Why would the insurance pay only 20% if it's a negotiated rate?
Re:After decades, FDA moves to pull ineffective decongestant off shelves

Meanwhile generic decongestants like Ambroxol that actually work are too expensive to go through FDA approval.

Maybe a shorter duration(<5yrs) patent(for lack of better word) for unapproved generics might do the trick.

I always wondered why Starbucks never capitalized on this. Charging station outside with discount if you buy at the store.
Re:Wiz walks away from $23B deal with Google

Most likely reason is FTC. Wiz integrates with big 4 cloud providers. No way FTC is allowing Google to take control. JD Vance's nomination and support for current FTC chair(Lina Khan) doesn't help.
Current FTC is good(personal opinion) from anti trust point of view but maybe bad for startup exits[0].

Are there any studies estimating the cost of this kafakasque nightmare? End of the day users pay for this via higher premiums. I am sure doctor's offices also face something similar.

Attempting to research if tax prep companies had gained consent to disclose and use data from its users, Congress was blocked by the companies, who refused to "provide current and historical versions of disclosure agreements and privacy policies." Undeterred, Congress consulted Internet archives to access historical versions of company policies and pieced together that none of the companies appeared to have gained consent from their customers to share the sensitive data with Meta and Google.
Internet archives to the rescue
