If #Texas finds a way to regulate #PBM interactions with #SelfFunded employer #HealthInsurance, that could lead to a wide range of health care provider groups trying to adopt a similar strategy. #ERISA #Legislation https://buff.ly/4gHuEsk

The largest #ASO organizations have increasing market leverage over #employers as customers. Unfortunately, they don’t (yet) have enough leverage to drive lower prices in many markets. #HealthInsurance #SelfFunded https://buff.ly/4awTBFh

For most of us, #superannuation is about saving for retirement. For people who are already wealthy it’s an effective tax minimisation system allowing them to pass on more wealth to their kids. Tax concessions to this latter group cost taxpayers - all of us - a motsa, while a quarter of age pensioners live in poverty.

This is so obvious! Yet even the most modest reduction of these tax breaks is greeted with a media scare campaign. And as always, #Labor puts perceived political risk ahead of responsible governance.

#SelfFunded retirees* with huge super balances? #YeahRight We see you. #AusPol 🎪

* This is a diverse group, as I have been reminded in the comments below. Not all are retiring in luxury or passing on millions to their kids.
