A new proposal from @CMSgov under @DrOz wants to add catheters, ostomy & trach supplies to Medicare’s competitive bidding program. This is a bad idea and will worsen outcomes for seniors & Medicare recipients. My latest in @MedPageToday explains why ⬇️

Limiting urological, tracheostomy, and ostomy supply options will do more harm than good

I have little time for the radio lately, and when I turn it on, I find very little of interest. So, for those nostalgic for radio signals still active from the Cold War era, I'm posting a minute of "The Buzzer", the World In-Famous 🇷🇺UVB-76 4625kHz. RX in 🇮🇹Milan 20:32z July 28

Ciao! I'm back in 🇮🇹Milan. I spent a few days in the hills near 🏎Modena. Enchanting places, wonderful people, heating amazing food and drinking excellent wine. Now I really don't feel like turning on the radio. See you tomorrow or in the next few days

The 🇫🇷FAV22 signal is transmitted from the “Centre national de mise en oeuvre des tèlècommunications spatiales et radio de Favières-Vernon”. 📍 48,54130° N, 1,23363° E
🇫🇷French do it better. They claim to have a station, FAV22, broadcasting on TWO 😳 HF frequencies, 24/7, to train military radio operators in Morse code. 🤔.In my opinion, they actually send ciphered messages, like 🇮🇱4XZ, Numbers Stations, and similar. 📹: 🇮🇹Milan 21:49z July9

The K-Pop dude is foaming at the mouth. He blocked me since April 2024, and I can't reply to him. He's lying. I've never bothered him privately. He's trying to trick me. I could show you my private messages with him, but doing so, could get me in trouble for violating his privacy
