The red states are screaming.

More than 23 million Americans are currently enrolled in Obamacare plans, and nearly all of them will face higher health care costs next year if extra federal funding for subsidies expires, as scheduled, on Dec. 31.

If you think your loved one is having issues with cognition, jump on it early. It is much harder to fix financial issues once dementia really takes hold. Thanks Liz Weston for sharing my thoughts on this situation. www.oregonlive.com/business/202...

Secrets revealed: Insurer’s new AI-powered prior authorization workflow Do we want to pay for this? ⬇️ No ⬇️ Deny authorization ⬇️ If customer dissatisfied, return to step one

Prior authorizations for medical care are becoming insane. Insurers are using AI for first steps. Now the providers are using AI to fight back. So now AI vs AI is going to be who decides our healthcare? www.modernhealthcare.com/health-tech/... (sorry for paywall) @modernhealthcare.bsky.social

I love seeing this. Green burials should be the norm. @kffhealthnews.org kffhealthnews.org/news/article...

They are privatizing Medicare, which means they will profit off denial of coverage. Say no to the GOP or face loss of insurance.

As US population level health data becomes ever-more unreliable … we are proud to unveil a new resource for families, policy makers, and healthcare providers @yalesph.bsky.social

Why we need safety nets and not oligarchs.

He did what now

Push for ranked-choice voting in your local races. It transforms the campaign dynamic! It took NYC two cycles to get our head around it, but the dynamic between Lander and Mamdani created joy and collaboration rather than sniping and division.

I’m fan girling sharing the main stage at Morningstar with Jean Chatzky and Christine Benz. Women face so many issues and advisors need to understand how to address these such as long term care, longevity risks, and income inequality.

I had a wise mentor when I was a newly minted doctor. He said "Never prescribe new drugs for at least the first 6 months. Let the other doctors kill their patients first." All the weight loss drugs are life changing for many and they come with risks. Exhibit A: www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

LOL in this conglomeration of confusion, obfuscation, malevolence, incompetence, self-interest, crime and the momentum of decades of overshoot of ecological limits of course you don't know the one right thing to do. It's a mess out there. Do something anyway.

People are feeling much less confident about their financial future. So many reasons why! @cnbc.com @jessicadickler.bsky.social shares the lowdown. My take - how can someone feel secure with so much instability! www.cnbc.com/2025/06/23/s...

Yay to this

Super excited about Morningstar conference in Chicago. Will be in a session with the amazing Christine Benz and Jean Chatzky discussing special considerations in planning for women. Also excited about Christine’s book singing where you can ask me anything! (I rarely look pretty on a travel day! 😊)

A uniquely American nightmare

I've lost count on many free steak dinners we've been invited to. Without mentioning names some of us are no doubt familiar with the slogan, "We only do well when our clients do well." But when advisors typically charge 1% of assets under management, they also do well when their clients do badly.

The flat fee movement is slowly gaining steam. Thanks @financialplanning.bsky.social for highlighting the flat fee movement! www.financial-planning.com/news/how-sho...

I thought after No Kings Day that everyone would appreciate looking at some real Monarchs. I had a good morning with these babies.

Heading from one event to the next. 1,000’s (many) at the first one. #NoKingsDay

I note, in my recent talk to UK and U.S. lawmakers, that there are fundamentally four global meta crises: --transnational organized crime --monopolized media & tech --weaponized grievance --cowardice www.linkedin.com/pulse/addres...

I've been watching this soap opera of private equity buyup of practices since the beginning. The plot twist I predicted long ago is starting to happen. www.modernhealthcare.com/providers/pr... Nothing is for free in PE world.

Do any business attorneys write contracts in plain English? 😐

We are at the beginning of a long term care tsunami. My biggest worry is the lack of caregivers. Make sure you think about the logistics of care long before it is needed. Thanks @nytimes.com and Mark Miller for such great coverage of the need. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/24/b...

Grateful 11 states now have Aid In Dying laws. Thank you Delaware. 39 states to go - hopefully it happens in Florida before I need it. @thehill.com thehill.com/homenews/sta...

This is a HUGE scandal. Elon Musk, JD Vance, and Trump are lying about Social Security fraud. Internal documents show DOGE found "no significant fraud"—but did slow retirement claim processing by 25%. Nothing efficient about making it harder for people to get their benefits.

Had a great time at FPA of Connecticut talking about planning for clients with a terminal illness. Great audience and beautiful venue.

Workers who track data on car crashes, drownings, traumatic brain injury, falls in the elderly, and other perils lost their jobs. Advocates worry life-saving work will stop.

Getting ready to watch @stephaniekelton.bsky.social kick some butt. We know the answer is no. #MMT The government is not a household. www.youtube.com/live/eyDVycb...

Hello from San Diego!

Rise and shine! Happy Gate River Run Day to all who celebrate. The 1st Place Sports Running crew has been working hard to make this happen. My love Trib La Prade is ready to motivate you at the start. #ilovejax

Love this.

So darn excited to see this. See @loriekonish.bsky.social - your work can change the world. Thanks @cnbc.com for staying on top of this.

Happy New Year! Nothing better than starting with a great run/walk/ride with the love of my life.

Next year’s 2.5% bump in Social Security benefits is feeling skimpy to many retirees. How can you make your money go further? In a new story for AARP, I share some tips, which also work for non-retirees. H/t @carolynmcc.bsky.social, Trae Bodge, Kathy Kristof and Ted Rossman bit.ly/4iv3eYU

Hello everyone! I'm finally making the jump from the toxic waste dump formally known as Twitter. Looking forward to finding old friends and making new ones.
