League is in a league of its own, raising $25 million to help employers with a mobile platform to support wellness, health spending and other employee health insurance activities.  Okay, let me add a little more to this; the moron that is the CEO of this company intends to eventually offer health insurance and refers to health insurance as just another industry waiting to be "ubered".  I have news for you, buddy, health care is not like catching a ride somewhere.  Take a good look at all the other startups thinking they are bringing some great technology that is going to revolutionize health care.  IT NEVER HAPPENS.
