Tony Dale posted thisFreedom and the hand of God: It was Thomas Jefferson who penned the words, "we hold these truths to be self-evident." I understand that Bejamin Franklin may have suggested the words "self-evident" as a replacement for Thomas Jefferson's original "sacred and undeniable." Either way, the meaning is clear. It is built into the heart of people to desire freedom. Look at Iran. For almost 5 decades the Iranian people have been under the hand of the Ayatollah's. That started in a similar revolution against the Shah and his repression. What a blessing that this time, after experiencing half a century of the repressive nature of the Ayatollah's brand of freedom, that the people of Iran have had the courage to again make the choice for themselves. This has led me to reflect on the nature of revolutions and the long-term impact of the heart's cry for "freedom." In the 20th Century, the cry for freedom expressed itself in the so-called "revolution of the proletariat." But communism, with its foundation of atheism and hatred for God, proved to be possibly the most blood-thirsty expression of "freedom" that has ever been hoisted on the human race. It mirrored the rationalism of the French revolution As far as I can see, only one type of revolution has consistently led people towards an on-going and truly liberating freedom, and that is the revolution of love that Jesus released on the world when He showed us the reality that "herein is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and gave Himself as the substitution for our sins." His followers over the past two thousand years have been far from perfect. Some were as bad (and as blood-thirsty!) as some of the revolutions touched on above. But the overall trend of this revolution of love has been the emergence of what is generally known as the Judeo-Christian tradition, which, as flawed as it is, still appears to be the best reflection of the cry of all human hearts for freedom. I rejoice with the Iranian people in their cry for freedom, and I am so encourage that the current representation of the American impact on the world is shown in its President's willingness to stand with these dear people in their time of need. Again, as Jefferson put it in the Declaration of Independence, "that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness". Long live the revolution!

Tony Dale posted thisWe are Health Admins a local Austin business providing healthcare alternatives to individuals and business owners across the country. As many of you may have seen in the news, devastating flash floods have hit our own backyard in the Texas Hill Country, claiming the lives of at least 82 people and leaving dozens more still missing. Among the hardest hit is Camp Mystic in Kerr County, where at least 27 children and counselors tragically lost their lives, and 11 remain unaccounted for. These events are heartbreaking and deeply personal for many in our community. At Health Admins, we believe in taking action when our neighbors are in need. In response to this tragedy, we are launching a company-wide fundraising initiative to support the victims and their families. Let’s stand together during this time of sorrow and offer what we can to help heal and rebuild. https://lnkd.in/gmMq_KPC

Tony Dale shared thisMy Friend, Founder, and CEO Firouz Daneshgari at BowTie Medical wrote this fascinating book, Health Guardianship: The Remedy to the Sick Care System. The book just received a 5 Star review! Reviewed by Mariana Mukhebi for Readers’ Favorite With the American healthcare system being the most expensive in the world, priorities tend to differ when it comes to analyzing the financial metrics of initiatives. As the author Firouz Daneshgari says, the system is expensive compared to what it brings in return. After years of conducting extensive research, Firouz was able to come up with newfound business knowledge. In the author's findings, "medical errors" are the third most common cause of death in the United States. Health Guardianship: The Remedy to the Sick Care System explores these possibilities to come up with cost-effective solutions and provide sustainable health care for all. It is through great technological advances in American medicine that major medical demands can be met. I have to admit, healthcare isn't my area of expertise. But this book has helped me understand and realize the importance of health guardianship and its contribution. I like how the author outlines the challenges and what can be done to develop clinical research training. The healthcare system involves a lot of maintenance. As a result, industry experts are forced to develop new measures to fill the gap. This book outlines all the factors that are needed to come up with such measures. It is better to develop institutions that will invest in health and longevity. In turn, this would ensure that there is equal give and take. I credit Dr. Firouz Daneshgari for coming up with such profound solutions to this problem. This book also highlights the risks involved and the effort required to correct systematic misalignments." #healthcare #medicine #medical You can pick up a copy of his book here: https://lnkd.in/gJKHHpbUHealth Guardianship: The Remedy to the Sick Care SystemHealth Guardianship: The Remedy to the Sick Care System

Tony Dale liked thisTony Dale liked thisFMMA co-founder Dr. Keith Smith is encouraged by the growing recognition of price transparency in healthcare. What was once considered unconventional is increasingly understood as common sense. Clear, upfront pricing helps patients make informed decisions, supports value-based competition, and allows providers to practice with greater independence. Transparency is not a trend. It is a foundational component of a functional healthcare marketplace. The Free Market Medical Association continues to support providers, employers, and organizations advancing free market healthcare solutions built on clarity, trust, and choice. Let's keep the momentum going: fmma.org

Tony Dale liked thisTony Dale liked thisI’m honored that the Florida Senate has confirmed my appointment to the Florida Board of Medicine. The Board plays an important role in protecting patients and helping uphold the standards and integrity of medical practice throughout Florida. Physicians carry a profound responsibility to the public, and I take seriously the opportunity to help steward that trust. I’m grateful to Governor Ron DeSantis for the opportunity to serve and look forward to working with my fellow board members and the Department of Health as we carry out that responsibility.

Colorado's Insurance Commissioner just told residents to get their health coverage through employers if they can, because the cost of marketplace plans are skyrocketing. At the same time, Congress is exploring ways for employers to send their workers to the health exchanges with ICHRA plans. When both the government and employers are trying to offload their responsibility--to each other--it's clear we've reached a tipping point. Read more about The Great Healthcare Handoff in my latest Substack. Link is in the comments.

Patient #OutofPocket Costs Explained... 1) Trends, 2) Moral Hazard, 3) Recent Legal Changes. In 1950s to 1970s patients had low deductibles and coinsurance. However, healthcare costs rose rapidly. To counter rising healthcare costs, in the 1980s and 1990s health insurance companies rolled-out Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs) and Preferred Provider Organizations (PPOs), which introduced the copay. Again, healthcare costs rose rapidly. In the 2000s high-deductible health plans (HDHPs) with MUCH higher out-of-pocket costs were introduced to try and lower healthcare costs, but costs rose yet again. The original intent of patient cost sharing was to counter the Moral Hazard of having health insurance. The Moral Hazard is when people act differently when someone else is paying. The goal was to have patients and doctors be less wasteful and more judicious with healthcare resources. However, there were some unintended consequences... Both Unnecessary and necessary care decreased with increased patient out-of-pocket costs. Examples of decreased necessary care include patients skipping needed visits, rationing insulin and adhering less to recommended asthma and blood pressure medication regimens. Out-of-pocket healthcare costs are also regressive in that poor people pay a larger percent of their income on healthcare. The result: health suffered. For example, increase patient cost share for diabetics resulted in a 24% increase in severe ER visits and a 27% increase in hospital days. However, there is some good news related to patient cost share: Federal Law has recently changed allowing telehealth to be provided to patients at $0 out-of-pocket, even if the patient has a high-deductible health plan. This change improves access to telehealth services including urgent care, primary care and specialist care. Sponsored by Oshi Health.

Oracle RMS Insurance Risk… • 2K followers
The “Ozempic Tsunami” isn’t a future threat: it’s hitting benefit plans right now. For small to medium enterprises, the surge in GLP-1 semaglutide prescriptions for weight loss and diabetes is creating a significant budget strain. When a single medication costs upwards of $7,000 annually per employee, traditional fully-insured plans often respond with double-digit renewal increases. Controlling these costs requires foresight, not a wait-and-see approach. Managing the impact involves strategic plan design. By integrating Healthcare Spending Accounts (HSAs) and implementing specific drug tiering or prior authorization protocols, businesses can provide essential access without compromising the entire plan’s sustainability. The challenge for employers isn’t just about covering the latest medication. It’s about building a framework that absorbs high-cost breakthroughs while keeping premiums predictable. Sustainability in benefits comes from proactive management, not reactive cuts. This is Post #8 of our HSA Deep Dive. Next time: Beyond medical – The power of Wellness Spending Accounts (WSA).

Long-term care planning is not one-size-fits-all. This clip shows how you can tailor LTC modeling based on what is learned in real client conversations: ➡️ Adjust LTC duration (from 1 year up to the last 10 years of the plan) ➡️ Use national averages (in-home care, assisted living, nursing home) or plug in a custom annual amount ➡️ Automatically apply healthcare inflation assumptions over the planning horizon The result is a more realistic projection and a clearer client conversation.
