This article makes one statement for sure is that someone is ready to gamble on just about anything. This kind of dilutes the seriousness of the situation when investors basically are sitting back and bet on the outcome of litigation. So now it appears bets outside of the normal areas of...

I found this article to be of interest as in healthcare we are constantly focusing on behavioral modifications for the US consumer to live healthier and more productive lives and in this article the same prospect is being discussed for investors who in another way have some unhealthy behaviors. Gee we...

This is done very well in Jon Stewart style and worth a listen. We all know what happened and what continues to happen and they don’t come out and say it, but it’s “those algorithms” once more that make big bucks! This is pretty funny on some of the points they hit on. The authors...

I’m sure this is press that Boston Scientific would probably rather do without as they have been in the news a lot today, mostly over their stent products and court cases relating to patents. There’s a ton of money spent here that could go to the bottom lines of better healthcare. With the...

She has a real problem when taxpayer money was promised to be spent one way and it was not spent as promised. How can financial institutions still think life it still business as usual. Wall Street can’t see that is is business as usual. Goldman, J.P. Morgan take heed please. What is...

Not too long ago I wrote about the next step that migrates from “dead peasant” life insurance policies, which was shown in Michael Moore’s new film. Yes, it is moving up the ladder to even another level of gambling. The video below explains the dead peasant life insurance policies, but continue...

14,000 people every day lose their health insurance and medical bills are causing individuals to lose their homes, bankruptcy and defaulting loans. If we want to fix the economy, then we need to fix healthcare it sounds like to me. The Federal Reserve – What’s the Answer – Roll Back Regulation...

Banks are trying to create new products, but is the new product “Human Hedge” Funds? If you are worried about so called government death panels, then you need to read on here. As I have mentioned many many times, Wall Street invests heavily in Business Intelligence software, they get their...

This survey was conducted by independent contracted companies by the Houston Department of Insurance. There’s also a video at the link worth watching. One physician stated they “laughed” at him when trying to resolve denied claims and says he spends as much if not more time on the claims...
