After a busy week aggravated by a quick transcon trip, I have a full reading pile I need to clear out. At KevinMD, the question is asked, “Why are so many patients referred to specialists”? The thesis: The fee-for-service payment system has something to do with the behavior, compounded with the tendency to practice defensive medicine. As [...] 
Between travel and work I haven’t had much time to do much recreational reading or writing. But to clear out the inbox right quick, I give you: Chop Suey: Over in Europe, Business Insurance mentions that the increased capital requirements for insurers proposed under Solvency II standards could have the side effect of reducing capacity for [...] 
A few assorted thoughts of the day: Over the weekend, I was interested to follow the post-election ruckus in Iran. Part of that interest arises from just the way the energy feels kind of like the end of the Soviet empire…or potentially like Tiananmen Square. And part of that interest arises from the emergence of Twitter [...] 
Even after purging out topics which, while I was distracted with earning a paycheck, either burned out or were discussed to death elsewhere online, there are still enough items worthy of mentioning to merit a “chop suey” post: The Sun-Sentinel’s House Keys blog mentioned that Florida Insurance Commissioner McCarty has been making the rounds, touting how [...] 
I’ve been busy and have once again accumulated a pile of articles worth mentioning without having the time to go into much detail. Business Insurance has an article summarizing a recent Hewitt study, reporting that 19% of all employers are planning to eliminate employee health benefits over the next 3-5 years. It’s not clear from the [...]
I’m still on the road, so rather than attempt to squeeze in normal blogging, I’ll just point to a few things in my reading list: For those who are so inclined, the SOA has issued a call for essays on “Visions of the Future of the U.S. Health Care System”. This appears to be the latest [...]
It looks like the first half of the year at my day job is going to feature my juggling several fun, but inconveniently timed, big projects. I fear that there will be more weeks like this one, where all sorts of articles worth sharing pop into my inbox, but I don’t have time to do them [...]
While I was getting my Win7 machine up and running, there were several items that came through my reading list which I meant to comment on…if I ever survived the reinstall. Considering that the process took much longer than I expected, I’m left with making a “chop suey” style post, to point to a few articles [...] 
One of the problems with working a day job is that it interferes with blogging. Sadly, for bloggers like me whose interests are too unfocused and whose writing style is rather amateurish, the day job pays better. While I was away, I flagged several articles I could point at, or topics I could write [...] |
