How to cut down on Thanksgiving food waste
On November 26, 2024, the US Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) released the Contract Year (CY) 2026 Policy and Technical Changes to the Medicare Advantage (MA) Program, Medicare Prescription Drug Benefit Program (Part D), Medicare Cost Plan Program, and Programs of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) proposed rule ( fact sheet ; proposed rule ). This is part of an annual rulemaking process that includes both substantive and technical changes to the MA, Part D, and PACE programs. This year, the rule proposes new policies related to the coverage of anti-obesity medications in Part D and Medicaid, medical loss ratio and utilization management requirements, use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools, and more. Comments are due by January 27, 2025. In Depth COVERAGE OF ANTI-OBESITY MEDICATION IN PART D AND MEDICAID CMS proposes to reinterpret the Social Security Act so that anti-obesity medications are no longer excluded from Part D or Medicaid coverage when used to reduce excess body weight and maintain weight reduction long-term for individuals with obesity. CMS would recognize obesity as a chronic disease, so coverage would be permitted even if an individual does not have other medically accepted indications for use of the drug, such as diabetes. CMS estimates that over 10 years, this proposed change would increase costs to the federal government by $24.8 billion for Part D and $14.8 billion for Medicaid. This is a proposal that may be scrutinized more closely by the incoming Trump administration before being finalized. MEDICAL LOSS RATIO RULES CMS has proposed several revisions to the medical loss ratio (MLR) regulations, many of which reflect similar changes recently implemented in the commercial and Medicaid MLR rules. For example, CMS proposes to require that provider incentive and bonus arrangements are tied to clinical or quality improvement standards to be included in the MA MLR numerator. CMS also proposes to require that administrative costs be excluded from quality-improving activities in the MA and Part D MLR numerators. Both changes are based on findings from CMS’s commercial market MLR audits, which led to changes in the commercial MLR regulations. Additionally, CMS is proposing new regulations governing MA and Part D MLR audits, including an appeals process, suggesting that we may observe an increase in government scrutiny and potential enforcement action related to MLR reporting in these markets. Additional changes to the MLR rules relate to allocations of expenses between lines of business, the treatment of Medicare Prescription Payment Plan unsettled balances, new data requests from CMS regarding vertical integration and provider payment arrangements, and rules protecting that additional data from public release. BUILDING ON EXISTING PRIOR AUTHORIZATION AND UTILIZATION MANAGEMENT SAFEGUARDS In the 2024 MA and Part D Rule , CMS codified enrollee protections related to prior authorization and utilization management to clarify when and how MA organizations (MAOs) can use these tools. The protections included, among other things, requiring MAOs to post internal coverage criteria publicly and requiring MAOs to establish a Utilization Management Committee to review all utilization management practices. These rules went into effect on January 1, 2024. CMS continued to address prior authorization processes throughout the year, including in the Interoperability and Prior Authorization Final Rule and through a set of frequently asked questions (FAQs). CMS proposes to build on these safeguards by: Defining “internal coverage criteria” to mean any policies, measures, tools, or guidelines, whether developed by an MAO or a third party, that are not expressly stated in applicable statutes, regulations, national or local coverage determinations, or CMS manuals and are adopted or relied upon by an MAO for purposes of making a medical necessity determination Adding rules regarding the publication of internal coverage criteria on MAO websites Clarifying that decisions made contemporaneously with treatment are organization determinations and are, therefore, subject to appeal and other existing requirements Eliminating MAO discretion to reopen approved authorizations for hospital admissions. ENSURING USE OF AI TOOLS DOES NOT PERMIT DISCRIMINATION In recent years, stakeholders have raised questions concerning the role of AI, algorithms, and similar tools in making coverage determinations. CMS described via FAQs that an algorithm or software tool can be used to assist MAOs in making coverage determinations, provided that such tools comply with all applicable coverage determination rules, and that algorithms and AI cannot be used to solely deny certain care. CMS published a request for information in January 2024 soliciting comments on MA plans’ use of AI and the potential impacts on health disparities. CMS now proposes to revise the MA regulations to ensure that services are provided “[e]quitably irrespective of delivery method or origin, whether from human or automated systems[.]” When AI or automated systems are used, the systems must be used in a way that ensures equitable service access. CMS may conduct program audits and/or take enforcement action where an MAO fails to comply with the regulations. OTHER TOPICS Regulating the Administration of Supplemental Benefits Through Debit Cards. MAOs often use debit cards to provide supplemental benefits. CMS proposes to clarify when and how debit cards may be used by an MAO and enrollee, add disclosure requirements around debit cards, and require MAOs to allow an enrollee to receive covered benefits through an alternative method if there is an issue in using the debit card. CMS is also proposing to clarify and codify existing guidance to prohibit MAOs from marketing the dollar value of a supplemental benefit or the method by which a supplemental benefit is administered. CMS is soliciting comments on all aspects of the proposal. Expanding CMS Review of Marketing Materials. CMS proposes to expand the definition of “marketing” to require submission and review of a broader universe of materials. CMS would require submission of all communication materials and activities that are intended to draw a beneficiary’s attention or influence a beneficiary’s plan enrollment decision. CMS seeks comments on the potential financial impact of the proposal. The proposal does not impact materials that are – and will continue to be – designated as “File & Use.” Adding Topics That Agents and Brokers Must Discuss With Prospective Beneficiaries. CMS has developed a list of topics that MAOs and Part D sponsors must ensure their agents and brokers discuss with beneficiaries prior to enrolling the beneficiary in a plan. CMS proposes to expand the number of required topics that must be discussed to include low-income subsidy eligibility, resources for state programs, and additional information for beneficiaries who are enrolling into an MA plan when first eligible for Medicare or those who are dropping a Medigap plan to enroll into an MA plan for the first time. Integrating Provider Directory Information Into Medicare Plan Finder . CMS seeks to enhance Medicare Plan Finder by making provider network information searchable for all MAOs. CMS proposes to require MAOs to submit provider directory information that is formatted to CMS’ specifications for use on Medicare Plan Finder, as well as attest to the accuracy of the data. Consistent with current provider directory standards, MAOs would be required to update the Medicare Plan Finder data within 30 days of receiving information from providers regarding a change in information. CMS proposes an applicability date of July 1, 2025, to allow for online testing and requests feedback on the attestation process. A range of additional topics are addressed in the proposed rule .( MENAFN - Investor Brand Network) Thumzup (NASDAQ: TZUP) , a Los Angeles-based company that is disrupting the social media branding and marketing industry with its unique platform, designed to connect advertisers directly with everyday social media users, is looking to further expand its advertiser reach through strategic integrations with the two leading social media platforms, X (formerly Twitter) and TikTok.

Attorneys for election workers that defamed wrote a scathing letter accusing the former mayor of launching a crusade meant to “to obstruct and intimidate” them as they try to recover his assets. In a Friday to a federal judge, Michael Gottlieb, a lawyer representing election workers Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, accused of orchestrating a “public relations campaign” meant to stop the women from Last December, Giuliani was ordered to pay Freeman and Moss nearly $150 million after a court found he defamed them by falsely claiming they manipulated election results in 2020. The decision led ’s disgraced attorney to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, which has since been . The mother-daughter duo are now what they are owed. But a barrage of recent court filings, including Giuliani’s attempts to appeal, reveal a weeks-long legal battle that the women argue is the former mayor’s attempts to delay, block or obstruct them from collecting what he has been ordered to turn over. Both Giuliani’s new lawyer and those in his inner circle have argued that the former mayor was wronged and have set out on a mission “designed to interfere” with the women’s “efforts to perform their duties by attacking the underlying judgment,” the letter said. Joey Cammarata, who is representing Giuliani after his previous legal team , held a press conference on Wednesday outside of the offices of Willkie Farr & Gallagher, the firm representing the election workers, where he “launched a variety of attacks” against this case, Gottlieb wrote. There, Cammarata called the court-ordered turnover of Giuliani’s belongings a “seek and destroy mission of America’s mayor.” “We will not relent,” he said. “They are doing everything they can to stop Mr. Giuliani from having a formidable defense. We are not going to allow it. ... This firm is doing everything in its power to break an 80-year-old patriot to its country, an American who did so many great things for us.” This rhetoric was also echoed on social media, where the hashtag “IStandWithRudy” started trending, according to lawyers for the election workers. The online campaign was meant to interfere with the turnover efforts by “inciting members of the public to fight (whatever that means),” they wrote. Ted Goodman, used the hashtag in a voicing his opposition to the forced turnover of Giuliani’s 1980 : “I’m calling on ALL Americans to speak out against this lawfare. Shame on the law firm Willkie Farr & Gallagher for participating in this injustice. .” The alleged owner of the Long Island storage facility — where the former Trump lawyer is accused of hiding some items from his New York City apartment — also on X that “this is not going to happen. America has to come back real fast. Pray for , today is his day.” “The public relations campaign described above has no legal purpose — this is a turnover proceeding governed by facts and law, not a political campaign — and, instead, is an obvious attempt to obstruct and intimidate Receivers from effectuating the duties that this Court has authorized them to perform,” Gottlieb wrote. Cammarata’s “publicity stunt, reinforced by Mr. Giuliani’s social media campaign, continues Mr. Giuliani’s issues that he has conceded or stipulated to in court,” he added, seemingly referencing Giuliani’s baseless claims about the about Freeman and Moss, among other spurious statements Giuliani has made on his podcasts and to the media. Earlier this week, the election workers asked a judge in Washington, DC who had presided over their initial case to consider sanctions against Giuliani after he repeated “the exact same lies for which [he] has already been held liable, and which he agreed to be bound by court order to stop repeating” during recent livestreams. The judge required him to respond to the complaint by December 2 — or The women say they have received18 watches and a diamond ring, but they are still waiting on nine other watches and all of his “costume jewelry,” according to their letter. As for the Mercedes, they have physical possession of the vehicle, but still don’t have the deed, title, or right of ownership to the car, or any signed documents transferring its ownership, they said. The Manhattan penthouse is in the process of being transferred, but the former mayor hasn’t delivered the keys, stock, or proprietary lease for the apartment “and apparently has been unable to locate any of the underlying ownership documents,” according to the letter. And there’s been another roadblock: the penthouse remains in the names of both Giuliani and his ex-wife Judith. Attorneys said they have also struggled to obtain the contents of a storage unit in Ronkonkoma, New York, since it’s unclear what is being held there that could be turned over. The unit holds eight storage boxes, more than 20 pallets of moving boxes, and furniture, according to the letter. They are asking Giuliani to segregate his property from all property in the storage unit that they are entitled — along with a list of those items — no later than December 6. It’s unclear whether his Joe DiMaggio jersey, signed art, or sports memorabilia that he has been ordered to turn over is in that facility, the letter says. So the election workers have instructed Giuliani to provide instructions as to where to find these items before the next hearing on November 26 “or explain why he is incapable of doing so” before 3 p.m. on November 25, Gottlieb said. Invoices show that Giuliani appeared to have moved from his Manhattan apartment to the storage unit before the judge ordered him to turn over his belongings. That storage unit is under the name of , the election workers discovered earlier this month.Coote was sacked earlier this month after the emergence of a video in which he made derogatory remarks about Liverpool and their former manager Jurgen Klopp. Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) said that a thorough investigation had concluded he was “in serious breach of the provisions of his employment contract, with his position deemed untenable”. “Supporting David Coote continues to be important to us and we remain committed to his welfare,” PGMOL’s statement on December 9 added. Coote had the right to appeal against the decision but PA understands the Nottinghamshire referee has decided not to. The video which triggered PGMOL’s investigation into Coote’s conduct first came to public attention on November 11. In it, Coote is asked for his views on a Liverpool match where he has just been fourth official, and describes them as “s***”. He then describes Klopp as a “c***”, and, asked why he felt that way, Coote says the German had “a right pop at me when I reffed them against Burnley in lockdown” and had accused him of lying. “I have got no interest in speaking to someone who’s f****** arrogant, so I do my best not to speak to him,” Coote said. Later in the video, Coote again refers to Klopp, this time as a “German c***”. The Football Association opened its own investigation into that video, understood to be centred on that last comment and whether Coote’s reference to Klopp’s nationality constituted an aggravated breach of its misconduct rules. The investigation by PGMOL which led to Coote’s contract being terminated is also understood to have looked at another video which appeared to show Coote snorting a white powder, purportedly during Euro 2024 where he was one of the assistant VARs for the tournament. European football’s governing body UEFA also appointed an ethics investigator to look into the matter.

Precision Strategies Vice President Rich Luchette and the Daschle Group Senior Vice President Joe Hack react to Bill Maher’s aggressive message for Democrats. "Real Time" host Bill Maher said he was considering quitting his political talk show because he couldn't handle another Donald Trump presidency. "I'm s---ting my pants. I may quit," Maher told his guest, actress and activist Jane Fonda, on his " Club Random " podcast on Sunday. "Because I don't want to do another [Trump term]." Maher boasted how he had warned Trump was a "con man" before the rest of the left started calling the President-elect a " threat to democracy ." "I did all the Trump stuff before anybody," he continued. "I've done it...I'm bored with it." HARRIS BACKER JANE FONDA RECALLS DOORS ‘SLAMMED IN HER FACE’ AS SHE BATTLES ‘PATRIARCHY’ "Real Time" host Bill Maher said the Democratic Party needs to look in the mirror following its Election Day defeat this week. (Screenshot/HBO) Fonda asked Maher if he could pivot to something else and not cover Trump instead. "The show is the politics. There is no other thing!" Maher replied. "And he’s going to dominate the news like he always does." Maher and Fonda went on to clash several times in the podcast over their disagreements about the prominence and problems the far-left posed to the Democratic Party. Maher, who has characterized himself as an "old school" liberal, argued with the far-left Fonda about regulations in California , gender ideology in schools, racism in America and how to address climate change. BEVERLY HILLS, CALIFORNIA - JUNE 28: Jane Fonda speaks for the "Destination Tomorrow: A Series Of Inspirational Keynotes" special talk during the 2024 Hollywood Climate Summit at Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences on June 28, 2024 in Beverly Hills, California. ((Photo by Kevin Winter/Getty Images)) Fonda, who has been arrested for her climate activism , insisted that strong environmental regulations were needed because "we live in a soup of toxic chemicals" and "if we don't regulate it, we're all going to die of cancer." "That's true," Maher said, before arguing that many regulations were also not necessary. "You really don't believe the state we live in California is lacking regulations. There's over 300,000 regulations," he said. "Well, maybe they're needed," Fonda replied. NEWSOM PROPOSES $25M FROM STATE LEGISLATURE TO ‘TRUMP-PROOF’ CALIFORNIA Los Angeles, - September 25: Governor Gavin Newsom speaks at a press conference where he signs legislation related to oversight of oil and gas wells, and community protections on Wednesday, Sept. 25, 2024 in Los Angeles, . (Jason Armond / Los Angeles Times via Getty Images) (Jason Armond / Los Angeles Times via Getty Images) After sharing how he had to have three inspections in order to install a new garage door in his house, Maher complained California was over-regulated and over-taxed with "no checks on that sort of extreme leftism." Fonda disagreed, saying she didn't know California had this reputation. "I don't for a minute consider California a state that is extreme leftist. Not at all. Not any way," she said. The pair continued to spar after Maher called the NAACP "far left" for issuing a travel advisory to Florida for Black Americans last year, after Gov. Ron DeSantis banned funding for diversity, equity and inclusion programs at Florida's public universities. "There's stories like that, that just makes people roll their eyes and go, ‘Are you people nuts?’" he said before giving another example of progressives claiming men can "get pregnant." CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURE Actress and activist Jane Fonda denied knowing about the "crazy things" the far-left said and did after being confronted by HBO host Bill Maher. (Adobe Stock) "I understand that a trans woman can get pregnant. That's different than a man getting pregnant. And the way they sort of like insist on blurring that line is if that's some sort of reasonable social cause as opposed to just being for having full rights, respect and protection for trans people?" he said. "I've never heard about men getting pregnant," Fonda shot back, saying Maher's was blowing out of proportion the "miniscule" amount of influence the far left had on the culture. They also clashed over their ideas on how to address climate change, with Fonda warning that Americans needed to cut all our emissions in half immediately to avoid an impending climate crisis. She argued that solar and wind, not "digging, fracking and mining," were the real solutions to solving this crisis. But Maher was critical of Fonda's suggestions, saying that radical clean energy measures were unlikely to get passed by lawmakers and that doomsday predictions about the end of the earth being near had come and passed several times before. CLICK TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP After several rounds of disagreement on political issues, Fonda told Maher she didn't believe they had a lot in common. "Your worldview is just so totally different than mine," she said. Kristine Parks is an associate editor for Fox News Digital.

Higher prices and understaffed travel providers aren’t the only elements ruining the luxury travel experience. Overuse of technology, hotel managers seeking to monetize every inch of their properties, staff outfitted to look like runway models, airline accountants, too much truffle oil, and even fellow guests are making luxury travel less enjoyable. Speaking to over 2,250 travel buyers and executives from more than 2,000 luxury travel brands during the opening ceremony of the International Luxury Travel Market being held this week in Cannes, Canadian magazine publisher, brand agency executive and style guru Tyler Brûlé reeled off a litany of places that he says the industry is letting down guests. However, guests weren’t shielded from his sharp criticisms. Using tablets at check-in instead of just jotting down your address and signing means navigating different keyboards, which can be confusing and frustrating for jet-lagged visitors. This is not the best way to start your stay. Sins of Silicon Valley continue into your room, where he says glass-plated touchscreen control panels make turning the lights on or off another test of patience. However, QR codes top the list of tech misdeeds, which he says have often replaced printed leather-bound folders with high-quality paper that was easy to peruse. In some cases, he has found multiple codes, “so you don’t know if you are getting room service or housekeeping.” Oh, and what about just standard power outlets conveniently located next to both sides of the bed instead of a host of different plugs, usually none of which work for your device? It wasn’t just the IT department that Brûlé took to task. He criticized hotels that no longer have comfortable seating in the lobby to wait for a friend or just people-watch without being hounded to order a drink, as well as big city hotels that close their bars before 10 pm. And then there is the staff, which Brûlé says are often outfitted so they are mistaken for guests and, in some cases, don’t even have name tags. While he says uniforms “don’t have to look like you’re from a circus,” they are “part of the brand,” like a “fantastic logo.” Training should also remind staff about the old three-ring rule, which dictated picking up the phone on the first ring. “There is a paying guest on the other end of the line,” he told the audience of hotel executives. Oh, and stop it with the truffle oil (on everything from potato chips to cashews) and put a hold on those brand scents “that follow you home in your luggage.” This brings us to airline procurement executives, who Brûlé says need a lesson in ordering comfortable pillows. The current offerings at the front of the airplane are either too flimsy or resemble “a stuffed rugby ball.” And you could be part of the problem. Brûlé says he is tired of people holding Zoom meetings in the lobby as if they were at WeWork and playing YouTube videos on full blast in the fine dining restaurant. He says hotels should send out guidelines outlining proper attire and etiquette. He also suggests hotels bring back soundproof phone booths around the hotel so guests can rant without letting everyone at the pool know about their problems. And by the way, add windows that open to what makes a luxury hotel luxury.Rana reviews winter preparedness of Jal Shakti Dept
