On this week's conversation Paul and Wally discuss MLG's sudden call for $250 taxpayer rebates. Paul welcomes the news since RGF is the ONLY organization in New Mexico to have argued in favor of them. $250 is on the low side. Sen. Munoz says he wants to reduce income taxes, but where's he been?    Another story (this one from KRQE) details the decline of NM's film industry.   NM government: spend more money, fail, wash, rinse, repeat.   MLG's emergencies are expensive in many ways, not just her COVID destruction.   Voices for Children (as usual) gets it completely wrong on NM's economic incentives, specifically the LFC's report on them.   Paul provides a brief recap of the Foundation's event with Tim Sandefur and reflects on 250 years of American independence.

In a shocking conversation, the speaker shares a government-run nursing home, where residents are limited to a meager 2.8 ounces of beef per week. This sparks a broader discussion about the treatment of baby boomers and the growing trend of climate alarmism in politics. This episode delves into the world of climate activism and the ways in which it's being used to justify radical policies. The speaker shares a story about a Danish politician who advocated for restricting meat intake among elderly residents in government-run nursing homes, citing climate change as the reason. This sparks a heated debate about the treatment of baby boomers and the growing trend of climate alarmism in politics. The speaker also discusses a recent program in Denver, Colorado, where residents can receive rebates of up to $900 on e-bikes, but only those below the area median income qualify. This raises questions about the fairness of the program and the ways in which it's being used to justify public subsidies for certain industries. The speaker argues that this is just one example of how the government is using climate language to justify wealth redistribution and the favoring of certain groups over others. If you're concerned about the growing trend of climate alarmism and the ways in which it's being used to justify radical policies, tune in to this episode to hear the speaker's thoughts on the matter. They'll explore the implications of this trend and what it means for our society.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Milk cooling is one of the biggest energy users on a dairy. Inefficient systems force compressors to run longer and harder, driving up energy costs. That's a message that resonated with Jordan Matthews from Rosy Lane Holsteins in Watertown. This dairy operation milks about 1,600 cows across two sites. The Watertown (Main Farm) site houses all calving operations, high-production cows, and wet calves through six months. The Paoli (Second Site) is a rented milking facility that manages around 700 pregnant and late-lactation cows. Two very different setups, but both rely on dependable milk cooling systems. Listen in as Terry Pernsteiner, Focus on Energy Advisor, explains the routine examination that Rosy Lane Holsteins goes through to keep their equipment working well. Through the team of professionals that Focus on Energy works with, there's actually very little for the farm to do except collect the rebates and savings. Pernsteiner explains what happens. If you're a busy dairy operator or someone involved in production agriculture, isn't there a motor, fan, compressor or some other electric device that might need a tune up.

If you've ever wondered why your deductible feels like a brick wall while insurers tout “savings,” this conversation goes straight to the source. Nathan Kaufman sits down with Mark Cuban to pull apart how PBMs and insurers shape drug prices, hide rebates, and use denials as financial float—while patients and providers pay the price. It's a rare, unfiltered tour through the pharmacy supply chain, medical loss ratio math, and the perverse incentives that keep care costly and complicated.We dig into the real-world fallout for physicians and hospitals: Medicare's stagnant updates, shadow-priced commercial contracts, and the administrative churn that drives independent practices into the arms of health systems or private equity. Mark challenges the industry to think like a startup—publish prices, strip out unnecessary vendors, and pay clinicians more with transparent, fixed margins. He shares why GPOs often inflate costs, how a virtual wholesaler model can save millions on injectables and specialty meds, and what happens when leadership manages silos instead of the whole enterprise.Then we get tactical. Imagine a standardized claim process across payers and a new financing model that replaces premium fights with unlimited HSAs plus government-backed medical loans pegged to Medicare rates. Pair that with direct contracts that pay providers quickly, no prior auth, no denials, and zero out-of-pocket for employees using posted agreements. Add agentic AI to audit thousands of contracts, verify invoices, and stop leakage dimes at a time—and a clearer path emerges: fewer middlemen, faster pay, better outcomes. Along the way, we confront uncomfortable truths about facility fees, subprime patient financing, and why breaking up insurance conglomerates or forcing divestiture of non-insurance assets could restore real competition.If you care about practical reform—transparent pricing, direct contracting, real outcomes data, and technology that kills waste—this is your playbook.

What happens when someone who's spent decades inside the lighting industry's machinery gets straight to it? In this episode of LytePOD, host Sam Koerbel sits down with Geoff Marlow, a veteran consultant and industry strategist who has witnessed firsthand the seismic shifts reshaping architectural lighting—from the rise of LED technology to the relentless wave of consolidation, private equity takeovers, and the erosion of relationships that once held this industry together. Geoff walks through what he calls TTO—the convergence of talent scarcity, technical complexity, and the shift from products to outcomes—and explains why the industry's failure to address these forces is creating chaos across every layer of the supply chain. He reveals why manufacturers, reps, distributors, and designers are all pointing fingers at each other's margins while missing the bigger picture: the process itself is broken. Projects are treated as linear when they're actually iterative. Relationships are treated as poetry when they need to be built on definitive, measurable trust. And consolidation—whether it's reps buying reps, manufacturers buying manufacturers, or private equity rolling up portfolios—keeps failing because purpose is missing. But this isn't just a diagnosis. It's a call to action. Geoff argues that the industry needs to move from inductive chaos to deductive clarity—starting with outcomes, not guesswork. Those margin dollars aren't owed, they're earned. That partnership isn't owed, it's earned. That enthusiasm isn't owed, it's earned. And that if the industry can't create a shared language, a shared purpose, and a shared commitment to solving problems together, it will continue to eat itself from the inside out.

To participate, please go to 340bpodcast.org/survey.January was set to be the first month of a new 340B rebate pilot program, marking a seismic shift in how the drug discount program functions. But a flurry of court activity just before and after the new year put a sudden pause on the rebate program and left the future of the rebate pilot in question. Amanda Nagrotsky, vice president of legal and policy with 340B Health, joins the show to fill us in on the latest.HRSA Pauses Rebate Implementation After Court RulingIn late December, a federal court in Maine issued a ruling that temporarily blocks the Health Resources & Services Administration (HRSA) from moving forward with the 340B rebate pilot. HRSA then announced it was pausing the pilot and instructed drug companies to continue providing 340B pricing through the traditional upfront discount model. Nagrotsky says the judge found that hospitals had demonstrated a high likelihood of irreversible harm if rebates went forward.Government Appeals, Then ReconsidersImmediately after the ruling, HRSA unsuccessfully argued to the Maine court and an appeals court that the agency still should be able to implement the 340B rebate pilot program while it appealed the initial ruling. After the courts denied that request, the government agreed to voluntarily dismiss its appeal and said it would reconsider its rebate program approvals. Nagrotsky stresses that it is unclear what this means. It could mean the government might overhaul or scrap the rebate program, or it might issue revised approval notices to better explain the rebates' purpose and address concerns of potential harm to 340B hospitals.Medicare Maximum Fair Price Provisions Still Take EffectDespite the legal questions surrounding the 340B rebate pilot program, new Medicare maximum fair price (MFP) provisions did take effect at the beginning of January for the drugs that would have been subject to the rebates. Nagrotsky says that while 340B still can be used for these drugs, covered entities are not entitled to MFP refunds from drug companies in those scenarios. She recommends hospitals closely track expected MFP rebates to identify any missing refunds for claims that did not use 340B drugs.ResourcesDismissal of Appeal Sets Stage for HRSA Reconsideration of 340B Rebates

To participate, please go to 340bpodcast.org/survey.With monumental movement on 340B rebates, changes in Medicare and Medicaid payments, and evolving audit priorities, 2025 has been a transformative year in the world of 340B. We sit down with 340B Health Senior Manager of Policy and Compliance Rebecca Swartz to chronicle some of the biggest developments of such an eventful year and forecast what to expect in 2026.Rebates Take ShapeSwartz says 2025 will go down as the year that a rebate model shifted from a hypothetical approach pushed by drugmakers into a fully developed model with implementation criteria. The Health Resources & Services Administration (HRSA) approved plans for 340B rebate models set to take effect in January for nine of 10 drugs subject to the 2026 Medicare maximum fair prices. Rebates for the remaining drug on that list will kick in April 1. Swartz discusses how hospitals should prepare for this pilot program, which is set to upend decades of established 340B operations and impose intense financial and logistical burdens on safety-net hospitals nationwide.Medicaid, IRA Changes Set To Impact 340B HospitalsThis year also saw massive changes to Medicaid funding as well as Medicare pay changes under the implementation of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). Swartz says these developments are projected to shrink safety-net hospital margins even further. Renewed congressional focus is putting 340B in a high-profile spot, with potentially significant implications for the program and hospitals in the coming months.2026 Tips for HospitalsSwartz says she's identified two areas as more of a focus for HRSA audits this year: expanded scrutiny of offsite and on-site trial balances and the ways covered entities list shipping addresses. To prepare for possible shakeups in 2026, she recommends that covered entities begin and maintain cross-functional planning across departments and closely monitor denials, delays, and other costs from new rebate programs in addition to monitoring wholesale acquisition cost (WAC) changes and contract pharmacy developments.Resources340B Health Year-in-Review Webinar: 2025 Highlights and What's on the Horizon
