Lala's and Creme & Co aren't bad, but it's been a while since I was out that ways. Can't attest to the coffee as I only had tea. At Lala's they now have something called a Puddle. Not a huge chocolate fan, but the description has me curious.

Kid commented that they had heard T put out an EO renaming #AI as #SuperIntelligence and there was a spelling error on it. I asked "Did you check the source?" and showed him how to do that (THE STORY WAS TRUE!) which led to a great learning moment about 'misinformation', 'disinformation' and truth.

Nope. Running when it's because you are being chased by a wild animal OR running after a wild animal you want to eat are the only natural forms.

Say you just ran without saying you just ran (any distance, but for me, it was 3.1 miles). You go to lean down on your knees and your elbows slip off from the sweat. The sweat on your knees. Oy. #running #runner #exercise #health

We currently have an administration that didn't see the use for the UN anymore, so they stole it and tacked it onto the front. UN-united States of America. I know that's not grammatically correct, but they don't care about laws or grammar now, do they?

Reading into it, and going with the sloshing bathtub analogy, a Kelvin wave by itself isn't horrific in a Roland Emmerich sort of way, but combined with coinciding factors could rate at least a made for TV movie.

The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed... "How will you pay for it?" The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts... "How much do you need?" It doesn't have to be this way.

Here is the letter. So is #IBX holding back money? Didn't the #ACA state that a certain % of the premiums we pay should go towards care? There are enough uncertainties in life, healthcare shouldn't be one of them.
Dear Patient,

Our records show that you have health insurance through Independence Blue Cross (IBX). We want to keep you informed about contract discussions between Jefferson Health and IBX that could affect your access to Jefferson Health starting January 1, 2027.

We are working with IBX to reach a fair agreement that keeps Jefferson Health in your network and protects your access to the doctors, hospitals, and care you trust.

Jefferson Health will remain in-network with IBX through December 31, 2026. You can continue seeing your Jefferson Health doctors and receiving in-network care during that time. If a new agreement is not reached, Jefferson Health could become out-of-network with IBX beginning January 1, 2027.The Facts
Many families in Pennsylvania are paying more for health insurance than the national average. At the same time, hospitals in Pennsylvania are paid about 14% less by commercial health plans than hospitals across the country. In southeastern Pennsylvania, hospitals are paid nearly 40% less than the national average. Consistent with this trend, IBX pays Jefferson Health about 40% less than the national average.

As a result, less of the money patients and employers pay for health insurance reaches the doctors and hospitals that provide care. These lower payments make it harder for Jefferson Health to keep up with rising costs due to inflation. Fair payment helps us:
Recruit and keep talented doctors, nurses, and care team members
Offer advanced treatments and specialized care
Maintain important services in the communities we serve
Continue providing high-quality care close to home
We are not asking IBX to increase your premiums. We are not asking to be paid more than other health systems. We are asking IBX to put the money it already collects towards your care.

I get an email that #JeffersonHealth and #IndependenceBlueCross are in "contract negotiations" & that people under #IBX plan might suddenly find their doctors "Out of Network". This is ridiculous. Healthcare should never be 'out of network'. We need #SinglePayerHealthcare that covers HEALTH CARE
