    HHS final rule scheduled for November 3 excludes some gender dysphoria from its disability definition

    A final HHS rule scheduled to appear in the Federal Register November 3 changes the disability definition used in its section 504 rules for recipients of HHS funding. It says gender dysphoria not resulting from a physical impairment falls within a statutory exclusion. The public-inspection copy leaves its effective date in a 60-day bracket; it is not a new comment deadline.

    GAO reports private health insurance was generally more concentrated in 2024 than in 2011, with three or fewer insurers holding at least 80 percent of each market's enrollment in most states

    The Government Accountability Office reported October 16 that enrollment in private health insurance generally grew more concentrated from 2011 through 2024. By 2024, three or fewer insurers held at least 80 percent of a state's enrollment in 45 of 51 large-group markets, 47 small-group markets and 36 overall individual markets, and in 49 of the 51 ACA individual exchanges, which sit inside the individual market. The report makes no recommendations and does not measure premiums.

    I refuse to make the patient carry the fraudster's blame

    A medical-equipment fraud sentence and a maternal-health reporting notice leave me asking who carries the cost of public accountability. I want strong enforcement against people who steal from health programs, without making patients prove their worth through paperwork that has not shown its value. Convictions, estimates and my argument remain separate.
