During a brief AWA run, Terry Funnk lays them in on Jack "The Milkman" Milliman"

Avg annual growth: ~6.1% per year (2005–2025) per the Milliman Medical Index (MMI) for a typical employer-sponsored family. Cumulative increase: Costs nearly tripled ( 188%). ~$12k in 2005 to ~$35k in 2025. overall CPI inflation (~2.5% average) Do something about that @mcuban

Yikes! Overlooked the Milliman Medical Index Report from a couple of weeks ago. They estimate that a family of four is pay over $37k for employer sponsored insurance, an increase of 8% in 2026. Combine that with the @PwCUS estimates for 2027 and we are looking at cumulative inflation of 17% over two years. The bad news for hospitals is that the result of this inflation is more enrollment in high deductible plans. The really bad news is that patients are staying away from high cost care because of the unknown financial consequences. Treat your customers right. Publish your prices.

The city/Union both use Milliman and Segal interchangeably Yes. This defies logic. And both consultants supported forcing us into Medicare Advantage as a “savings” Milliman even did white papers on it. In the most recent contract for active workers that cover 750k lives, a small non profit Emblem Health - a company with financial issues- that has served the city since the 1940s had to partner with United healthcare in order to be eligible for the RFP. And then they moved the PBM to Prime Therapeutics (Amazon) Which infuriated more as their operation is antithetical to the labor movement & your drugs get tossed in the porch or floor in NYC building not secured in your mailbox. Labor isn’t clean In NYC either. They had agreed to move us to Aetna MA & out of traditional Medicare. A council member educated us that Aetna - a company that once sold life insurance on the lives of slaves for slaveholders- should not be forced upon nyc municipal workers. We thought he was crazy. But that was a fact. 😱 Stories I could tell you ….

I took that pic with my iPhone 16 and it looked better on that screen than it does on my large good screen. Here's an adjusted version......

Just gorgeous as I was ending my work day .

That’s a pretty sunset 🤌🤌🤌 Hello from Colorado Springs.

Beautiful evening! Colorado is amazing!

"Glaciation has little effect for English coastal erosion Presently, glaciated areas have been included in continental erosion (6–11%) because glaciers more efficiently erode the substrate.7 Syvitski and Milliman estimate that glaciers cover <10% of their 488 river watersheds used in their database.7" creation.com/en/articles/ero…

You know who is going to change Colorado? Us.....the voters. The vast majority who are not reading or bantering on Twitter or other social media. I feel like all of us on Twitter, in the media, on television news, on talk radio, etc are reaching some voters but are also in our bubbles, our echo chambers, or just plain talking to ourselves just to hear ourselves talk. We need more face to face interaction in our communities and local meetings. I'm guilty as charged. If I'm wrong.....stick a fork in me. About Kent Thiry @KentThiry. He is a big backer of ranked choice voting. In my opinion, ranked choice voting for one voter in a primary or a general election is not Democratic because it dilutes the vote when voting for more than one person on one ballot in one race. There are also other problems with ranked choice voting too. There are other well known movers and shakers of ranked choice voting, notably Amber McReynolds @AmberMcReynolds who is a long time voting and elections consultant and expert as well as a periodic panelist on Colorado Inside Out on @PBS12_CO. Just as bad as ranked choice voting is a situation like the Denver Mayors race in April 2023 with 17 candidates on the ballot where no one got to a 50% majority (top candidate 24%), then the top two went to a runoff in June 2023 (top candidate 55%). No one in mainstream media ever talks about voter turnout. Despite mail in ballots sent out to all 524,000 Denver registered voters, the turnout was 33% in the first race and 31% in the runoff. Of all the registered voters in the City and County of Denver, Mike Johnston as the top candidate really got about 8% of the total vote in the first round and about 17% of the total vote in the runoff. Not very Democratic if you ask me. However, I guess people get what they don't vote for and shouldn't be surprised or complain about who is in office since they didn't vote. Under that argument ranked choice voting REALLY doesn't matter. All politics is local. All media and social media is local too.....and who controls the media? You have three guesses. Who reads "newspapers" anymore? The Denver Post is a shell of its former self along with the other print/online media. Although not perfect, Twitter and podcasts are really the last places for uncontrolled and uncensored free speech for voicing liberty minded values to help fight the government. Facebook and Facebook groups suck. Unfortunately way too many voters don't pay attention, are too busy or productive, are too apathetic, or are too fed up with political parties which lets bad actors into local and state offices by the voters who do care and happen to be state control loving Democrats, progressives, socialists......and dare I say Republicans too. Again if I'm wrong......stick a fork in me. @MandyConnell @Rossputin @JonCaldara @RyanSchuiling @MichaelDBrown @jeffhunt @C_Rourke7 @altond2 @EanThomasTafoya @KristaKafer @SengCenter @coloradopols @AsheinAmerica @RobertTreta @logiclives @heidiganahl @milliman @BreakTheChainsM @Liberty_Rocks @Marsing4Council @DanaPerino @CityCastDenver @denverpost @mrosazza @GenXJenDen @NickRogersBTL @jill_runty @Rebeccaandgus @dobetterdnvr @concernedforco @SarahGeving1 @ShadMurib @DeepNotShallow @MileHighClerk @CityofDenver @MikeJohnstonCO @denversmayor @nexton9news @denverwestword @bradleyforco @COrepKdeGraaf @KirkmeyerforGov @ScottBottomsCO @PatriotMarkCook @Joeoltmann

Tito Santana puts away Jake Milliman, but Referee Ronnie Garvin has his own special delivery for the Milkman. Superstars 6/2/1989

Jealous of Milliman winning the million dollar frozen turkey while he lost the awa tv belt to Greg Gagne

Jesse The Body even made Milliman his tag team partner so The Milkman could finally record a win (the "Give Jake a Break" match) - and they lost! youtu.be/hQeupWfZ0xI

Milliman (whoops)
