It's hump day and as it so happens technical hiccup day. But don't worry, we got some scotch tape and paperclips and have McGyvered this thing for now. Republicans in Congress are doing what they can to push their massive tax cut through reconciliation, and you'll never get who's gonna benefit from that (it's rich people). To make it happen, Republicans are now trying to sneak in cuts to Medicare. We talk first to Singrid Steinmetz, an ICU nurse and a member of the California Nurses Association, which represents nearly 2,200 at Long Beach Medical Center who will be striking tomorrow. Here's the contact info for LBMC in case you want to tell management there to support it's nurses: https://www.memorialcare.org/locations/long-beach-medical-center After that, we hear from The Guardian U.S. investigative reporter George Joseph about his stunning new piece out today about how United Health Care has secretly paid nursing homes that helped it gain Medicare enrollees and reduced hospitalizations: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/may/21/unitedhealth-nursing-homes-payments-hospital-transfers  In the Fun Half, Emma, Sam and Matt respond to Skelator look-alike Rick Scott trying to make the case for making cuts to Medicaid by arguing that if you want health care in America you should have to work for it. Steve Scalise is singing the same tune. Bernie went on Andrew Schulz's show and managed to get him and his bros to acknowledge the problem of inequality and the absurdity of being the only industrialized country in the world without guaranteed health care. Also, Andrew Cuomo talks to Bari Weiss about what's ailing Democratic-run cities and states (hint, he blames the left) and he seems to be pushing an Abundance™ style agenda.

UnitedHealth Group (UHG) stock is plummeting following the abrupt resignation of its CEO Andrew Witty. His sudden departure, coming on Tuesday, May 13, came amid multiple lawsuits and threatened actions by private, state, and federal agencies across the country, and amid massive criticism for the company's tendency to deny beneficiaries coverage for services at elevated rates.Witty's exit from the giant payer – a long-time dominant force related to revenue cycle, provider staffing, utilization, and managed and commercial health insurance plans – seems to have rattled many in America's sprawling health delivery system.

The $84 billion question haunting American healthcare takes center stage as Nathan Kaufman returns to unpack the bombshell criminal investigation into UnitedHealthcare's alleged Medicare fraud. Drawing from his 48 years of healthcare expertise, Kaufman reveals the troubling mechanics behind how the nation's largest insurer potentially manipulated the Medicare Advantage system through aggressive "upcoding" – artificially inflating patient illness scores to extract higher government payments.This eye-opening conversation exposes the stark reality that UnitedHealthcare somehow generated a staggering 95% of all Medicare Advantage profits in 2024, raising serious questions about their operational practices compared to competitors. We dive deep into the company's concerning denial patterns, where approximately one in ten Medicare Advantage claims gets rejected, yet when patients fight back, 70-80% of appeals succeed – suggesting many initial denials lack merit.Beyond the investigation itself, we explore the fundamental conflict at the heart of our healthcare system: the misaligned incentives that reward denying care rather than providing it. As Kaufman aptly describes healthcare as "the largest segment of the largest economy in the history of the world," we confront the uncomfortable truth that 24 cents of every federal dollar now flows into a system that too often prioritizes corporate profits over patient wellbeing. Whether you're concerned about healthcare costs, insurance practices, or the future of Medicare and Medicaid, this conversation offers crucial insights into how the complexity and opacity of our healthcare system benefits powerful interests while leaving patients vulnerable.

Send us a textSecurity regulations are changing dramatically in response to major breaches, and the implications for cybersecurity professionals are profound. Sean Gerber kicks off this episode with a career announcement, sharing his transition to independent consulting after 13 years with his previous employer—a move that highlights the evolving opportunities in the cybersecurity field.The heart of this episode examines the recent UnitedHealthcare breach, where attackers targeted Change Healthcare, a critical system processing 15 billion healthcare transactions annually. The February ransomware attack led to a $22 million ransom payment and disrupted approximately half of all pharmacy operations across the United States. This incident serves as a perfect case study in critical infrastructure vulnerability and has triggered a significant regulatory response from the Biden administration, which is now promising "tough, mandatory cybersecurity standards" for the healthcare industry.What does this mean for security professionals? Potentially stricter oversight, increased financial penalties, and perhaps most concerning—explicit executive liability for security failures. As Sean notes, these developments create an increasingly complex landscape where CISOs must navigate not just technical challenges but also regulatory expectations that might lack technical nuance.The episode transitions into a comprehensive examination of CISSP exam questions covering Domain 3.6, focusing on message integrity, digital signatures, and cryptographic hashing functions. Through fifteen detailed questions and answers, Sean breaks down essential concepts like the difference between checksums and hashing functions, the evolution from SHA-1 to more secure algorithms, and the role of certificate authorities in public key infrastructure. These technical foundations aren't just academic—they're the building blocks of systems that, when implemented correctly, prevent exactly the kind of breach that hit UnitedHealthcare.Ready to deepen your understanding of message integrity and prepare for the CISSP exam?

Former healthcare executive Wendell Potter reveals how insurance giants sacrifice patient care for profits and deploy deceptive tactics to fight reform.Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1151What We Discuss with Wendell Potter:Wendell Potter was a healthcare insurance executive at Cigna and Humana, and became a whistleblower after witnessing Americans seeking healthcare at a fairground in animal stalls, revealing how profit motives override patient care.Insurance companies prioritize shareholder value over patient needs, with executives compensated primarily in stock, directly incentivizing them to deny claims and care to maximize profits.Companies create "front groups" with misleading names like "Healthcare America" to manipulate public opinion against healthcare reform, using fear tactics to protect industry profits.When denied coverage, patients should appeal decisions, enlist their doctors' help, and consider becoming a "squeaky wheel" through media attention, as companies often reverse denials when facing public scrutiny.There is growing bipartisan support for healthcare reform and breaking up massive healthcare conglomerates. By understanding your rights, documenting communications, and persistently appealing denials, you can better navigate the system while supporting meaningful change.And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!

UnitedHealthcare is facing a lawsuit claiming it defrauded shareholders — by denying fewer claims but not warning ahead of time that its profits would decline. The nation's largest health insurer has been under heightened scrutiny following the killing of its then-CEO in New York late last year. And later: President Donald Trump is expected to announce a trade deal with Britain, and consumer advocate Ralph Nader reflects on the drawbacks of going cashless.

After losing both her sister and a close friend to cancer in the same year, Carissa Rollins knew she couldn't stay where she was. As CIO of UnitedHealthcare, she had scale and power, but not proximity to the technology that might have changed those outcomes. So when the call came from Illumina, a company pioneering genomic sequencing, she listened. And then she leapt. In this episode of Inspiring Women with Laurie McGraw, Carissa shares how grief reshaped her career and how purpose—not title—has always been her compass. She talks candidly about what it means to walk away from the “biggest job of your life” to chase deeper impact, and how she's now using her insider knowledge of the payer system to open doors for patients who would otherwise be left out of the genomic revolution. Carissa also reflects on the turning points that built her leadership style—from writing a three-page letter to fight for a promotion, to insisting on coaching even when her boss said she didn't need it. She's quick to credit the mentors who pulled her forward—but equally passionate about pulling others up behind her. “Why are you sitting in the back?” she recalls asking one young woman. “Your voice is important.” Now at Illumina, she's helping her teams think critically about how AI can reduce burnout—not by cutting jobs, but by removing outdated, burdensome processes and freeing people to do more meaningful work. It's a nuanced, systems-based view that resists the hype and centers on impact. You'll also hear Carissa speak on: Why she sees restlessness as a sign it's time to grow The alarming drop in women in tech—and what we can do about it How the Grand Canyon Conservancy helps her stay grounded (and where she thinks tech could help the parks) What it really takes to make space at the table—and why women can't afford to close the door behind them This conversation is full of hard-earned wisdom, honest reflections, and a fierce belief in using every ounce of power to move others forward.

Article headline featured in Medicare Advantage Minute: Doctors say, "Dealing with Health Insurance is only getting Worse"! The sad story of an ophthalmologist who was driven to despair and forced to sell his practice in order to cope with the extra work caused by insurance requirements. In "Your Medicare Benefits 2024" we learn how Medicare is likely to cover routine foot care plus foot care for diabetics. Then we recount the facts in the heinous murder of Brian Thompson, the 50-year-old CEO of United Healthcare who was gunned down in Manhattan in cold blood. HIPPA: Huge boondoggle adding extra cost to Medical care and enriching shysters everywhere! The cost of this Kennedy-fostered monstrosity is not worth the "privacy" people have been brainwashed into thinking is so imperative: one Medicare specialist's opinion.

Lots of chat about Dr. Oz and his plans for the future of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. Unfortunately, the articles I prepared fell into what might be a bottomless pit.  In the Medicare Advantage Minute, Democrats sent a nasty letter to Dr. Oz questioning his support for Medicare Advantage and criticizing his substantial holdings in the biggest MA slut: United HealthCare. From the pages of "Your Medicare Benefits 2024" we learn the short story of how Medicare covers flu shots. CMS (the Federal Government) in a magnificent return to sanity ordered that questions catering to Binary, non-Binary and other confused individuals be stricken from Medicare Advantage applications. Finally, a listener whose wife must have badgered him mercilessly, asked whether gym memberships were an included freebie with their Medicare supplement plan. My answer was that a competing product had the benefit they seek but there would be an endless amount of paperwork and insurance foolishness to deal with. He decided to shine it on and hope that his wife forgets the whole thing. We'll see!

Steve Rick, chief economist at TruStage, says that he has lowered his forecast for economic growth to 0.5 percent, while raising his forecast for inflation to 3.5 percent; that combination means stagflation, and it's starting to happen now and could turn into recession if the growth slowdown is worse than expected. Rick notes that "No one wins trade wars" and notes that if the current situation plays out into one, that trade problems triggering huge downturns would seem to be a classic 100-year event. While he says the damage can be averted if economic policy changes are softened or mitigated, Rick says he worries that the impacts of current events could last as long or longer than the economic impacts of Covid. Howard Silverblatt, senior index analyst at S&P Dow Jones Indices, discusses the unprecedented action in the Dow Jones Industrial Average on April 17, when United Healthcare dropped 22 percent and, by itself, caused a big drop in the benchmark. He analyzes what that means for the Dow as a benchmark, but also talks index construction — and how investors should consider benchmarks — in light of the rapid growth of the Mag 7 stocks relative to the rest of the market. Plus Chuck answers a listener's question about how to sell some gold coins they received as an inheritance.

The murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson revealed two horrific aspects of American life: A healthcare executive was shot dead, and because he was a healthcare executive, people cheered. Why? Because many feel our health system is broken. Tonight, Dr. Phil explores how a fractured health care system has affected American lives. Angela says after her husband was diagnosed with Stage 4 stomach cancer, their health insurance company refused to cover a necessary procedure to save his life. Kay was diagnosed with breast cancer at age 35, and she never imagined she'd spend 10 years trying to get health insurance to approve needed treatments. Brigham Buhler worked a pharmacy rep for Ely Lilly, but left the industry when he could see how companies prioritized profits over patient access to life savings medications. He now has his own healthcare company, Ways2Well, focusing on prevention.  Dr. Bill Hennessey worked as a physical medicine and rehabilitation physician for years, dealing with frustrated patients who were given delays and denials from health insurance companies. He left to create his own company, Careguide, to help others navigate the healthcare system.

The alleged murder of Austin Metcalf has exposed a dangerous "culture of death" on the Left, exemplified by a Dallas activist with a criminal history defending the alleged killer while attacking the victim's father. Glenn connects this to a broader left-wing transformation, citing figures like Taylor Lorenz and Elizabeth Warren's failure to condemn violence, including the assassination of the CEO of UnitedHealthcare. A radical essay, “When Must We Kill Them,” reflects the Left's growing justification of violence against political foes. Glenn draws on the Passover story to call for a spiritual and cultural awakening to save the nation. CBN investigative journalist Billy Hallowell joins to discuss his transformative documentary series "Miracles," which explores stories of divine intervention, like how a man who was dead for 40 minutes came back to life. Maryland Democrat Senator Chris Van Hollen's meeting with deportee Kilmar Abrego Garcia in El Salvador was mocked by President Bukele as a stunt of "sipping margaritas.” Glenn shares an inspiring message for Easter 2025.
