What is the hidden agenda behind Project 2025 in the healthcare industry?
I pride myself and this network on delivering news to you that you're not getting anywhere else. So I want to share with you right now some of the things that the healthcare industry is doing to subtly and almost secretly try to implement Project 2025 while everybody's distracted and looking away at all of Donald Trump's cabinet picks and their child sex trafficking allegations. And drunken behavior allegations and rape of unconscious women accusations and cuddling up to Vladimir Putin accusations. I can't believe I even gotta say that. Let's take a look at what some big pharma, big healthcare industries, rather, what they are doing. My friend Eric Feigl Dung. Dr. Eric says the following: Holy shit!
In an unprecedented move, Anthem Blue Cross.
How is Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield changing anesthesia payment rules?
Blue Shield has unilaterally declared it will no longer pay for anesthesia care if the surgery or procedure goes beyond an arbitrary time limit, regardless of how long the surgical procedure takes. In a very strongly worded letter from the American Society of Anesthesia. Physiologists, they call this out. That this is just the latest in a long line of appalling behavior by commercial health insurers looking to drive their profits up at the expense of patients and physicians providing essential care. It is a cynical money grab by Anthem and, frankly, other health care providers. And as I take a look at the money being made by Anthem, its parent company is now called Elevis Health. That used to be Anthem.
Strong fourth quarter revenue. Elevents reported strong fourth quarter 2023 profits, $856 million in strong fourth quarter revenue of $2.6 billion in revenue. You take a look even at 2022.
Why does the host compare Trump’s distractions to Biden’s healthcare achievements?
Anthem doubled its profits to 1.1 billion then, and it continues to grow. Anthem's CEO The CEO of Elevents Health earned nearly $21.9 million in total compensation, which comes out to about, I don't know, $60,000, $70,000 a day or such. You have also an executive chairman making $16.4 million a year, a chief administrative officer making about $4.2 million a year. An executive VP level positions. Making $4.5 million a year. And as you look at the revenue being made by all these large healthcare companies, $200 billion, $133 billion, $126 billion, are talking about huge amounts of money. And meanwhile, they now feel emboldened because of the Project 2025 section on taking away the affordable care. Act and with Biden no longer going to be in office, because let's remember what Biden would do all the time.
Almost every day, Biden would post about healthcare, right?
What new Medicare‑Medicaid policies is the Trump administration planning?
I mean, not a day went by that he really didn't. He would say, on the this is from uh I'll pick any day, July 30th, 2024, on the anniversary of Medicare and Medicaid, more Americans have health insurance than under any president in history. It matters. Despite Republican attempts in Congress to put these programs on the chopping block. Kamala and I will always fight to protect and strengthen them. Here he is, September 9th, 2024. Mental health care is healthcare. And today's new rules ensure mental health care will be covered at the same level as other healthcare, improving access for 175 million Americans with private health insurance. And there's a lot more he talks about. Today, my administration took major steps.
How does the SimpliSafe Black‑Friday deal fit into the episode’s narrative?
To expand contraception coverage. And by the way, as Armand Domoluski explains, this was back from January in 2024, nobody talks about this, but the boosted Obamacare subsidies in the 2021 America Rescue Plan signed by President Joe Biden pushed healthcare uninsurance rates to their lowest levels in US history. To 8.6%. And the point, folks, is that this isn't just some accident. This is actual policy in action. So you can have President Biden saying things like this: I'll never forget at 14 years old, my mother telling me that my dad's company was no longer going to pay his health insurance. The Affordable Care Act is for families that know that feeling. The fear and uncertainty. I'll always fight like hell to protect it.
That was Biden's priorities, right? That probably matters more to you than this.
