Healthcare costs rising

https://www.newsnationnow.com/health/weight-loss-drugs-health-care-costs/

Interesting what is driving the 8% increase.
- Why do most insurance companies cover weight loss drugs?
- Purchasing these drugs in other industrialized nations would be out-of-pocket.
- This doesn’t incentivize the real issue of most health related problems-diet and exercise. Only in America.
- No one talks about long term effects of being on these drugs.

Our healthcare costs are approaching 20% of GDP.
Is covering weight loss drugs in the end less expensive than having obese people who clearly may or will have multiple serious long term on going health care issues? My wife is in primary care and very few plans cover it. Moreover, you have to be obsess when they do cove it I think BMi over 30.

Obesity is a huge problem in the country. But in Europe there are many additives in foods that are banned and allowed here. Maybe we need to at least start there.

Tony B on the roster

TROVE: Has the way in which you interact with the team or the way you coach changed as a result of this new landscape?

BOZZELLA: Yeah, the way I interact with them for sure, because I'm getting a lot of older kids that have played for different college coaches. So, I need to try and get to know them right away and find out what makes them tick, good or bad, because a lot of them only have one year of eligibility, maybe two. On the younger side I want to get to know them a little better because I know if I don't get to know them right away as freshmen, they may not be there as sophomores. And I ask my staff to do a lot of it, and they do a great job. DeDe [Simmons] and Cassandra [Callaway], Jose [Rebimbas] and Pete [Cinella] and Shakena [Richardson] , especially the females, they do a wonderful job of establishing the relationship and trust with the kids. And you would hope it works.

I don't want to make this interview about Micah, but Miach was in Cassandra's office on a daily basis. She worked out with Cassandra and DeDe on a daily basis, all the time. I remember saying to Micah, 'We spent all this time with you.' And she said, 'Well, that's what you're supposed to do.' I was like excuse me? And she was just like, 'Yeah, that's just the way it is now.' And I said, 'No, that's not the way it is. And you'll find that out when you go to the next place.'

HR McMaster new book

For someone who calls out others for never admitting they were wrong just own what you’ve been saying for 6 months leading up to the 2024 Biden Trump debate. Nice deflection.
i said trump would be the nominee and that he would lose. nobody who voted against him had any new reasons to vote for him this time. outside of jan 6, felony convictions, etc. did i know there would be a historic incumbent drop out? nobody did. big ol gotcha moment for team trump as usual

RFK talking while on stage with Trump. Make America Healthy Again.

Really should have to put a disclaimer on a commercial for all to see when advertising coke, gatorade, hershey, etc this is not part of a healthy diet. Should also be more transparent of the process of the meat being produced.
trump gave McDonalds to all guests who visited the white house fyi.

Pirates To Open With VCU At 2024 Charleston Classic

Good opponent and the game takes added significance since we have a fairly weak OOC. Winning the first game and advancing in the winners bracket usually means we play more highly-ranked opponents in games 2 & 3.

VCU was 24-14 with a NET of 71, KP of 75 and finished 4th in A10. Our NET was 67 and KP was 50. They had a 1st year coach who was able to retain most of his talent heading into Year 2.

Continuity will be a strength as they return 7 core players including their 3 top scorers- all 5th year players who averaged double figures. Their starting Center returns and they added 2 more 5th year transfers.

They didn't expect Shugla to return after he committed to Nova so they brought in a 5th yr PG. Now that Shugla returned, they could have a really good team. Tough early test for our unknown group.
