Andy and Kevin Thompson from 9i Capital Group share their thoughts on a handful of current events and "hot topics" relating to retirement planning. Specifically, they talk about: Thoughts on how the One Big Beautiful Bill Act complicates 2025 tax planning.

( 17:33 )Their views on private or alternative investments and whether consumers should embrace them ( 34:30 )Should people try to prevent ever being in IRMAA (i.e. income-based Medicare surcharge) territory with their income, or instead consider SOME IRMAA in the name of longer term tax planning ( 44:04 )Helping address client mental incapacity issues, elder/financial abuse, etc. ( 54:43 )What keeps them up at night, in their roles as advisors ( 1:00:01 )Links in this episode:Kevin's company's website - https://www.9icapitalgroup.com/Kevin's YouTube page - https://www.youtube.com/@9iCap/Kevin's company's Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/9iCapGroup/Kevin's X (formerly Twitter) page - https://x.com/9ICapGroupKevin's Substack page - https://9icapital.substack.com/Kevin's LinkedIn page - hereTo send Andy questions to be addressed on future Q&A episodes, email andy@andypanko.comMy company newsletter - Retirement Planning InsightsFacebook group - Retirement Planning Education (formerly Taxes in Retirement)YouTube channel - Retirement Planning Education (formerly Retirement Planning Demystified)Retirement Planning Education website - www.RetirementPlanningEducation.com

In this week's podcast, we sit down with Drs. Sarguni Singh, Christian Furman, and Lynn Flint, three authors of the recent Journal of the American Geriatrics Society article, "Rehab and Death: Improving End-of-Life Care for Medicare Skilled Nursing Facility Beneficiaries."  The authors dive into the challenges facing seriously ill older adults discharged to Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNFs), where fragmented care transitions, misaligned Medicare policies, and inadequate access to palliative care often result in burdensome hospitalizations and goal-discordant care.  The discussion highlights key barriers in Medicare's SNF and hospice benefits, including the inability to access concurrent hospice and SNF care, and explores solutions to improve care. Among the recommendations is leveraging Medicare's Patient Driven Payment Model (PDPM) to reimburse SNFs for providing palliative care, commissioning a Government Accountability Office (GAO) report on SNF utilization at the end of life, and piloting a model that allows time-limited concurrent hospice and rehabilitation care.  Also, check out these two resources if you want a deeper dive: Our past podcast we did, now nearly 6 years ago, on the original NEJM paper, Rehabbed to Death.

Medicare is a cornerstone of retirement planning, but its complexity can leave many retirees feeling overwhelmed. In this episode, host John Bryson, head of investment consulting, investment data analytics, and education savings at Manulife John Hancock Investments, welcomes Danielle to break down the Medicare essentials you need to know for 2026 and beyond.Danielle, author of the book 10 Costly Medicare Mistakes You Can't Afford to Make, discusses the latest expected changes to Medicare. She emphasizes the importance of early research and understanding the difference between supplemental plans, such as Medicare Advantage plans and Medicare Supplement Insurance (Medigap). She also offers strategies to help avoid higher Income-Related Monthly Adjustment Amount (IRMAA) surcharges.Here's a snippet from the conversation:1 What changes are expected to Medicare in 2026?Danielle: While we don't have some Medicare figures due to the government shutdown, we can expect Part B premiums to increase a bit. Projections suggest they could rise to $206 next year. Another major change stems from the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, which led several carriers to exit the Part D market. As a result, about 2 million people are likely to lose their Medicare Advantage plans. If you've received a notice that your plan is exiting the market, it's important to shop for a new plan promptly to ensure you have coverage in place for January 1.2 What's IRMAA and how does it affect Medicare costs?Danielle: IRMAA is a surcharge on Medicare Part B and Part D, based on your income. While the base rate in 2025 is $185, an IRMAA surcharge will increase that amount. As a result, Part B premiums for people in really high-income brackets can increase to over $600 per month. So, decisions you make at ages 63 and 64 can affect your Medicare premiums at 65 and 66. It's wise to work with your financial advisor to plan ahead to explore spreading out income or avoiding large distributions that may help prevent higher premiums later.

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Clay: I'd be a Better SCOTUS Judge Clay and Buck break down the case that could redefine the separation of powers by determining whether presidents can fire executive branch officials who lead independent regulatory agencies. They argue that this decision isn’t just about Donald Trump—it will impact every future president, from Obama to potential leaders like Gavin Newsom or JD Vance. The hosts criticize Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s comments during oral arguments, questioning her understanding of constitutional principles and highlighting what they see as her overtly political approach. Clay even raises the provocative argument that Biden’s pledge to appoint a Black woman to the Court may have violated federal law, sparking a broader discussion on merit, diversity, and judicial competence. The hour then pivots to cultural commentary, featuring clips from The View and a spirited debate about Donald Trump’s legacy. Clay and Buck dismantle claims that Trump will be a mere “footnote,” asserting that he is the most influential political figure of the 21st century and second only to Ronald Reagan in the past 45 years. They compare Trump’s impact to other modern presidents, including Obama, Clinton, and George W. Bush, and explore how Trump reshaped American politics and global dynamics. This segment underscores the enduring influence of Trump’s policies and persona, regardless of media narratives. Uncle Bill Stops By Bill O’Reilly (aka Uncle Bill) shares candid insights from his recent conversations with President Trump. O’Reilly ranks Trump among the top ten U.S. presidents, praising his unmatched work ethic while noting that Abraham Lincoln will always hold the number one spot. He contrasts Trump’s accomplishments with what he calls Joe Biden’s catastrophic presidency, arguing Biden failed to solve a single major problem during his term. O’Reilly also warns that affordability concerns—particularly rising insurance costs—could become a defining issue in the 2026 midterms, even as Trump touts strong economic fundamentals like job growth and stock market gains. Can You Afford Your Life? The discussion pivots to Trump’s economic strategy and his push to address affordability through a Pennsylvania tour. Clay and Buck emphasize that inflation and high prices remain top-of-mind for voters, regardless of improving economic indicators. They spotlight Trump’s critique of Obamacare, playing audio where Trump blasts the law as a “disaster” that enriches insurance companies while leaving Americans with skyrocketing premiums and shrinking networks. The hosts argue that the entire healthcare system is broken, riddled with hidden costs and subsidies, and warn that demographic shifts—more retirees and fewer young workers—will strain programs like Social Security and Medicare for decades to come. Over half of Americans pay no federal income tax, while government spending under Biden—$6.8 trillion in 2021 alone—fueled historic inflation. The hosts dismantle progressive proposals like tax exemptions as reparations, pointing out that many households already pay zero federal income tax. They end the hour by reaffirming that Biden’s reckless spending spree drove inflation from 1.7% to over 9%, cementing economic frustration as a key issue heading into the next election cycle. Christmas Music and Gifts are Overrated A spirited debate about holiday traditions, gift-giving, and the commercialization of Christmas. Clay admits he’s “going Grinch” over the nonstop barrage of Christmas music and argues that only children should receive gifts, while Buck shares his preference for practical contributions like college fund donations over material presents. Callers weigh in with creative solutions, including gift exchange apps and liquor swaps, adding humor and relatability to the discussion. The hour closes with a playful exchange about presidential rankings, as listeners challenge the hosts’ takes on George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Thomas Jefferson, sparking a lively historical debate.

Keywords Diabetes, D-PAC, Medicare, GLP-1 medications, patient advocacy, healthcare access, insulin pumps, CGMs, diabetes technology, legislative reform AI info below: Summary In this conversation, George Huntley, CEO of the Diabetes Patient Advocacy Coalition (D-PAC), discusses the critical role of advocacy in improving diabetes care and access to technology. He highlights the challenges faced by patients, particularly regarding Medicare coverage for insulin pumps and continuous glucose monitors (CGMs), and the implications of recent legislative changes. The discussion also covers the potential of GLP-1 medications in diabetes management and the importance of patient stories in advocacy efforts. Takeaways D-PAC focuses on affordable and equitable access to diabetes care. Advocacy is crucial for influencing healthcare policies. Competitive bidding for diabetes technology could limit access for seniors. Patient stories are essential in legislative advocacy. GLP-1 medications show promise in reshaping diabetes treatment. Economic factors play a significant role in healthcare access. The aging population of type 1 diabetes patients requires urgent attention. Collaboration among advocacy groups is vital for success. Healthcare costs are driven more by major medical expenses than by drug prices. Continued advocacy is necessary to protect patient access to care.

When auditing risk of management in an E/M note, how are over-the-counter (OTC) medications scored? Under the 1995/1997 guidelines, they were categorized in the “low” risk row. However, the 2021 guidelines provide no examples under minimal or low risk, relying instead on AMA and Medicare guidance. Terry explains this distinction and highlights the difference between an acute uncomplicated illness and an acute illness with systemic symptoms. Take a listen.

In this episode of Healthcare Americana, host Christopher Habig talks with neurosurgeon and healthcare policy leader Dr. Anthony DiGiorgio about the growing crisis around prior authorizations. They discuss how complicated approval processes delay urgent care, burden physicians, and put patients at risk. Dr. DiGiorgio explains why smarter, low-friction models such as gold-carding and stronger subspecialty board oversight could help rebuild trust between physicians and payers. The conversation also covers the 340B drug discount program, which Dr. DiGiorgio has testified about before Congress. He explains how a program originally designed to help low-income patients has become a major revenue source for large hospital systems and often increases costs for Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance. Together, they offer a clear and accessible look at what is broken in these systems and what meaningful reform could achieve.More on Freedom Healthworks & FreedomDoc HealthSubscribe at https://healthcareamericana.com/More on Dr. Anthony DiGiorgioFollow Healthcare Americana: Instagram & LinkedIN

Paying for college is one of the biggest financial shocks families face — not just because tuition keeps rising, but because the decisions parents make in the moment can have an outsized effect on their own financial future. Most people think college planning is about saving early, opening a 529, and hoping the FAFSA works out in their favor. But as college funding strategist Brian Eyster explains, the system is far more complex, and the consequences of getting it wrong often show up decades later… in retirement.Brian joins Matt to break down the hidden rules of college-saving — the ones most parents never hear until it's too late. In this episode, Brian reveals why traditional advice often falls short, how to legally reduce what colleges expect you to pay, and using tools like home equity, cash flow, and even student loans strategically so you protect your long-term financial health.My website with more Medicare resources, books, courses, and more: https://prepareformedicare.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=organic_descriptionI recommend my wife's Medicare insurance agency, but there's never any obligation or pressure to work with her team.

Alrighty. As Mental Health is at a all time high in the transitioning world we cohabitate, I need to bring attention to THE COST. I just read this really sharp take on the whole therapy conversation in America, and I wanted to break it down for you.The main point is pretty straightforward: the mental-health crisis isn't mostly about a lack of therapy.A PERSONAL NOTE: Hyper Sensational Therapy vs. Real Healing: Why Presence MattersThere's a trend in therapy that prizes spectacle over substance — dramatic techniques, flashy protocols, and quick-fix promises that look impressive but often miss what actually keeps people stuck. I've trained across many modalities — hypnotherapy, trauma‑informed approaches, EMDR, archetypal healing, Internal Family Systems, and more — and I've learned something important: technique alone isn't the point.The core of real change is simple and often quiet. At the heart of my practice is being a natural intuitive and a committed witness, informed by relational neuroscience and energetics.What matters most is presence. Presence is the first and most powerful intervention. When a practitioner can hold steady, attuned, and nonreactive, clients are able to drop the performance and melt into vulnerability. That's when the body speaks, the nervous system moves, and grief, fear, shame, or confusion can be processed rather than re-enacted.Is Therapy Costing You?Money stress, loneliness, and the fact that a lot of the old ways we used to cope (church, bars, big friend groups, family nearby) have basically disappeared.Therapy can be helpful for some people, no question, especially the roughly one in four adults dealing with real mental illness.But it's been turned into this mandatory first step for everyone, almost like a luxury product.The message everywhere online is: you can't date, you can't be happy, you can't even really live until you've spent years and thousands of dollars ‘working on yourself.'And that's starting to feel off.What's interesting is that this same pressure has quietly taken over a lot of spiritual and self-development communities too.You see it all the time now: before you can meditate properly, manifest anything, or even show up to a retreat or a ceremony, you're told you have to ‘do your trauma work first' or ‘heal your inner child.'Therapy-speak has become the new gatekeeper — even in spaces that used to be about direct connection to something bigger.It's like you're not allowed to seek meaning or transcendence until you've paid a therapist to sign off on your emotional résumé.A lot of the happiest countries in the world don't have therapy on every corner.They have strong safety nets, affordable housing, universal healthcare, higher wages, or super tight family and community bonds.When people aren't constantly worried about losing everything, their mental health — and honestly their spiritual life — tends to be a lot richer.Meanwhile, social media is flooded with therapy language (boundaries, attachment styles, trauma, self-care), and most of it comes from people who are actually doing fine.A huge percentage of the mental-health advice on TikTok and Instagram is misleading or flat-out wrong, but it spreads because vulnerability gets clicks and likes.On the access side, the U.S. actually has plenty of therapists overall — more than doctors or dentists per capita.The real problem is cost and distribution: rural areas have almost none, most don't take insurance, and if you're on Medicaid or Medicare you're often out of luck.If you've got money, therapy is as easy as booking a workout class.If you don't, good luck.There's also a growing gender gap.Women are twice as likely to get mental-health treatment, partly because three-quarters of therapists are women, and a lot of guys just don't feel understood in those rooms.Young men in particular are falling behind faster than any other group (education, jobs, relationships, suicide rates), and the loudest cultural voices either ignore them or blame them.So some end up drifting toward the only places that at least pretend to listen, even if those places are toxic.The piece ends with a pretty blunt line: social media platforms and influencers — and honestly a lot of modern spiritual spaces — make more money when people stay anxious and stuck in endless processing.The bigger fixes aren't another app, another $200 session, or another ten-week trauma course.They're economic security, real-life community, fitness, taking social risks, and rebuilding the basic stuff that makes humans feel connected, safe, and open to something deeper.That's the gist of it. I thought it was a refreshingly non-ideological way to look at a conversation that usually gets very heated very fast. I'd love to know your thoughts.If you're curious about finding personalized support that has a foundation in relational neuroscience to support all the working parts of your brain that may be atrophied, and also an intuitive process to integrate the problem-solving you bring to each Oracle guide, then I'd love for you to experience the light between the Oracle journey.Now until Christmas, I'm offering a lifetime subscription for $42, which is a savings of $528.

Jim and Chris discuss listener questions on Social Security family maximum and suspending benefits, a listener PSA on IRMAA premiums, a listener PSA on Medicare premiums, a listener PSA on Social Security claiming strategies, Roth contribution rules, and Roth conversion disadvantages.(4:30) George asks how the combined family maximum benefit works when two retirement records are combined to increase the family limit for auxiliary benefits paid to a spouse and two minor children.(16:00) A listener asks what additional factors should be considered when suspending a Social Security benefit at full retirement age and restarting at 70 after previously claiming early.(30:15) The guys share a PSA in which a listener states that IRMAA is a premium rather than a tax because Medicare enrollment is optional.(37:45) Georgette shares her objections to Chris describing the base Medicare premium as “free” and explains why she feels that is misleading.(44:30) A listener offers a couple of PSAs, first sharing their thoughts on Nokbox, then sharing an article on a Social Security claiming strategy they believe could help people concerned about sequence of returns.(51:00) The guys answer a question about how a 529-to-Roth IRA transfer affects the annual Roth contribution limit when part of the rollover is gains.(56:30) Jim and Chris address what disadvantages exist when choosing a Roth conversion instead of a non-RMD IRA withdrawal when both would be taxable.

I'm Stacey Simms and every other Friday I bring you a short episode with the top diabetes stories and headlines happening now. Our top story this week: XX Certain glucose monitors from Abbott Diabetes Care are providing users with incorrect glucose readings, an error that has been linked with the deaths of at least seven people and more than 700 serious injuries worldwide, according to an alert from the US Food and Drug Administration.   Incorrect glucose readings can lead to improper treatment. Abbott warned that about 3 million FreeStyle Libre 3 and FreeStyle Libre 3 Plus sensors are affected, but no other Libre products. Patients can visit FreeStyleCheck.com to see if their sensors are affected and to get a replacement for free.   The FDA has also published specific information about the affected products in its alert. The agency considers this to be a "potentially high-risk issue" and will continue to update its website as information becomes available.   "Patients should verify if their sensors are impacted and immediately discontinue use and dispose of the affected sensor(s)," the FDA said.   https://www.cnn.com/2025/12/02/health/abbott-diabetes-glucose-monitors https://www.freestylecheck.com/us-en/home.html XX Omnipod 5 is getting some enhancements.. and Omnipod 6 is announced. The FDA cleared updates including  a lower, 100 mg/dL target glucose option and what they call a more seamless automated experience. "This is the most significant algorithm advancement to our Omnipod 5 System since its launch in 2022," said Eric Benjamin, Insulet EVP and COO. Insulet said the new 100 mg/dL target glucose expands Omnipod 5's customization range. It now features six settings between 100 mg/dL and 150 mg/dL in 10 mg/dL increments. The company said this flexibility allows healthcare providers to tailor insulin delivery more precisely. It supports individuals seeking tighter glucose management or aiming to meet specific glucose goals. Omnipod 5's latest upgrades also help users stay in "Automated Mode" with fewer interruptions, even during prolonged high glucose events. Insulet plans to launch the updates to the algorithm in the first half of 2026. The company announced plans for an Omnipod 6 – without a lot of detail - at the company's Investor Day event in November. They also talked about a new, fully closed-loop pump for the type 2 diabetes population. https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/insulet-fda-clearance-omnipod-5-algorithm-enhancements/ XX Dexcom, the global leader in glucose biosensing, announced today that the Dexcom G7 15 Day Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) System will launch in the United States on Dec. 1, making it the longest-lasting CGM system with 15.5 days of wear.   Dexcom G7 15 Day will first be available through durable medical equipment (DME) providers on Dec. 1 with full retail launch in the coming weeks. Dexcom G7 15 Day will also be covered for Medicare beneficiaries.   Dexcom G7 15 Day's industry-leading wear-time will provide fewer sensor changes, less disruption and more time for people with diabetes to benefit from life-changing CGM technology.   New with Dexcom G7 15 Day:  Longest lasting CGM system with 15.5 days of wear. Best-in-class accuracy1 with an overall MARD of 8.0%. Easier glucose management with fewer monthly sensor changes and reduced monthly waste. This follows yesterday's announcement – the FDA has cleared Dexcom Smart Basal, the first and only CGM-integrated basal insulin dosing optimizer designed for adults 18 and older with Type 2 diabetes using long-acting insulin. Dexcom Smart Basal will use Dexcom G7 15 Day sensor data and logged doses to calculate personalized daily recommendations to guide users towards a more effective long-acting insulin dose, as directed by their healthcare provider. At launch, Dexcom G7 15 Day will connect with the iLet Bionic Pancreas and Omnipod® 5§§. We are working closely with Tandem and look forward to extending the launch to their customers shortly as they finalize integration. For specific information on pump compatibility and availability with the Dexcom G7 15 Day system, visit Dexcom.com/connectedpumps https://investors.dexcom.com/news/news-details/2025/Dexcom-G7-15-Day-Continuous-Glucose-Monitoring-System-to-Launch-on-Dec--1-in-the-United-States/default.aspx   XX A small study of ten adults with type 1 diabetes tested Tandem's new fully closed-loop "Freedom" insulin system — and the participants put it through a real-world stress test. For 72 hours in a hotel setting, they ate heavy carb-and-fat meals, skipped all meal announcements, and didn't give any mealtime insulin boluses. The system handled almost everything automatically. Researchers said the device stayed in closed-loop mode 97% of the time and there were no incidents of diabetic ketoacidosis or severe hypoglycemia reported. While using the Freedom system, participants spent a median 61% of the day in the glucose target range — slightly higher than the 56% achieved with their usual pump at home. But the biggest improvement came overnight: time in range jumped to 96% with the closed-loop system compared to just under 70% during their home-pump week. With almost zero time spent below 70 mg/dL, researchers concluded that the fully automated Tandem system was both safe and effective even with unannounced, high-impact meals — hinting at a future of diabetes management that demands less effort from users.   XX Novo Nordisk reported promising mid-stage results for its experimental drug amycretin (AM-ee-creht-in) in diabetes patients on Tuesday. Amycretin, targets both GLP-1 and amylin hormones. In this study, it helped patients with type 2 diabetes lose up to 14.5% of their body weight over 36 weeks with weekly injections, far outperforming a placebo. The oral version delivered weight loss of up to 10.1%. Rival Eli Lilly  is surging ahead with its own amylin-based drug, eloralintide, which is advancing to late-stage testing after helping patients shed as much as 20% of their weight in a mid-stage trial. https://www.cnbc.com/2025/11/25/novos-next-gen-obesity-drug-shows-positive-results-heads-to-late-stage-testing.html XX The U.S. Medicare health plan said on Tuesday that newly negotiated prices for 15 of its costliest drugs will save 36% on those medications compared with recent annual spending, or about $8.5 billion in net covered prescription costs. The prices go into effect in 2027, including a monthly price of $274 for Novo Nordisk's popular GLP-1 drug semaglutide, sold as Wegovy for weight loss and Ozempic for diabetes. medicare's recent net price for Ozempic, opens new tab was $428 a month, according to an analysis published in the Journal of Managed Care and Specialty Pharmacy. Medicare put the drug's list price, before confidential rebates and discounts, at $959 a month. Based on such nondiscounted list prices, Medicare said savings on the 15 drugs ranged from 38% to 85%. The annual price negotiations were established under President Joe Biden's signature Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) of 2022. Previously, Medicare was barred by law from negotiating with drugmakers. https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/us-negotiated-medicare-prices-15-more-drugs-test-cost-savings-promise-2025-11-25/   XX LifeScan announced its Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization plan received U.S. Bankruptcy Court approval. LifeScan said it's positioned to emerge from its financial restructuring process by the end of the year. The CEO says, "This balance sheet restructuring provides a stronger foundation for LifeScan to support our base business, advance new growth strategies, and commence our journey to become one of the most comprehensive players in the glucose management space." https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/glucose-monitor-lifescan-emerge-from-bankruptcy/ XX An artificial intelligence (AI)-led Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) was as effective as a traditional human-led program in achieving recommended goals for weight loss, A1c reduction, and physical activity, according to a randomized trial of adults with prediabetes and overweight or obesity. One example of a push notification: "Looks like you're at the grocery store, Rita! Want a quick list of high-fiber snacks or smart swaps to stay on track this week?" The app also provided location- and goal-based education, with gamification elements to promote engagement. Approximately one third of participants in both the AI and human-led groups achieved the primary outcome (31.7% and 31.9%, respectively). Results were consistent across sensitivity analyses and individual components of the composite endpoint. "As more AI-based programs emerge, head-to-head comparisons among different AI-DPPs will be informative. An AI-led approach will not suit everyone; some individuals benefit more from human interaction and accountability," said Mathioudakis, adding that future research should focus on best matching patients to the modalities they prefer. https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/ai-directed-diabetes-prevention-program-effective-human-2025a1000xam XX A new study suggets metformin could help people with type 1, reducing the need for insulin.  The researchers were surprised to find that metformin did not improve insulin resistance or change blood sugar levels. This suggests that, unlike in type 2 diabetes, metformin doesn't combat insulin resistance in type 1 diabetes.   However, metformin did reduce the amount of insulin people needed to keep their blood sugar levels stable.   https://www.the-express.com/news/health/192157/diabetes-medicine-insulin-type-1 XX Beyond Type 1 launches #TheBeyondType campaign in India to combat type 1 diabetes stigma. Nick Jonas is one of the founders of Beyond Type 1, his wife, Priyanka Chopra Jonas is his partner in this new non profit. The initiative highlights inspiring individuals living with T1D and partners with local organisations to improve awareness, medical support, and community networks for affected families across the nation. India has more young people living with T1D than any other nation, yet understanding of the condition remains limited. Beyond Type 1 is partnering with grassroots organisations across high-need regions. These include HRIDAY in Delhi–NCR, Nityaasha Foundation in Pune, Gram Jyoti in Jharkhand, and SAMATVAM Trust in Bangalore—each group focusing on improving awareness, providing medical support and building stronger community networks for young people with T1D.

Ameren Missouri's new rates for data centers are now in effect. But a consumer advocacy group is asking for a redo. St. Louis Public Radio's Kate Grumke explains the case and the latest updates. Plus, Midwest seniors have two options for Medicare coverage– traditional Medicare through the government, or a private Medicare Advantage plan. While Advantage plans cost less up front, experts say seniors could pay the price with their health.

Zak Paine and Adel Nero return after a month away with a rapid-fire deep dive into one of the busiest news cycles in recent memory. They unpack the massive Somali-linked fraud networks exposed in Minnesota, spanning EBT, Medicaid, Medicare, welfare programs, and dirty voter rolls, and explore how the corruption implicates state leadership while triggering nationwide audits that could reshape the entire system. The conversation widens into immigration reform, H1B visa abuse, and the administration's sweeping moves to shut down welfare-based migration. Zak and Adel then break down Trump's viral “retarded” tweet aimed at Tim Walz, the left's meltdown, and the larger narrative war erupting around it. From there, they dig into the long-delayed arrest of the January 6 pipe-bomb suspect, analyzing why the Biden DOJ sat on key evidence for years and what the new investigation signals. The episode closes with sharp commentary on AI, economic disruption, MTG's fallout with Trump, rogue judges undermining policy, and the growing collapse of deep-state funding pipelines, from drug ratlines to NGO grifts.

No other state in the US has Maryland's system of paying for hospital services despite its 50-year existence and the extra $2bn a year it brought. A new agreement between the state and the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services ends the preferential arrangement in 2027. Sunil Dasgupta asks Delegate Bonnie Cullison, Vice-Chair of the Maryland House Health and Government Operations Committee, and Jon Kromm, executive director of the Health Services Cost Review Commission, the state's hospital cost regulatory body, what to expect.

“This is a time to reimagine public health and public health/healthcare system integration,” says Dr. Deb Houry, the former chief medical officer for the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In this thoughtful Raise the Line conversation, Dr. Houry reflects on unprecedented federal action in vaccine guidance and other issues since her noteworthy resignation from the CDC in August, and sees a more decentralized landscape emerging where states and localities play a larger role in providing public health recommendations. And while she acknowledges upsides to this shift, she's also concerned what the absence of a national consensus on health standards could mean. “Diseases don't recognize borders, and it's also important that people have equitable access to preventative services, vaccines, and other things,” she tells host Lindsey Smith. Tune in for Dr. Houry's seasoned perspective on this consequential moment in public health, and her encouraging message for learners and early career providers considering a career in the sector.Mentioned in this episode:DH Leadership & Strategy Solutions If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

在這集的茶時間，我跟如如終於在台灣相聚，實體錄下久違的閒聊。從錄音現場的突發狀況開始，我們一路聊到美國醫療體系的真實樣貌，包括健保制度、看診流程、保險選擇，以及心理諮商的可近性。 主持人 Ping 以多年醫療口譯經驗，分享從病患、醫療人員到制度層面的第一手觀察：為什麼美國看醫生這麼貴？為什麼同一個城市不同保險給的醫療品質差這麼多？自付額到底怎麼算？心理諮商怎麼挑、費用如何依收入調整？ 我們也討論了美國與台灣在醫病關係、看診速度、隱私保護、轉診制度、領藥方式上的差異；以及為何中低收入但不符合公共保險資格的人，往往承受最大的壓力。 最後，也從心理健康與信仰的角度出發，談談諮商能提供的協助，以及如何在心理工具與信仰生活間找到平衡。 如果你對美國醫療、心理諮商、跨文化生活或醫療制度差異感到好奇，這集會給你非常完整的第一手視角 想瞭解科州的低收入健保 Medicaid https://www.healthfirstcolorado.com/apply-now/do-you-qualify 老年健保 Medicare https://www.medicare.gov/ 單集大綱 00:00 哈拉 & 簡介 11:11 醫療分流與門診、健保制度 20:11 台美醫療文化差異：隱私、時間 30:06 心理諮商 37:14 外籍人士、僑胞為什麼回國看病、配眼鏡、結語 如果你喜歡這個單集，我推薦這些相關單集給你。 ➡️ Ep111 近況報告｜Ping ➡️ Ep100 國際學生在美國/教育行政只是理想？/研究之後呢？ ft.

GLP-1 drugs that are commonly used to treat diabetes and obesity, like Ozempic and Wegovy – are in big demand. And they’re going to be more affordable. The Trump administration recently negotiated deals to lower the prices of these drugs. It seems like some details still need to be ironed out…. but from the looks of it, many Americans who use Medicare will be able to access GLP-1s at a fraction of their original cost. According to one of the deals, some Medicare patients will be able to get GLP-1s for a $50 copay. So it’s safe to assume as costs come down, these drugs are only going to get even more popular…. And we want to know more about them. In this latest “ask a doctor” segment, we’re asking two physicians to answer all of our burning questions. GUESTS: Dr. Scott Hagan, an associate professor of medicine at the University of Washington School of Medicine, who studies obesity. Dr. Mara Gordon, a family physician based in Philadelphia. She also writes about the culture of medicine and authors the “Real Talk With a Doc” column for NPR.

It's News Day Tuesday on the Majority Report On today's show: It's election day in Tennessee's 7th Congressional District, and if you live there, make sure you get out and vote for Aftyn Behn. Aftyn Behn highlights the contrast between her public, open-to-all campaign events and those of her opponent, Matt Van Epps, who has been hosting gatherings behind locked gates at his mansion. Donald Trump calls into a rally with a last-minute pitch for Matt Van Epps, claiming that Behn "hates Christianity." Aftyn appears on NewsNation to make her final case, pledging to protect Medicaid, Medicare, and ACA subsidies, and to fight the affordability crisis facing her district. Jasper Nathaniel, publisher of Infinite Jaz on Substack joins Sam and Emma to provide an update on his return from reporting in the West Bank. In the Fun Half: Pete Hegseth is passing the buck over to his Rear Admiral as he denies ordering the strikes even though he said on Fox News in September that he was watching the strike live as it went down. Chris Murphy believes that at the very least Pete Hegseth committed a war crime but more likely he just committed plain, old murder. JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon says that they are not interested in contributing to the White House ballroom over concerns of how the next DOJ will feel about the pay-to-play behavior in the Trump administration. Trump went on a manic posting spree on Truth Social late last night. Posing hundreds of times over the course of two hours. As a result of Trump's late night scrolling he is left exhausted and falling asleep at a meeting. During the meeting he woke up to declare affordability a "democrat scam" On Democracy Now, Spencer Akerman makes the point that the Afghani shooter was turned into a child soldier by the CIA when he was 14. In discussion of the murder of the National Guard, the PBD crew continue their mission of finding the dumbest possible take on any issue. Andrew Cuomo complains that Curtis Sliwa cost him the election despite the fact that Zohran won over 50% of the vote. All that and more. The Congress switchboard number is (202) 224-3121.

This week on Red, White & Bruised: Tennessee's 7th District special election is somehow competitive in a Trump +22 district, and it's all thanks to Aftyn Behn, a progressive state rep who won't apologize for hating bachelorette parties or fighting corporate tax dodgers. We break down why her campaign is the blueprint Democrats need and why Republicans are in full panic mode.Then: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth allegedly ordered the military to "kill everybody" on a suspected drug boat, leading to a second strike on survivors—which is, you know, a war crime. Robin dissects the messy timeline, the conflicting White House stories, and why this scandal is just getting started.Plus: Luigi Mangione is back in court fighting to suppress evidence in the UnitedHealthcare CEO murder case, and his legal battle is revealing uncomfortable truths about America's broken healthcare system and why so many people can't condemn a murder without adding "but I understand why." And finally: Trump's revenge prosecution of James Comey spectacularly collapses after a federal judge rules the prosecutor's appointment was unconstitutional. Schadenfreude at its finest. Grab your coffee (or wine) and let's go.----------------Keywords: Aftyn Behn, Tennessee special election, 7th Congressional District, Pete Hegseth, war crimes, double-tap strikes, Caribbean strikes, Luigi Mangione, UnitedHealthcare CEO, Brian Thompson, James Comey, Trump administration, political revenge, DOJ indictment, progressive politics, left-leaning podcast, economic populism, healthcare reform, Medicare for All, corporate taxes, Nashville politics, constitutional law, Pam Bondi, political persecution, military law, Geneva Conventions, illegal orders, drug interdiction, weaponized DOJ, Matt Van Epps, Lindsey Halligan, Mark Kelly, Letitia James, Kash Patel, insurance industry, CEO murder, activist candidate, constitutional crisis, political commentary, snarky politics, political analysis, 2025 politics, Red White and Bruised, progressive podcast, Trump revenge, Democratic strategy, special election, Tennessee politicsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/we-saw-the-devil-a-true-crime-podcast--4433638/support.Website: http://www.wesawthedevil.comPatreon: http://www.patreon.com/wesawthedevilDiscord: https://discord.gg/X2qYXdB4Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/WeSawtheDevilInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/wesawthedevilpodcast.
