"EFF sued the government back in March for information about the Wasteful and Inappropriate Service Reduction (WISeR) model, a new Medicare program that uses AI to evaluate prior authorization requests for certain medical services. Today, we’re releasing approximately 1,000 pages of records obtained from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) through this litigation, including contracts with tech companies, internal status reports and providers’ complaints about the program. The documents (available here) show that WISeR has resulted in widespread delays and denials of care, operational chaos, and reports of patient harm."

In my rural state of #Vemont, and I presume others, all the #hospitals have ceased to operate birthing centers and #OBGYN clinics due to the Big Beautiful Budget elimination of #Medicaid and imminent scrapping, at years' end, to the #Medicare reimbursements upon which hospitals have also been made to rely, while the Private #Insurance (reimbursement-collection & service-denial) Industry has been greenlighted to raise premiums out of reach for a third to half of households while remaining nonresponsible for any such coverage.

For folks on Medicare or about to be, DO NOT be tempted to call Chapter for "free Medicare advice". It was co-founded by Vivek Ramaswamy and:
"The startup has at least historical links to the Trump administration, including to current Vice President JD Vance and tech billionaire Peter Thiel, who helped fuel Vance's rise in politics. Narya Capital, which Vance founded before leaving to run for office, led Chapter's Series A funding; Thiel has invested in the company, and at one time, held a seat on the board, according to TechCrunch.
Blumenfeld-Gantz said Vance has no involvement in Chapter.
It's worth noting Ramaswamy was previously involved with the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), along with Tesla CEO Elon Musk, which critics say could affect Medicare's ability to perform business as usual."

Back in 2005, the guy I was living with at the time told me about a method for relieving stress based on meridian points like acupuncture or acupressure. it's called EFT or Tapping.
I've used it irregularly over the years, and sometimes it's been incredibly helpful and other times helpful in a minor way.
Imagine my surprise when this weird thing you do - tapping on different acupuncture points on your face and hands and upper body - is now covered by Medicare.
In the 20+ years that I've been using it there have been hundreds of studies that show that EFT actually works, not just qualitative studies but also quantitative study using MRIs and others using measurements of cortisol to indicate stress levels. In other words, it's weird but as far as we can tell it's valid.
I don't talk about it a lot because again, it's pretty weird and a lot of people think I'm weird enough. But if you are a senior living in the US, covered by Medicare, you might be interested in looking this information over. I'm not proselytizing, but I do feel it's important enough to share.
In my experience, it helps with pain, it helps with anxiety.
If you have questions feel free to ask me. If you're a jerk about it, you'll be blocked.
"Medicare has a new program called the ACCESS Model. In plain terms, it's Medicare paying for digital health programs that help people with certain conditions, the same way it pays for other care. NeuroTap Health is a participant. So for eligible adults with Original Medicare, Medicare pays for the program."

this is why, when i was blogging full time, i was barely acknowledged by the white feminists who got to get sponsored by NOW and were wined and dined by Gloria Steinem and Hillary Clinton.
the feminism of unionized stay-at-home moms fighting for MORE #welfare, for #UBI, for #medicare for all wasn’t the type of sexy feministing of hegemonic girl bosses.
so yeah. let the memory of Gloria Steinem rot in nevermore.
today, let Domitila light your revolutionary fires

America Already Pays for Medicare for All—Wall Street Keeps the Difference

Trump at Easter lunch today: "Don't send any money for daycare. The United States can't take care of daycare." He added Medicaid/Medicare are state responsibilities. Federal government's only job: military. White House broadcast it live then made private. Context: Judge blocked his federal daycare funding freeze yesterday. 1.4 million children's families get federal child care subsidies

"Why should you receive #Medicare if you are able-bodied [able to work/volunteer 80 hours a month]?" - VA Gov Winsome Earle-Sears (R) defending cutting people off Medicare.
MAYBE the only reason people can work/volunteer "80 hours a month" is BECAUSE they are receiving Medicare? 🤔

Hi everyone. How are you tonight?
It’s been a rough few months, and I wanted to share an update since I haven’t posted in a while.
A few months ago, I was officially diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis, something we’ve suspected for a while, so it was nice to finally get confirmation. My rheumatologist started me on Methotrexate, and that’s when things took a turn for the worse.
I was prescribed 6 tablets once a week and took them for 6 weeks. But I started getting extremely sick with flu-like symptoms, worsened gastroparesis, painful sores all over my body, and more. When we looked up Methotrexate side effects, I had around 20 of the ones that say to seek medical attention immediately.
We later found out that, due to my other health conditions, I should never have been prescribed Methotrexate in the first place. I also should’ve been monitored weekly, which wasn’t happening. Things got so bad we nearly went to the hospital several times, but since I’m immunocompromised and Methotrexate suppresses the immune system, we were afraid I’d catch something in the ER.
We tried contacting my doctors, but no one responded. So we stopped the medication ourselves. It’s been about 3 weeks since I stopped, and I’m still recovering, but I’m slowly getting stronger. Unfortunately, my RA is flaring badly in my hands and feet since it’s currently untreated.
A few days ago, I did end up going to the hospital because I wasn’t improving. They found my blood sugar was dangerously high, diagnosed me with diabetes, gave me fluids, and discharged me. Ironically, I started feeling better the next day. Now we’re unsure if I truly have diabetes or if it’s a lingering effect of the Methotrexate, which can mess with blood levels.
I was so sick I had to take a C in my theology course because I couldn’t finish the final paper, and I had to drop the next class I was supposed to start. My next course begins August 25, and I’m doing everything I can to be well enough to take it.
This whole experience showed me how broken my care coordination is. My primary care doctor didn’t know what was happening and wasn’t communicating with my other specialists. No one was checking my chart to make sure treatments wouldn’t conflict with my other conditions. I have a meeting next week with my Medicaid service coordinator to talk about better coordinated care and possibly enrolling in dual Medicare/Medicaid, which I’ve been told I qualify for.
This could have killed me. I’m grateful to be alive and slowly healing, but I’m also angry and frustrated that this happened at all.
Thanks for reading. I appreciate all of you.

CNN: Here’s who stands to gain from the ‘#bigbeautifulbill.’ And who may struggle
#onepercent #trump
#medicaid #medicare
#EBT #Foodstamps...The net income for the top 20% of earners would increase by nearly $13,000 per year, after taxes and transfers, according to an analysis of a near-final version of the Senate bill by Penn Wharton Budget Model.
That amounts to a 3% average increase in income for those households.
For the top 0.1% of earners, the average annual income gain would amount to more than $290,000, according to Penn Wharton.

#MedicalInsurance #Medicare #MedicarePlus
Just received noticed from #BlueShield that #UCSF, my medical provider for the last 15 years, is leaving the #BlueShieldOfCA #PPO medical network as of 7/10/2025. ☹️
Just started doing some research on which groups are available where I can find a new PCP & all of the "reviews" for all of the medical groups in my area & beyond are dismal. 🤦♂️
That said, I've found that as long as I get a PCP that I get along with & who is responsive to my needs/requests, I'm happy even if the reviews for the group are poor.
So, I may need to try a couple in various groups before I find the PCP that I like.
As the member of a PPO, I don't have to worry all about getting referrals for specialized care but the day-to-day medical care -- labs & prescriptions -- is all I generally need & I just need to find another PCP who is on the same page with me for those things.
Wish me luck! 😉

#Trump’s Immigration #Crackdown Hits #CaliforniaFarms
#Farmworkers hid in fields on Tuesday as word spread that ICE agents were conducting raids in California’s breadbasket, an activist said.
By Bernard Mokam and Pooja Salhotra
June 11, 2025, 9:08 p.m. ETExcerpt: " 'The #Trump administration is ramping up its immigration crackdown, with a focus on workplaces with undocumented #laborers, such as #farms, #restaurants and #construction sites. Estimates show more than eight million undocumented #immigrants work in the United States.
"Last Friday, federal immigration agents swept through the garment district of Los Angeles, setting off protests that have rattled sections of downtown L.A. and have spread to a number of cities across the country.
"For #farmworkers — about 42 percent of whom are undocumented, according to the Agriculture Department — the escalation in arrests has created widespread fear." 'Children are terrified,' Ms. Romero said. 'They don’t want to go to school because they don’t know if their parents will be home when they come back.'
"Local leaders have rebuked the escalation, which could bring hardship to one of California’s agricultural corridors. The #CentralValley — which grows #almonds, #grapes, #walnuts and #cherries, among other crops — produces a quarter of the nation’s food, worth an estimated $17 billion a year, according to federal data.
" 'These actions are completely unjustified and harmful,' said Mayor Luis McArthur of Oxnard. 'They create chaos in our city without contributing much to public safety. Furthermore these actions undermine the very principles of #DueProcess.'
"The raids this week represent the first organized immigration enforcement from the new Trump administration to hit California’s agricultural region, which covers about 40 percent of the state, Ms. Romero said. A handful of federal operations have been conducted in other rural communities in recent weeks. Last month, federal agents pulled over a bus in #AlbionN., and detained 14 immigrants who worked at a nearby farm. In April, three children and their mother were detained at an upstate New York dairy.
"Rural migrants are particularly vulnerable to immigration enforcement because they stand out in towns that are often racially homogenous, said Will Lambek of Migrant Justice, an advocacy organization for farmworkers in #Vermont, where eight dairy workers were detained in April.
"In California, Ms. Davalos said the agents could have made more arrests had the community been less prepared. Once a volunteer spotted officers in the area, an alert was sent through a network of support.
"Federal agents were denied entry to at least nine farms in the Central Coast, Ms. Davalos said. Some growers parked their vehicles in front of their gates. Employees also obscured their cars.
'We demonstrated the power of brave, nonviolent #resistance to #ICE’s tactics of #terror,' Ms. Davalos said, lamenting what she described as politically driven attempts to reach a deportation quota. 'At the end of the day, they’re seizing our family, friends, neighbors and co-workers.'"If federal immigration enforcement activities continue, #FoodProduction will become increasingly difficult, and food prices could rise, warned Bryan Little, senior director of policy advocacy at the California Farm Bureau."
