Martin doesn't buy the idea that payers unwind, but thinks bots that fight every denial and prior auth mean higher premiums down the road. Kevin brings in the NYT story on SmarterDx and McLaren to ask whether all this coding automation just builds another middleman profit pool.From there it's Rightway's $155M raise at a $1.75B valuation and 45 Fortune 500 clients.

Health Tech Nerds RadioThe Grand Roundup: Finding the optimal amount of healthcare fraud, ACA premium churn, wealthy New Yorkers are buying "med-à-terres", Zeke Emanuel on where healthcare policy reform is headed, and moreKevin and Martin open with an unusual question: how much fraud should we actually tolerate in healthcare? News from Minnesota prompted the question, where the state just disenrolled 3,400 Medicaid providers, most not for fraud, but for incomplete paperwork. Kevin's argument is that zero-tolerance consolidates the market around whoever's best at compliance, not care. Martin mentions that we're underfunding the people who catch sophisticated fraudsters, and prior auth does actually work. They also discuss the ABA therapy workforce explosion (5X growth in behavioral techs since 2019), which the Wall Street Journal frames as a fraud story and Martin pushes back on...

Nový světNový svět #146: Donald Trump a jeho domácí a zahraniční politikaAmerický prezident Donald Trump prožívá hektické časy. Ať chce či nechce – a zdá se, že spíš nechce – musí věnovat pozornost válce na Ukrajině, která ho zjevně obtěžuje a unavuje. Osud „Trumpova mírového plánu“, jenž nese, zdá se, „ruskou stopu“, ale který někteří politici i některá média přesto označují za „nadějný“, je zatím nejasný – uvidíme. Totéž platí o budoucnosti Venezuely – Trump evidentně váhá; v případě „ropného Eldoráda“ jde skutečně o hodně, stejně jako v případě jeho domácí hospodářské politiky. Midterms jsou už za necelý rok a právě jejich výsledek rozhodne do značn...

Pastor Martin Penc na Letnice mluvil o tom, že je normální být ve věcech Ducha svatého nervózní, ale odpovědí je údiv, který přichází, když zakoušíme jednání Ducha svatého.

Der Österreichische Nachhaltigkeitspodcast#19 (EAM3) Microfinanz - "Die Welt ein Stückchen besser machen und dabei Geld verdienen"#19 (EAM3) Microfinanz - "Die Welt ein Stückchen besser machen und dabei Geld verdienen"
Die Idee für "Microfinance" hatte Muhammad Yunus, Gründer der Grameen Bank. Für sein Konzept der Mikrokredite erhielt er auch im Jahr 2006 den Friedensnobelpreis. Martin Cech, Fondsmanager ERSTE RESPONSIBLE MICROFINANCE, erklärt: "Mikrofinanz bedeutet, Banking for the unbankingable Persons".

Prostor XLucia Houfková: Lidi musí znát benefity i rizika očkování, hodně toho nevíme, vývoj pandemie je teď pozitivní - Prostor X podcast„Na vrcholu hospitalizací ještě nejsme, tam nás ještě pár dní čeká, ale začaly hodně klesat počty nových případů u dětí,“ říká Lucia Houfková, která sleduje na základě dostupných dat dynamiku šíření covidu, a z ní se snaží krátkodobě predikovat situaci. „Co ještě nevypadá pozitivně, je trend vážných případů, ty teď začaly růst. Tam doufám, že je to důsledkem zpoždění. Nejdřív zpomalují nové případy, pak hospitalizace a pak vážné případy, což je tím, že nemoc je u lidí s vážným průběhem na delší dobu,“ dodává matematička. Ta na...

Dodejme ovšem, že to dělá s radostí a je Martinovi oporou. Hezký poslech!

Hana Štipák SHOW#26 Stavte na Dobrých Základech Vašeho Těla Martin Snášel"V životě by se člověk měl naplno věnovat jenom jedné věci." Není tomu tak dávno, kdy jsem tuto větu četla u stránkách Coretraining, za kterými stojí Martin Snášel. Při čtení této věty v jednom z jeho mnoha článků, jsem se nadobro utvrdila v tom, že se profesně nemůžu věnovat všemu. Že je pro mě jednoduše moc skloubit pracovní náplň jak výživové poradkyně, tak trenérky.

Muzeum podkastu: Masa krytycznaOdcinek późnyWczoraj w późnych godzinach wieczornych pojawiła się nowa Masa Krytyczna. Nie za bardzo jest sens pisać o czym była, bo z powodu niezdrowości myśli prowadzącego krążyły dość chaotycznie. W odcinku między innymi: list od pana Ch*** z Ch***, ranking sposobów na samobójstwo, komentarz do niezadowolonego słuchacza, o tym jak się bawią programiści (tak się bawią, tak się bawią!) oraz promowanie dodupizmu i wdupomienia jako cech narodowych.
