American taxpayers have handed out over $24 billion in subsidies to purchase health insurance under the new law. HHS has said it doesn't know if the recipients were actually eligible, but maybe by 2022 they will have some idea. What a joke.
Send out the alarm and don't worship this company, but Revere, which is "demystifying the connection between fitness and nutrition" has gotten $2 million in seed financing. No day would be complete without at least one item of investment lunacy.
Magellan Health, a diversified health managment and services firm, is acquiring Senior Whole Health, which offers Medicare/Medicaid dual eligible plans, for $400 million.
Payment accuracy services vendor Cotiviti is acquiring RowdMap, a provider of health care analytics to help health systems and plans reduce unnecessary services, for $70 million.
Solar Health shines, attracting $18 million from investors' rainy day funds for its platform of services for diabetes prevention and non-clinical care resources.
In my ongoing effort to prove that there is too much capital chasing deals in health care, I offer people's exhibit 37, in which headcases invest $37 million in Headspace, which offers a meditation app.
