Yet reason 1,283,873 NOT to use Amazon for your healthcare. Doc alleges she was fired for raising patient safety concerns.
Amazon should be treated no differently than a private equity group buying out a hospital. They paid 3.9 billion for that system and now like with a private equity acquisition its $$$$$ profits over people as the wring every bit of money out of that place then will walk away leaving shattered lives and a empty hulk of where a medical practice used to be.
Study after study demonstrates worse outcomes after this happens (see next reply)

🇨🇦 Hey, Canada! This is what our Conservative politicians want for our country!
AFTER insurance, $465.00 US for One doctor's appointment!
Can't possibly happen here? I'm sure Americans thought the same. -

Neil deGrasse Tyson's StarTalk Podcast - February 28, 2026
"How did we go from digital computers to AI seemingly everywhere? Neil deGrasse Tyson, Chuck Nice, & Gary O’Reilly dive into the mechanics of thinking, how AI got its start, and what deep learning really means with cognitive and computer scientist, Nobel Laureate, and one of the architects of AI, Geoffrey Hinton."Hinton explains the fundamental shift from logic-based rule programming to the biological approach: building systems that learn the way a brain does. Learn about the history of computer science that led to the breakthroughs we have today. We break down the structure of artificial neural networks and the meaning of AI buzzwords like “deep learning” really mean. You’ll learn about the layering of data processing and how the first layer of neurons might detect a simple edge, the second a beak, and the third a bird’s head."
Apologies for going overboard with the mentions and hashtags, but this was one deep podcast and there were a lot of topics covered that are relevant to AI:

New NIH Announcement Just Made It Easier To Terminate Grant Funding – Forbes.com
New NIH Announcement Just Made It Easier To Terminate Grant Funding
ByBruce Y. Lee, Senior Contributor. Bruce Y. Lee, M.D., MBA, covers health, medicine, wellness and science.
Nov 23, 2025, 07:31am EST, Nov 23, 2025, 09:56pm EST
Editor’s Note: Featured image at top is from WP AI.
So, you’ve put your blood, sweat and tears into a proposal to do some kind of prevent-or-treat-disease and find-ways-to-help-humans project. And somehow against worsening now well-below-10% odds you’ve managed to get your project funded by the National Institutes of Health. What would you most like to hear? How about news that the NIH under the Trump administration has just made it even easier to terminate your research grant at any time?
NIH Issued Updated Terms And Conditions Of Awards
Yep, on November 18, 2025, the NIH issued an “Updated Terms and Conditions of Awards.” These updated terms did include fairly standard language like “By accepting an NIH award, the recipient agrees that continued funding for the award is contingent upon the availability of appropriated funds, recipient satisfactory performance, compliance with the Terms and Conditions of the award.” It’s always been the case that grant funding can be withdrawn if fraud or abuse occur or the recipient isn’t really doing any acceptable scientific work with the funding.
However, there also were two kickers, as in things that could end up kicking you in the behind if you don’t notice it. It’s the combination of two sentences. One reads, “All new NIH Notices of Award will include the following terms.” The second reads, “[The award] may also otherwise be terminated, to the extent authorized by law, if the agency determines that the award no longer effectuates the program goals or agency priorities, in line with 2 CFR 200.340(a)(4).” These may seem like small changes. But sometimes small things can end up causing big issues.
You may have noticed the word “effectuate” at the center of that second statement and be wondering what the eff that means. Well, Dictionary.com does define “effectuate” as “to bring about,” which doesn’t quite effectuate clarity. Effectuate isn’t a word that you necessarily see or use everyday. Like you probably don’t typically tell someone taking your order at a restaurant, “Could you please effectuate for me a hamburger, fries and a fruitcake?” And if you were to tell your significant other, “You are no longer effectuating my priorities,” that might effectuate a middle finger to you.
The other vague thing in the statement is the whole “program goals or agency priorities” thing. How exactly will these goals and priorities be defined? Will they be clearly listed somewhere? How might they change after you get the award? Does this feel a bit like, “We’ll keep funding you as long as we feel like doing so?” I’m reaching out to my contacts at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the NIH to bring about—or, er, effectuate—more clarity on the situation.
Now the combination of the two statements is notable in that based on the 2 C.F.R. § 200.340, in the words on the Holland and Knight law firm website “the government is unable to unilaterally terminate an award for this purpose for grants awarded after Oct. 1, 2024, unless the parties specifically included this as an express termination provision in the grant award itself.” So, now this new NIH announcement is indicating that the whole ”effectuating” thing is going to be baked directly into each actual grant award’s Terms and Conditions.
The New Terms And Conditions May Make Make It Easier For The NIH To Terminate Grants
One big concern is that such vagueness right in the award’s Terms and Conditions might give NIH administrators and whatever Presidential administration happens to be overseeing NIH at the time even more leeway to justify yanking your federal funding at any time. The Trump administration has been doing a lot of the premature termination thing since January 2025, as I’ve described in Forbes. This has included terminating or partially terminating grants that have been producing what the investigators had originally indicated they would produce. The justification often used for such terminations has been that the funded projects no longer matched the priorities of the NIH as guided by the Executive Orders signed by President Donald Trump earlier this year.

able to keep their previous provider. Side note: the hoops, jeez.
That's one data point the scammers don't seem to have.
Anyhow, this f***ing sucks.
And does CoveredCA have a fraud contact for the public?
Doesn't look like it. And I don't fault them because our healthcare system is so f***ed that patients can't distinguish legit from dodgy anyway.
Long story short, #fedihelp me. Know a contact? DM me, thx.
Oh, the insurer? Good luck with getting a human on the phone.

I got an email from Stand Up For Science inviting me to send a "Quack-o-gram" to my representative for $3.
Stand Up For Science will hand deliver a rubber ducky and the serious message "KENNEDY MUST GO" to your member of Congress, all for less than the cost of a latte.
I call that a deal. 😂 🦆

"On Friday, the U.S. Office of Personnel Management issued a memo announcing that, beginning in 2026, all federal employee health plans will be barred from covering gender-affirming care—including hormone therapy and gender-affirming surgeries—for both transgender youth and adults. The sweeping prohibition affects health benefits for more than 10 million federal workers and their family members, marking one of the largest rollbacks of transgender healthcare access in U.S. history. Even more disturbing, the memo mandates that insurers cover “faith-based counseling” for transgender individuals, otherwise known as conversion therapy. Taken together, the provisions appear designed not just to strip access to necessary medical care, but to coerce federal workers into detransitioning or leaving public service altogether."#Transgender #NonBinary #Heathcare
