What is the INDIAN HEALTH SERVICE?

Posted on November 4, 2022 by The D.E.A. ROGUE WARRIOR

ABOUT THE I.H.S

By Dr. Dvid Edward Marcinko MBA CMP®

SPONSOR: http://www.CertifiedMedicalPlanner.org

According to Wikipedia, the Indian Health Service (IHS) is an operating division (OPDIV) within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). IHS is responsible for providing direct medical and public health services to members of federally-recognized Native American Tribes and Alaska Native people. IHS is the principal federal health care provider and health advocate for Indian people.

The IHS provides health care in 36 states to approximately 2.2 million out of 3.7 million American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/AN). As of April 2017, the IHS consisted of 26 hospitals, 59 health centers, and 32 health stations. Thirty-three urban Indian health projects supplement these facilities with a variety of health and referral services. Several tribes are actively involved in IHS program implementation. Many tribes also operate their own health systems independent of IHS. It also provides support to students pursuing medical education in order staff Indian health programs.

EDITOR’S NOTE: I did a rotation at a Federally Qualified Health Center through the I.H.S. when I was a surgical fellow back in the day. I enjoyed it immensely. Consulting services since then.

Two Year Treasury Yields = HIGH!

Posted on November 4, 2022 by The D.E.A. ROGUE WARRIOR

By Staff Reporters

***

***

U.S. bond yields just rose to new cycle highs as the fallout from the Federal Reserve’s latest interest rate hike and commentary reverberated across markets. The policy-sensitive 2-year rate broke intermittently above 4.7%, shrinking its spread to the 10-year rate to as little as minus 60.9 basis points in a worrisome sign of the economic outlook. The 2-year yield finished the New York session at its highest level in more than 15 years.

What’s happening

The yield on the 2-year Treasury rose 13.1 basis points to 4.699% from 4.568% on Wednesday. Thursday’s level is the highest since July 25, 2007, based on 3 p.m. figures from Dow Jones Market Data.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury advanced 6.4 basis points to 4.123% from 4.059% as of late Wednesday. Thursday’s level is the highest since Oct. 24.
The yield on the 30-year Treasury climbed 2.9 basis points to 4.151% from 4.122% Wednesday afternoon.

PODCAST: What is the “Diluted” Stock Effect?

Posted on November 4, 2022 by The D.E.A. ROGUE WARRIOR

WHAT IT IS – HOW IT WORKS

BY DR. DAVID E. MARCINKO MBA CMP®

SPONSOR: http://www.CertifiedMedicalPlanner.org

The lowering of the book or market value of the shares of a company’s stock as a result of more shares outstanding. A company’s initial registration may include more shares than are initially issued when the company goes public for the first time.

Later, an issue of more stock by a company (called a “primary offering,” distinguished from the “initial public offering”) dilutes the existing shares outstanding.

Also, earnings-per-share calculations are said to be “fully diluted” when all common stock equivalents (convertible securities, rights, and warrants) are included. “Fully diluted” numbers are used in analysis when there is a likelihood of conversion or exercise of rights and warrants.

STABLECOINS: Altering the US Banking System?

Posted on November 4, 2022 by The D.E.A. ROGUE WARRIOR

By Staff Reporters

***

***

DEFINITION: Stablecoins are cryptocurrencies where the price is designed to be pegged to a reference asset. The reference asset may be fiat money, exchange-traded commodities, or a cryptocurrency.

CITE: https://www.r2library.com/Resource/Title/082610254

***

In fact, Stablecoins could have such a profound effect on the established banking system that U.S. regulators need to require that the digital tokens fit in without disrupting it, said Martin Gruenberg, the acting chairman of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (FDIC). His remarks were delivered at a Brookings Institution event recently.

Gruenberg’s agency is among the U.S. banking watchdogs that will have significant influence over how stablecoins are regulated, and the FDIC has also had to weigh in with recent sanctions against firms – such as FTX US – that have made claims misrepresenting how FDIC deposit insurance backstops their operations. As U.S. banks have increasingly sought to offer crypto services, including maintaining custody of customer’s digital assets, Gruenberg said that his agency has been cautious about allowing regulated lenders to engage.

WHAT IS THE “LUXURY PRODUCT” ECONOMIC PARADOX?

Posted on November 4, 2022 by The D.E.A. ROGUE WARRIOR

WHAT IS THE “LUXURY PRODUCT” ECONOMIC PARADOX?

By Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA

Courtesy: http://www.CertifiedMedicalPlanner.org

The more expensive something is – the less likely you are to use it. This relationship between price and product utility is graphed as an “inverted U.”

CITE: https://www.r2library.com/Resource/Title/082610254

DAILY UPDATE: Stocks Ended Lower Following FOMC Decision

Posted on November 4, 2022 by The D.E.A. ROGUE WARRIOR

By Staff Reporters

***

***

U.S. equities extended yesterday’s sharp drop that followed the Federal Reserve’s fourth-straight 75-basis point rate hike and some hawkish comments. As a result of the Fed’s monetary policy decision, Treasury yields and the U.S. dollar climbed noticeably higher. The Fed’s rate hike was trailed by today’s announcement from the Bank of England to hike its benchmark interest rate by 75 bps, though it tried to suppress expectations of future aggressiveness of that magnitude.
The U.S. dollar’s rally came as the British pound fell, along with the euro, as the markets digested the monetary policy actions and comments.

Crude oil prices fell, and gold traded lower. In economic news, jobless claims dipped, the trade balance widened more than expected, Q3 productivity rebounded less than fore-casted and labor costs moderated more than projected. Additionally, factory orders figures were mixed, along with October reads on services sector output. Earnings season continues to roll on, with Qualcomm cutting its guidance, though eBay topped estimates and issued a positive outlook. Moreover, Booking Holdings topped expectations and Marriott decreased despite exceeding profit projections.

Asian stocks declined, though markets in Japan were closed for a holiday, and European stocks were mostly lower as the markets digested the decisions from the Fed and Bank of England.

What is a Federally Qualified Health Center?

Posted on November 4, 2022 by The D.E.A. ROGUE WARRIOR

ABOUT F.Q.H.C.s

By Dr. David E. Marcinko MBA CMP®

SPONSOR: http://www.CertifiedMedicalPlanner.org

I worked at several FQHCs as a medical student and intern, back in the day, both in urban and suburban settings. But, I never was sure what this entity was, exactly. Probably because I was from an under served area, myself.

DEFINITION:

A Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) is a reimbursement designation from the Bureau of Primary Health Care and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services of the United States Department of Health and Human Services. This designation is significant for several health programs funded under the Health Center Consolidation Act (Section 330 of the Public Health Service Act).

It is a community-based organization that provides comprehensive primary care and preventive care, including health, oral, and mental health/substance abuse services to persons of all ages, regardless of their ability to pay or health insurance status.

Thus, they are a critical component of the health care safety net. FQHCs are called Community/Migrant Health Centers (C/MHC), Community Health Centers (CHC), and 330 Funded Clinics. FQHCs are automatically designated as health professional shortage facilities.

What is Financial CARRIED INTEREST?

Posted on November 4, 2022 by The D.E.A. ROGUE WARRIOR

A TAX LOOPHOLE?

BY DR. DAVID E. MARCINKO MBA CMP®

SPONSOR: http://www.CertifiedMedicalPlanner.org

Carried interest, or carry, in finance, is a share of the profits of an investment paid to the investment manager in excess of the amount that the manager contributes to the partnership, specifically in alternative investments (private equity and hedge funds).

CITE: https://www.r2library.com/Resource/Title/0826102549

In small businesses that are not blind pools, such as single property real estate, the investment manager often funds the business prior to the formation of the partnership. It is a performance fee, rewarding the manager for enhancing performance. The structure also takes advantage of favorable tax treatment in the United States.

However, critics of carried interest want it to be reclassified as ordinary income – not capital gains – to be taxed at the ordinary income tax rate. Private equity advocates argue that the increased tax will subdue the incentive to take the kind of risk that is necessary to invest in and manage companies to profitability.

PHARMA: Will Americans Finally See Drug Prices Decrease?

Posted on November 4, 2022 by The D.E.A. ROGUE WARRIOR

By Health Capital Consultants, LLC

***

***

According to the White House, “Americans pay two to three times as much as people in other countries for prescription drugs, and one in four Americans who take prescription drugs struggle to afford their medications. Nearly 3 in 10 American adults who take prescription drugs say that they have skipped doses, cut pills in half, or not filled prescriptions due to cost.” In an effort to combat this growing crisis, both the federal government and private companies have taken a number of steps over the past year aiming to lower drug prices. This Health Capital Topics article will review those actions and the potential unintended consequences of these actions.
