.Travis explains how this money flows into shadow organizations like Race Forward to push diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives that ultimately tie back to gender ideology in medicine. We discuss the physical harms of cross-sex hormones on women—including vaginal atrophy, pelvic floor dysfunction, and incontinence affecting over 95% of female patients on testosterone—and why Travis compares these effects to female genital mutilation. We also discuss what everyday people and physicians can do to push back against this institutional capture, and why speaking up—even privately—is a moral duty.Travis Morrell, MD, MPH, is a dad, husband, and physician. A lifelong learner to a fault, his postgraduate medical training in five specialty departments and medical leadership gives him a broad perspective of his profession. He is published in the top journals of multiple fields and in popular media. Dr. Morrell is a Senior Fellow at Do No Harm Medicine. He is Chair of Colorado Principled Physicians, a grassroots organization of physicians promoting evidence-based medicine and classical liberal values.The X thread mentionedX: @MorrellMDmphProtect Kids ColoradoColorado Principled PhysiciansStop the Harm Database[00:00:00] Start[00:00:46] Introducing Dr. Travis Morrell[00:09:30] The AMA's $450 Million Empire and CPT Code Monopoly[00:17:34] How the AMA Controls Other Medical Organizations[00:30:53] Who's Driving the Gender Ideology Agenda[00:44:35] Cross-Sex Hormones as Female Genital Mutilation[00:49:06] Physical Harms of Testosterone on Women[01:07:01] What Doctors and Patients Can Do[01:10:51] Why Doctors Alone Won't Save the Day[01:17:43] Compassion for Affected Kids and Families[01:18:47] Where to Find Dr. Travis MorrellROGD REPAIR Course + Community gives concerned parents instant access to over 120 lessons providing the psychological insights and communication tools you need to get through to your kid.

Send us a text if you want to be on the Podcast & explain why!SUF-CPT guarantees trainers to pass within 30-days and become a qualified CPT w/ SUFStop drowning in 800 pages and start studying what gyms and the NASM exam actually test. We map the shortest path to a pass—then show how to turn that pass into a paying career with confident programming, clear communication, and real-world coaching skills.We start with the keystones: the OPT model's five phases, the acute variables you must know cold, and how to spot supersets, tempos, and intensities at a glance. Then we make it practical. You'll hear how to connect planes of motion to real exercises, identify agonists and stabilizers on the fly, and use a simple corrective flow for common patterns like knee valgus or heels lifting. We also clarify assessments and tests—from the overhead squat to Rockport, VT1/VT2, push-up endurance, and the LEFT—plus the must-know vital sign basics and what counts as subjective vs objective data.Nutrition stays simple and test-relevant: calories per gram, AMDR ranges, and hydration targets. More importantly, we critique fluffy warm-ups and long cooldowns and replace them with a plug-and-play full-body structure that sells: push, pull, accessory; repeat with intent; finish strong. If the bench is taken at 5 pm, you'll know exactly how to pivot without losing flow or confidence. That's what hiring managers want to see on a crowded floor.Along the way, we share a success story that moves from passing to getting hired, explain why textbook-only learning stalls new trainers, and outline a smarter route: study guides, live coaching, and hands-on practice with oversight. We also talk about building a professional team with a physical therapist and a registered dietitian so you can stay in scope, refer out wisely, and charge like a pro.Ready to pass NASM fast and coach with confidence?

This episode originally dropped on: March 19, 2025Many of us have spent a lifetime trying to shrink ourselves. We grew up being told you could never be too thin. As athletes, especially in endurance sports, smaller, lighter, faster was the ethos of the day. That is changing as we see athletes, especially women, discover that being fueled and strong yields even better performance–and longevity. This week's guest, trainer and nutrition coach Steph Gaudreau embodies that journey through both her personal and professional life. She shares how, for 40+ women especially, growing muscles is the key to better energy and performance in sport and life, and how strength training is the gateway to midlife self-acceptance. Steph Gaudreau, CISSN, CPT, helps athletic women over 40 fuel themselves better, get stronger, increase their energy, and perform better in the gym. She's a sports nutritionist and strength coach with multiple certifications including USA Weightlifting coach, Menopause Health & Fitness Specialist, Girls Gone Strong Women's Coaching Specialist, and Intuitive Eating Counselor. She shares her advice on building strength, proper fueling, and much more as the host of the Fuel Your Strength Podcast.
