Thread: WORD TO THE WISE>> During this coronavirus crisis, keep an eye on every move of my old industry: health insurers. Behind the PR spin, they will be doing everything they can to deny care & maintain profits, while making it look like they’re heroes. Here’s what to look for
The president said that insurers “have agreed to waive all copayments for coronavirus treatments.” Don’t count on that. Insurers’ biggest trade group (“AHIP”) said soon after Trump’s speech that what insurers would waive would be cost-sharing for testing. Not treatment. (2/10)— Wendell Potter (@wendellpotter) March 13, 2020
Case in point: My old company Cigna says it will cover the cost of COVID-19 testing — but makes no mention of waiving copays or deductibles for *treatment*. Check out their carefully crafted wording here: (4/10)https://t.co/VfXydwLHSp— Wendell Potter (@wendellpotter) March 13, 2020
One of the most-watched metrics for health insurance companies is called the “medical loss ratio.” The more insurers pay for care, the higher the ratio is. (It’s called the medical loss ratio because insurers consider it a loss when they pay a claim.) 6/10— Wendell Potter (@wendellpotter) March 13, 2020
Remember: For-profit insurers are in the business to make a profit. Period. And they do better when you don’t need them or remember they exist. But when a crisis like this erupts, they get scared. Why? Because folks like you will see what they really do and don’t cover. (8/10)— Wendell Potter (@wendellpotter) March 13, 2020

From a GOP source: "We're worried because of how bad he did in primetime and how whenever he opens his mouth the market tanks and people panic even more. It's not a good look for the U.S."

Donald Trump just stood at a podium in the Rose Garden and blatantly lied about Google developing a website that would screen people on whether or not they need a test for the coronavirus. We know this because moments later Google flatly denied it. This is our reality.

Google confirms that it is not building a nationwide coronavirus screening website, contrary to what Trump announced. Another Alphabet company, Verily, has an early project that only works in the Bay Area. @backlon with the scoop:

A senior White House official now says the coronavirus bill deal has hit a snag. That person says “Text doesn't yet reflect agreement between Secretary Mnuchin and Speaker Nancy Pelosi.”

Since lots of people have asked me: No, Trump cannot use his executive powers, even in a national emergency, to delay the November 2020 election. Only Congress can set the date of the presidential election.

Four people at Mar-a-Lago with Trump last weekend have now tested positive for coronavirus: Bolsonaro's lawyer Karina Kufa, his aide Fabio Wajngarten, Miami mayor Francis Suarez, and an unnamed Republican donor. Probably more.

Down to a four day supply of gloves *at the hospital*. Tracks with what Seattle’s mayor told me tonight about their local first responders also running out of gloves, goggles, and masks.

Thread: I just spent hours waiting, outside, in the cold and rain, at Cedars Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles waiting to get my daughter tested for #coronavirus after a week of symptoms and the discovery of a recent exposure.
We were told to sit outside in the driveway of the ER in the rain for over two hours and only got into the tent after I went back into triage twice and frankly, kind of freaked out. When we finally got into the tent, we were treated respectfully and with kindness by the doctor.— Alex Kapp (@realalexkapp) March 14, 2020
health issues. It is not their fault. I felt bad for him and for the hard-working nurses and administrators who are basically flying blind. They have no real data. They have no tests. And he told us that even if we could test her, the test is incomplete and would have to be sent— Alex Kapp (@realalexkapp) March 14, 2020
But I am guessing we will be billed in some way, as the tent was outside the ER. And then we were released. All we are trying to do is prevent spread on the off chance that we have the virus. But we left the hospital after almost three hours with no more information— Alex Kapp (@realalexkapp) March 14, 2020
Please be kind to the doctors, nurses, administrators, and healthcare workers who are just as uniformed and unprepared as we are. They are at the mercy of the information being farmed out to them. And they are going to be under siege. The reality is...— Alex Kapp (@realalexkapp) March 14, 2020
Stay home. Self-quarantine. Be smart. And be kind. We are all in this together. Seriously. The whole world. So let's not go all Lord of the Flies and steal and hoard and accuse. This may be a while. So let's try to behave in a way that we can feel okay about when it's all over.— Alex Kapp (@realalexkapp) March 14, 2020

Despite Speaker Pelosi announcing an agreement with the White House, there has now been a significant snag, based on what @Phil_Mattingly & I are hearing. Secretary Mnuchin was supposed to be on Lou Dobbs’s show earlier this hour but it’s been pushed...
On the show at the last minute, right before it ends, Mnuchin says, "We have an agreement that reflects what the president talked about the other night."— Kaitlan Collins (@kaitlancollins) March 14, 2020
JUST IN: White House puts out memo from Trump's physician saying his exposure to two people who developed coronavirus doesn't require self-quarantine or a test.

The House overwhelmingly passed 363-40 the economic relief bill for the coronavirus, dedicating tens of billions of dollars for paid sick leave, unemployment insurance, free testing and other measures to help Americans impacted by the crisis.
