15 health systems dropping Medicare Advantage plans | 2024
Medicare Advantage provides health coverage to more than half of the nation's older adults, but some hospitals and health systems are opting to end their contracts with MA plans over administrative challenges.
Among the most commonly cited reasons are excessive prior authorization denial rates and slow payments from insurers.
In 2023, Becker's began reporting on hospitals and health systems nationwide that dropped some or all of their Medicare Advantage contracts.
In January, the Healthcare Financial Management Association released a survey of 135 health system CFOs, which found that 16% of systems are planning to stop accepting one or more MA plans in the next two years. Another 45% said they are considering the same but have not made a final decision. The report also found that 62% of CFOs believe collecting from MA is "significantly more difficult" than it was two years ago.
Fifteen health systems dropping Medicare Advantage plans in 2024: Editor's note: This is not an exhaustive list. It will continue to be updated this year 1.

CRUCIFIED ON THE BLUE CROSS: THE STORY OF DRALVES GENE EDWARDS, DO.; PRACTICING MEDICINE WHILE BLACK AND THE RACIAL PROFILING OF PHYSICIANS OF COLOR IN AMERICA
LINDA CHEEKS MD VICTIM OF MASSIVE GOVERNMENTAL OVERREACH: A CHRONIC PAIN PATIENT Nancy Wilson writes; Thank you for exposing the lies, and greed that is killing chronic pain patients. I pray the FDA, and AMA can help save the rest of us, chronic pain patients, by getting the CDC guidelines, and laws changed. The 2016 guidelines need to be abolished, and new guidelines need to be made, with the input of chronic pain patients. REV. RONALD MYERS MD., “THE FATHER OF UNITED STATES OF AMERICA’S NATIONAL CELEBRATION OF JUNETEENTH,” PAIN PATIENT ADVOCACY WEEK Doc Myers led his last Pain Patient Advocacy Week in Washington, DC on April 23-30, 2018. He wasn’t feeling up to par when he came to Washington, but he used all the energy he had to lead the movement. Possibly because of that self-sacrifice, he did not have the reserves when he returned home, and his health deteriorated over the next few months. He is truly a martyr to the cause, and Chronic Pain Patients should lift him up forever for the support he gave. HERE: A 1985 graduate of the University of Wisconsin Medical School and residency in Family Practice at L.S.U. Medical Center, Doc Myers was a leading national advocate for health care to the poor and disenfranchised. In 1990 he became the first ordained and commissioned medical missionary to serve in America’s poorest region, the Mississippi Delta, in the history of the African American church. Dr. Myers provided health care to the poorest Americans through clinics in Tchula, Belzoni, Yazoo City, Indianola, Greenville, and Tupelo, Mississippi. He went on missions outreach to Kenya and Israel.

Bill Powell (November 22, 1922 - December 31, 2009) was the first African American to design, construct, and own a professional golf course in the US. He and his wife Marcella did most of the landscaping by hand when they transformed a 78-acre dairy farm into a nine-hole golf course located near East Canton, Ohio.
He was born in Greenville, Alabama, but grew up in Minerva, Ohio. He worked as a caddy as a youth. He played golf on the Wilberforce University team before serving in WWII with the Army Air Forces.
After he returned home from the war, the segregationist policies of the time prevented him from golfing on a public golf course in Ohio, so he decided to build his course. He was denied a G.I. loan but was able to get financial support from his brother and two African American physicians and bought a dairy farm outside East Canton so he could open a golf course that would welcome players of all races.
He and his wife created the Clearview Golf Club, which opened as a nine-hole course.
In 1978, the Clearview Golf Club was expanded from nine to 18 holes and was used by thousands of people each year. In 1996, he was inducted into the National Black Golf Hall of Fame because of his pioneering effort with the Clearview Golf Club. The Department of the Interior designated Clearview as a National Historic Site. The second generation of the Powell family now runs the Club. Bill’s son, Larry, is the course superintendent and has been recognized by the Golf Course Superintendent’s Association. His daughter, Renee, is Clearview’s Head Golf Pro. Renee was the second African American woman to play for the Ladies Professional Golf Association, after Althea Gibson. In 1992, they received the Jack Nicklaus Golf Family of the Year Award from the National Golf Foundation.
In 2009, he received the highest honor bestowed by the Professional Golfers’ Association of America when he was presented with the Distinguished Service Award. In his acceptance speech, He explained why he had built the Clearview Golf Club, saying, “I did not want other people who wanted to play the game of golf to have to suffer the indignities that I had.” #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence

South Carolina’s Abortion Ban Stopped by A Judge
By Zeyu Su, The Ohio State Class of 2025
May 28, 2023
On Thursday, May 25th, 202, the Fetal Heartbeat and Protection from Abortion Act was signed into law by Henry McMaster, the South Carolina Governor. The Fetal Heartbeat and Protection from Abortion act, also known as Senate Bill 474, is a bill that limits and bans most abortions as early as six weeks into pregnancy, usually before any early cardiac activity in a fetus or embryo can be detected, and many women would not even know that they are pregnant. McMaster claims that the bill was signed to respect, protect, and preserve the right to life, and he will do anything to protect and defend the bill against any possible challenges. Once the law goes into effect, any physician that knowingly violates the law will not only have their license and their right to practice being revoked, but also will face severe felony charges, fines, and jail time.
After the Supreme Court case Roe v. Wade’s ruling was overturned last year, many Republican states have already added many legal limitations and restrictions when it comes to pregnant woman being able to choose the choice of abortion, South Carolina now officially joins the list of Republican states that are against abortion. It is worthy to mention that as early as in 2021, South Carolina passed a similar 6-week abortion ban, but the state Supreme Court struck the ban down, claiming that the ban did not consider and give women enough time to determine if they are pregnant and if they want to end the pregnancy.
However, the Fetal Heartbeat and Protection from Abortion Act is already facing heavy resistance from the public. Planned Parenthood South Atlantic, which provides abortion services in South Carolina, Greenville’s Women Clinic, and two physician plaintiffs have come together and filed a state lawsuit to stop the law being in effect.
The public is also furious at the new law. Many believe that this bill is inhumane and violates the state’s constitution, as it completely disregards and takes away women’s basic rights and choice of what to do with their body. In most cases, many women choose to have abortions because they do not want and are not ready to give birth to a child. This is most common after a woman was raped and became pregnant unwillingly. In this situation, the woman seek abortion because she does not want to give birth to the child inside of her since she went through the horrible experience of rape by someone, and she is now pregnant, when she had no control in the situation at all. Another reason as to why the public is furious at the new law is because there are no women on the South Carolina state Supreme Court bench currently. Many are furious that in the whole process of constructing the bill and passing the law, not a single woman had a voice in the process when the new law directly impacts all the women that live in South Carolina.
Just one day after the bill was signed, Clifton Newman, a circuit court judge, has made the decision to temporary put a halt to the new law until further reviews and evaluations are done by the state Supreme Court to see if the new law violates the state’s constitution. At the current moment, abortions in South Carolina remain legal up until 20 weeks, and the length of time could be changed depending on the Supreme Court’s decision on the implementation of the law.
To counter and respond to Judge Newman’s action to suspend the new abortion law, Henry McMaster and his office said they are looking forward to the state Supreme Court taking up the case, and they will do anything to make sure the new law goes through. A Republican state Attorney General Alan Wilson also said that his office will be considering all options to make sure the law goes through.

this dude’s wikipedia entry is the most buckwild nonsense i’ve seen all week
ok, you know you’re in for a good time when this
and this
are the first two things you see, right?
tl;dr, John R. Brinkley was the early 1900s version of quack-doctor-meets-Rush-Limbaugh; his big thing was these goofy surgeries to restore male verility by implanting them with goat testicles. which is extremely funny except for the part where people died!
normally THAT would be the craziest shit a dude had going on, and yet—
well, okay, first, let’s hear about the dude’s dad:
Brinkley senior's first marriage was annulled because he was underage.[3] After he reached adulthood, he married four more times, and outlived each of his young wives.
five marriages! holy shit. was the dad poisoning these women or...
anyway, Brinkley himself has a similarly messy love life. for instance, here’s one way to handle a divorce:
Sally filed for divorce and child support, but after two months of payments, Brinkley kidnapped his daughter and fled with her to Canada. Sally Brinkley, unable to obtain an extradition order from Canada, dismissed her suit for alimony and child support, allowing Brinkley to return to Chicago with the child.
In Memphis, Brinkley met 21-year-old Minerva Telitha "Minnie" Jones, a friend of Crawford's and the daughter of a local physician. On August 23, 1913, after a four-day courtship,[14] Brinkley and Jones married at the Peabody Hotel, even though he was still married to Sally Brinkley. Minnie and John Brinkley honeymooned in Kansas City, Denver, Pocatello and Knoxville. Brinkley was arrested in Knoxville and extradited to Greenville where he was put in jail for practicing medicine without a license and for writing bad checks.[13] Brinkley told the sheriff that it was all Crawford's fault, and gave investigators enough information that they were able to arrest Crawford in Pocatello. The two former partners met again in jail.[13]
imagine your OTP...
in addition to all the goat gland transplants Brinkley was doing, he started concurrently running a radio show, which sounds like such a DELIGHTFULLY mixed bag of material:
Brinkley spoke for hours on end each day on the radio, primarily promoting his goat gland treatments. He variously cajoled, shamed and appealed to men's (and women's) egos, and to their desire to be more sexually active. In between Brinkley's own advertisements, his new station featured a variety of entertainment including military bands, French lessons, astrological forecasts, storytelling and exotica such as native Hawaiian songs, and American roots music including old-time string band, gospel and early country.[32]
life before podcasts...
also, it’s kind of interesting to see an early predecessor of the whole “truth is paywalled but the lies are free” phenomenon here:
Fishbein's interest in putting Brinkley out of business grew and he wrote more articles featuring stories about people who had grown sick or died after seeing Brinkley. But the [American Medical Association] journal's readership was mostly restricted to other doctors, while Brinkley's radio station poured directly into peoples' homes every day.
eventually, Brinkley’s empire of lies collapses, and good riddance, but also i gotta admire his absolute determination to keep going anyway:
Brinkley reacted to losing his medical and broadcast licenses by launching a bid to become the Governor of Kansas, a political position that would enable him to appoint his own members to the medical board and thus regain his right to practice medicine in the state.
“i would simply become the government,” said he
and he goddamn near succeeded, too, if it weren’t for a rude twist of fate:
Three days before the election, the Kansas attorney general (who had prosecuted Brinkley before the medical board) announced that the rules surrounding write-in candidates had changed, and that the doctor's name could only be written in one specific way for the vote to count (as J. R. Brinkley). As a write-in candidate, he received more than 180,000 votes (29.5 percent of the vote) and lost to Harry Hines Woodring, later Secretary of War in the cabinet of President Franklin D. Roosevelt.[42] An article published at the time in The Des Moines Register estimated that between 30,000 and 50,000 ballots were disqualified in this manner. Woodring later admitted that had those votes counted, Brinkley would have won.[43][44]
anyway, he gets so big mad after all this that he moves to the Mexican border, where the Mexican government is VERY eager to help him build the Most Enormous Fuck-You Radio Station In History:
The Mexican government, eager to get even with its northern neighbors for dividing up North America's radio frequencies without giving any to Mexico, granted Brinkley a 50,000-watt radio license and construction began on XER, his new "border blaster" across the bridge from Del Rio in Villa Acuña, Coahuila (since renamed Ciudad Acuña).[16] As construction got underway, Fishbein and the U.S. State Department desperately searched for a way to shut Brinkley down. [...]
Though Brinkley's American radio license had been revoked, XER's signal was so strong that it could still be heard in Kansas.[49] In 1932, the Mexican government allowed Brinkley to increase his wattage to 150,000 watts. Several months later, Brinkley was allowed to increase to one million watts, "making XER far and away the most powerful radio station on the planet" that, on a clear night, could be heard as far away as Canada. According to accounts of the time, the signal was so strong that it turned on car headlights, made bedsprings hum, and caused broadcasts to bleed into telephone conversations.[50] Local residents claimed to not need a radio to hear Brinkley's station; with ranchers claiming that they received it through their metal fences and in their dental appliances.[51]
jfc, USA, maybe you should’ve fuckin been nicer to Mexico is all i’m sayin
anyway he’s big rich for a while but then he dies penniless with a bunch of counts of mail fraud against him, so. about what you’d expect.
(big thanks to this rando blog post for alerting me to this dude’s existence, lol)
#in conclusion Kansas was always Like That#honestly i probably shoulda just screencapped the bigass radio bit and put that front and center but#it's such a banquet of goofiness. i couldn't choose

The Ghost of General ‘Mad Anthony’ Wayne and his Missing Bones
Photos provided by: UnchartedLancaster.com
“Anthony Wayne was an American soldier, officer, and statesman during the Revolutionary War. His daring military exploits and fiery personality quickly earned him a promotion to brigadier general and the nickname “Mad Anthony.”
Wayne is probably the second most frequently sighted ghost on the East Coast. Second only to Abraham Lincoln. He is also the only Pennsylvanian known to have two separate graves, with body parts in both."
"George Washington considered Wayne to be one of the best tactical commanders and military strategists of the Revolution.
Wayne was born on January 1, 1745, near Paoli in Chester county. He received an excellent education and worked as a surveyor for Benjamin Franklin. When the Revolutionary War began, he assembled a militia and became colonel of the 4th Regiment in Pennsylvania. Wayne aided Benedict Arnold and saved Washington’s troops from a massacre at the Battle of Brandywine in September 1777.
Wayne was at Valley Forge during the winter of 1777-1778, where the Continental Army recouped and rested. Wayne led men to more victories when fighting resumed, including a decisive battle at Stony Point along the Hudson River.
After the war, Wayne settled in Georgia on land granted to him for his military service. He briefly represented Georgia in the House of Representatives before returning to the Army to accept command of U.S. forces in the Northwest Indian War. His forces defeated the Western Confederacy, an alliance of several Native American tribes, at the 1794 Battle of Fallen Timbers, and he masterminded the Treaty of Greenville, which ended the war.
Photo provided by: HistoryLink
Two years later, Wayne died on December 15, 1796, in Erie, Pennsylvania, at Fort Presque Isle while on active duty. He was 51.
Following his wishes, Wayne, wearing his uniform, was buried two days after his death in a plain wooden coffin at the foot of the flagstaff of the post’s blockhouse. The top of the coffin bore his initials, age, and the year of his death in brass tacks.
Had it not been for a strange twist of fate, “Mad Anthony” Wayne would have laid there in peace for eternity.
For 12 years, the remains of Wayne remained undisturbed in a plain grave. However, some thought his burial was not fitting for such a great war hero, and in 1809 Wayne’s family decided to bring him home to rest in St. David’s Church Cemetery closer to his home in Radnor Township, not far from Valley Forge.
When Wayne’s son Colonel Isaac Wayne had the coffin opened in Erie, everyone was shocked! Instead of a crumbling pile of bones, they found a body in an excellent state of preservation.
Isaac had come ill-prepared to move an entire body across the state.
A local physician, Dr. James Wallace, came up with a remedy. He suggested they put Wayne’s body in a large vat and boil it to separate the flesh from the bone.
The general’s flesh and clothing were reinterred beneath the blockhouse. Meanwhile, Isaac took his father’s bones in the back of a wagon and made the long 400-mile journey across the state along what is now U.S. Route 322.
This may be hard to believe, but Pennsylvanian roads were even worse in the early 1800s. They were bumpy paths full of rocks, ruts, and tree stumps.
When Isaac finally arrived at the gravesite and attempted to reassemble the skeleton, the family discovered to their horror that several of the bones were missing. It appeared that some of the bones had fallen out of the wagon while making the arduous trip across the commonwealth.
Isaac was greatly distressed by this turn of events and regretted his decision to disinter his father for the rest of his life.
After that, stories began to surface that every New Year’s morning, General “Mad Anthony” Wayne’s birthday, his ghost rises and begins the long journey on horseback from St. David’s to Erie and back in search of his missing bones. People along that route have insisted that a man clad in Colonial garb has been seen riding a horse and stopping if searching for something.
“Mad Anthony’s” ghost has been seen throughout Pennsylvania, including along Route 1 near Chadd’s Ford, where the Battle of Brandywine occurred and at Valley Forge National Park. There have also been sightings in New Jersey, New York, Virginia, and Canada.
Sometimes Wayne is astride his trusty steed Nab, described as possessing fire-flashing hoofs.
Whether alone or on horseback, Wayne’s ghost looks fierce and determined, as though he is still waging battles against the British and Germans.”
