Hi, I'm the guy who used to oversee the federal government's agency IT telecommunications contracts. This is extremely bad. There is absolutely no need for this. Not only is it a huge security exposure, but the simplest explanation for this is that it is meant to be a security exposure.

At what point will Triple Canopy deny access to the Supreme Court building?
They will simply not obey the court orders. And they will direct the USMS not to take any steps to enforce those orders. That’s all they have to do.

That’s not just a security guard, it’s a member of the Triple Canopy private paramilitary organization that merged with Erik Price’s notorious Blackwater group.
We were just denied entrance into the EPA after asking to meet with a DOGE representative. More to come.

John Tower said exactly the same thing. Even though he said he was not an alcoholic, not being reliable because of drinking habits when you lead the Pentagon at all hours is not acceptable, so he was rejected even though he was supremely qualified.

This is a great thread about PBM's impacting the costs of drugs.
If DOGE extends its mandate to educating CEOs, about how to Direct Contract with providers and how to work with Pass Through PBMs, then you can change the balance of power in healthcare and change how healthcare in this country works

Let’s start with the pharmacy side. I haven’t seen your contracts, but I already know that if you have a contract with a big PBM you:
1. Don’t control your claims data
2. Don’t control your formulary
3. Have to pay more for “Specialty Drugs” that have nothing special about them

You may not understand why, but the healthcare insurance and PBM contracts YOU have signed for Tesla, SpaceX , @X, along with CEOs of other big companies , have more impact on healthcare costs and quality of care in this country, than anything you can do with DOGE

FYI Pneumovax 23 does not contain adjuvant, which I always avoid.
Pneumonia is one of the most common causes of death among older people, especially in winter. Now we have vaccines against several pathogens that cause it. That's great! And now pneumococcal pneumonia vaccines are recommended for anyone age 50 or older. www.scientificamerican.com/article/new-...
