The advantages of single payer and/or nationalized health care, from a purely self-interested standpoint as a provider:

(1) I don't have to worry as much about what's covered/what isn't covered. I don't have to be familiar with 18 different formularies. I don't have to deal with 18 different provider networks
- Victor Ganata
(2) The chances are much higher that my patients will actually be able to afford their medication and that they'll actually end up getting better, instead of futilely coming every few months for lab tests so I can tell them their blood sugar isn't getting any better, because they're not taking their medication, because they can't afford them, even though they have insurance and work.
- Victor Ganata
(3) I don't have to hire two full time employees just to deal with the bullshit paperwork spewing forth from the 18 different insurance companies, HMOs, and provider networks we regularly deal with.
- Victor Ganata
(4) My employees don't have to deal with corporate bureaucrats who are completely stripped of all empathy, because their bonuses depend entirely on denying my patients care, which therefore encourages them to be completely unhelpful and to force us to run around their futile telephone trees.
- Victor Ganata
(5) The chances are better that I'll actually be able to send my patient to a specialist, or order lab tests or imaging, because the chances are higher that the specialist, laboratory, or radiologist will also actually get paid for thier services, instead of realizing the day of the appointment that, you know what, we don't actually accept this insurance.
- Victor Ganata
(6) I don't have to fill out redundant paperwork for 18 different insurance companies, HMOs, and provider networks to renew my contract with them every year.
- Victor Ganata
*plays Coldplay in the background*
- Rodfather
Hoping the pre authorization for those imaging tests goes away too. Even if we accept the insurance they still deny tests :(

From a private provider: profit rules, it's a business. From a govt option: the individual's & thereby collectively the nation's health is the main concern. Single payer provider? Is that a single private entity or govt as well? Update! Nvmd I reread it, gotcha
- The Real sofarsoShawn
from FFHound!
(7) The chances of having a unified or at least exportable EMR system is more likely, so I don't have to hire someone simply for the task of obtaining and scanning records, and/or sending out copies of medical records via fax, and maybe I won't have to wait days and days and days from unresponsive medical records departments, because all they have to do is hit a button and send it over the Internet.
- Victor Ganata
@Victor, our legal team over interprets privacy laws. We joke that not even the ordering physician will be able to get a report when they finish our policy guidelines.
- Janet-The Bottley Crue
from FFHound!
Victor, but the EMR system is being built on a government contract, which leads to all sorts of problems.
- DJF
They should really just use CPRS/VistA. But the way I understand it works under PPACA is that you can implement whatever private EMR system you want, but the government has to decide that it meets the requirements before it pays you the subsidy for it. So the idea of platform independence is probably a pipe dream, but at least it should cut down on having to schlep paper copies of everything from office-to-office.
- Victor Ganata
I guess everyone's privacy policy is different. As arduous as it sometimes is to get a hold of people's records, I don't think I can really blame the privacy restrictions for the delays.
- Victor Ganata
I don't think pre-authorization will go away. It will actually probably become routine. But patients seem to be more understanding when a pre-auth gets straight-up denied than when the pre-auth is approved, they show up at the lab or the radiology center, and then there's some kind of snafu with their insurance at the time of visit.

If a household avoids one flush a day, it can save up to 4,380 liters (1,157 gallons) of water annually. So your urinal actually saves water.

AJ: right, or you could get a slate like so: http://www.amazon.com/Scuba-D... - for me, I think I like the tradeoff of a reusable board more than having individual sheets of waterproof paper.

I understand. The real-time updates freaked many people out. It is a features that took getting used to, and that's too much to ask for a large user base.

Real time was a shock at first (especially on my old desktop, which couldn't handle it), but now I love it and miss it on other networks.

I'm also permanently paused, but FF's overall model (and, ahem, relatively small size) still works better for me than G+ or the New & Improved Facebook.
- Walt Crawford
Victor, I'm pretty sure the number of comments a post receives figures into Facebook's "Top Stories" algorithm. The thing is, the algorithm is not transparent, and there is not a one-to-one correspondence between commenting and bumping.

You can now get a daily or weekly email digest for anybody's feed on FriendFeed. You'll get a daily or weekly email with the most popular posts from that person's feed. To get the email, click the "Email/IM" link at the top of anyone's feed, and select the "Best of day" or "Best of week" email option.

Great! Thanks! Love FF!

I now get the FriendFeed Feedback posts as a Best of Day email so it doesn't fill up my feed, but I don't miss feedback. I also set up a "Best of Day" email for my "Technology people" friend list so I get a pretty good overview of tech news every day via email.
- Bret Taylor
This is a really cool idea Bret, I wish you can make that an RSS feed option as well. I'd be much more likely to read summaries in RSS than in email.
- manielse (Mark Nielsen)
Lovely. Thanks guys.

Casey: Thanks for the tip. What's the 7 before the "?" mean in the URL? The number of likes or replies needed to be included?

- Meryn Stol

- Dobromir Hadzhiev
Wow, this is really neat! And it links into the idea I expressed earlier, re: reducing signup friction / enabling limited guest privileges. Imagine if I could embed one of my FF rooms on my personal web site, and enable people to subscribe to that feed by e-mail with just a couple of clicks... rather than saying "you can get e-mail notifications but you have to sign up for Friendfeed first." "sign up" -- though admirably lightweight on FF -- is still a huge barrier.
- Adam Lasnik
is there a love button cause I dont like this option I LOVE this option..great work guys
- (jeff)isageek
Three options I would like (1) Can I select "top 100" instead of "top 30"? (2) Could I select both "best of day" and "best of week"? (3) How about older timeperiods? I'd love to get an e-mail with stuff from last week or Mar 2009? Start & end dates? Anything to help me read FriendFeed off-line would be great since I spend long periods off-line at festivals (especially during summer time) or overseas. - Awesome job guys!
- Mitchell Tsai
So this works on groups too, cool! But we still cannot see Best of for groups on the site on friends lists. :-( I have several friends lists that include just groups and when I select to view the best of the page it's empty (even though if I got to the individual best of for those groups there are entries there).
- Kol Tregaskes
does anyone know of a web service that can do this? (I'm thinking weekly email updates of my favorite feeds/people) I don't think there's anything like friendfeed ..

""Once you’ve been putting out records for a while, you get a better feel for what works where," says Kay Gee, 42, "but when we started out, we didn’t know what a pop record was, and we didn’t know what a crossover record was. The only intention we had from day one was, ‘We’ve got to be able to rock this crowd.' " Naughty By Nature followed up "O.P.P." with "Everything’s Gonna Be Alright (Ghetto Bastard)," a forcefully written and fiercely delivered description of growing up broke and disillusioned in Illtown (a slang name for East Orange). Few hard-core rap songs capture the despair, hunger and frustration of poverty as fully as this song did. Once again, Kay Gee sprinkled pop sugar on the track, matching Treach’s harrowing verses with a sample from Bob Marley’s "No Woman, No Cry"; once again, Naughty By Nature had a crossover hit. If "O.P.P" was the warning shot, "Everything’s Gonna Be Alright" was the song that cemented Naughty By Nature’s status: a group that could score hits while maintaining its hard-core credibility."

A new track from Rick the Ruler. From The Sitter soundtrack. What do you think? Is it time for a new Slick Rick album?

"“It was a dope time,” recalls Q-Tip of music’s impact during the early nineties. “N.W.A. was crushing it, and I just remember being influenced by that, how it sounded sonically.” The aggressive, sometimes-violent lyrical approach that went part and parcel to the Gangster-funk era, however, was lost on Tribe. Different but equally as significant, the group fancied a strategy that embraced optimistic Afrocentric energy, laid-back, snarky cleverness, and a confident demeanor that simultaneously asserted their collective emotional maturity. “Like Tip said earlier,” says Phife, adding to a thought started by his fellow MC minutes before, “a lot of people will scare you into believing certain things or liking their material, but it was never like that with us. We just spoke on how we felt at the moment and it was the truth. We were one of those groups that didn’t have a problem admitting that we cried in front of our mothers.”"
