I’m Tim Frasca, and every week I tell you about what’s in the mainstream and specialty healthcare news media about how we spend trillions of dollars making intermediaries rich instead of making ourselves healthier. This week there’s a fascinating set of stories about health insurance companies losing money because they are required to provide healthcare. Can't have that! More on how consumers get slammed, a town where a quarter of the residents have been sued by their hospital, and the medical debt forgiveness movement; some pharmaceutical pricing news; and workforce issues, like why doctors and nurses are fleeing Tennessee and a potentially big class-action lawsuit by a Pittsburgh nurse.

I also refer to a study about hospitals that are failing financially and being forced into mergers, which can be found at www.kaufmanhall.com
