      Stephen Helmsley:

      He was managing partner and chief financial officer at Arthur Andersen.

      Super shocking that he was doing insider trading at UHC. They hired a known crook and paid him tens of millions a year.

        Tell me you didn’t go to law school without telling me you didn’t go to law school.

        Edit - As American prisons are a form of institutional violence, your warning that posting Wikipedia links “could be in violation of Federal law” is in itself a call for violence against the original poster. You can self report to the gulags.

        HIPAA can be violated without giving a name, if certain details are disclosed; eg the only 6 year old in the state with rickettsiapox who was admitted on December 21.

        But no, this tweet did not violate HIPAA.

          Right that’s why was careful to say ”identified” and not “named”. If you give someone enough information to infer with certainty a patient’s identity without express permission from that patient, you’re cooked.

        You can kill an infinite number of people across all of time, but it’s not going to change the fact that profit exists to be made. The only solution is legislative. We have to vote DNC, like we did in 2010, but instead of stopping at 58 we need to get to 60. Only then will there be progressive reform with no compromise.

          you’ve had 60. it doesn’t matter. what you need is to vote local and in primaries. you can’t keep letting the party establishment rot take hold and hope it will lead to change in the general elections.
