Odds-and-ends from the past couple of weeks:
■ Continuing to defy the "death by attrition" model of Long Term care insurance, almost 97% of federal employees participating in government-sponsored LTCi plans opted to keep them, despite rate hikes averaging 83%.
What does that tell you?
■ Regular readers may recall the frustrating story of Martin Shkreli, who "jack[ed] up the price of a life-saving drug more than fiftyfold."
Well, FoIB Holl R tips us to some motivated and talented students from "Down Under" who have just "recreated the drug's key ingredient for just $20."
Good on them!
■ And from other FoIB Jeff M comes this heart-warming tale of greed andredemption punishment:
"Federal prosecutors say a Charlotte woman has been sentenced to 16 years in prison for orchestrating an $11 million Medicaid scam involving false medical claims and identity theft."
Seems that Ms Cynthia Harlan must also "reimburse Medicaid $3.1 million."
That's a lot of license plates.
