New CEO Tim Noel stressed in a message to staff that there would be continuity with the previous CEO. “I am also humbled because this path was set by our friend, BT [Brian Thompson], who wanted to be a part of the solutions we are creating,” Noel wrote. “I know we will stand on the foundation he set and move forward — together.”
Internal UnitedHealthcare talking points we also obtained focus on the same issues for which the health insurer has faced criticism: claim denials, prior authorization requirements, and the use of artificial intelligence."

Apparently, no one told Trump that the assassin of a US health insurance executive has literally become a folk hero.

Dharamshala: Robotic Surgery to Establish New Milestones in Healthcare at Tanda Medical College, Kangra.
Chief Minister Thakur Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu, approved a budget of ₹28 crore for the establishment of a robotic surgery in Tanda.Rajesh (Aliyesha)
The simple truth is that Donald Trump gave a major speech, the first speech of his second presidency,
and ignored almost every significant issue facing the working families of this country.
How crazy is that?
Our #healthcare system is broken, is dysfunctional and is wildly expensive.
We remain the only wealthy nation not to guarantee healthcare for all.
Not one word from Trump about how he is going to address the healthcare crisis.
We pay, by far, the highest prices in the world for #prescription #drugs
– sometimes 10 times more than the people in other countries
– and one out of four Americans is unable to afford the prescriptions that their doctors prescribe.
Not one word from Donald Trump on the high cost of prescription drugs.
We have 800,000 Americans who are #homeless and millions of our people spend 50% or 60% of their limited income on housing.
We have a major #housing crisis in America
– everyone knows it.
And Trump, in his inaugural address, did not devote one word to it.
Today in America, we have more income and wealth #inequality than we have ever had.
The wealthiest three people in America now own more wealth than the bottom half of our society.
But Trump had nothing to say about the growing gap between the very rich and everybody else.
And maybe that’s because he had those three people – the three wealthiest people in America – sitting right behind him at his inauguration.
And, I should add, those three people – if you can believe it – saw their wealth increase by more than $233bn since the November elections.
No wonder they were sitting right behind Trump. They couldn’t be happier.
During his inaugural speech, Trump did not have one word to say about how we are going to address the planetary crisis of #climate ##change.
The last 10 years have been the warmest ever recorded, and extreme weather disturbances and natural disasters are taking place all over the world
– from California to India, across Europe to North Carolina. Not one word about climate change
– except, of course, to make it clear that he intends to make this horrific situation even worse with “drill, baby, drill”.
Brilliant.

A Louisiana patient is the first person in the US to die as a result of H5N1 infection. The Louisiana health department noted that the person who was infected was over the age of 65 and had underlying medical conditions, which made the person particularly vulnerable to severe disease.

Medical staff are over-worked & often under-paid, working in often crumbling buildings & too often bare the brunt of social breakdown (manifesting as health problems).
So lets listen to healthcare workers: make their lives better, invest in the environment they work in & employ more of them, and much (but not all) the crisis would be eased!

]The ongoing spread of bird flu in the United States has alarmed experts — not just because of human cases causing severe illness, but also due to troubling new instances of infections in cats.

![Instead, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said the mutations were "likely generated by replication of this virus in the patient with advanced disease," emphasizing that no transmission of the mutated strain to other humans had been identified.
Several experts contacted by AFP cautioned that it was too early to determine whether these changes would make the virus more transmissible or more severe in people.
Angela Rasmussen, a virologist at the University of Saskatchewan in Canada, explained that while the mutation might help the virus enter cells more easily, additional evidence [such as animal testing] would be needed to confirm any effect on transmissibility.
Moreover, similar mutations have occurred in previous critically ill patients without leading to broader outbreaks. "It's good to know we should be looking out for this," Rasmussen said, "but it doesn't actually tell us, [Oh, we're this much closer to a pandemic now]."](https://nerdculture.de/system/media_attachments/files/113/770/318/939/716/868/original/a73dafd158bf2bcd.jpeg "Instead, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said the mutations were \"likely generated by replication of this virus in the patient with advanced disease,\" emphasizing that no transmission of the mutated strain to other humans had been identified.

A sample of the virus found in a critically ill patient in the United States has shown signs of mutating to better suit human airways, although there is no indication it has spread beyond that individual, authorities report.
An analysis posted by the CDC revealed that a small percentage of the virus in the patient's throat carried genetic changes that could increase the virus's ability to bind to certain cell receptors found in the human upper respiratory tract.
Importantly, the agency noted that these changes have not been detected in birds – including in the backyard poultry flock believed to have been the source of the patient's initial infection.
