Disruptive-model health plan Oscar Health, which has raised a huge amount of capital at a ludicrous valuation, is having trouble finding customers, but remains optimistic, according to a Bloomberg story.  Uhhh, this isn't a business where a fly-by-nite business model is going to get anywhere.

The American Medical Association has shockingly discovered that the proposed health plan mega-mergers would hurt competition in many markets!!  They are probably right, wish they would look at physician and hospital mergers the same way.
