Getting paid begins with patient engagement | Medical Economics
Patient engagement begins by recognizing that greater responsibility for payment has also led to greater expectation and choice on the part of patients.
Asking valued patients for money is one of the least favorite activities of the staff in independent health care practices. Especially these days when more patients have opted for high-deductible plans requiring higher out-of-pocket expenses, and at the same time, are feeling the financial impact and personal stress of the COVID-19 crisis.
Imperiling quick $1,400 checks, moderate Republicans push back on Biden's economic plan
WASHINGTON — Key moderate Republicans in the Senate dismissed quick action on President Joe Biden's top priority of a $1.9 trillion economic package , indicating that the $1,400 stimulus payments he requested could take months, or never arrive.
Democrats need to convince 10 Republicans in the Senate, which might require asking for less funding than Biden initially requested, or bypassing the 60-vote threshold utilizing a parliamentarian maneuver.

Daily chart - China's economic centre of gravity is moving south | Graphic detail | The Economist
"DON'T INVEST beyond Shanhaiguan" has been a popular quip in China for years, referring to a pass in the Great Wall that leads to the north-eastern rust belt. Online pundits have recently updated the maxim to "don't invest outside the Southern Song", a dynasty that fell almost 750 years ago whose territory was roughly the same as China's southern half today. The joke contains a kernel of truth: China's southern provinces are outperforming northern ones in nearly every economic dimension.
Could Amsterdam's New Economic Theory Replace Capitalism? | Time
Now, Amsterdam is grappling with what the doughnut would look like on the ground. Marieke van Doorninck, the deputy mayor for sustainability and urban planning, says the pandemic added urgency that helped the city get behind a bold new strategy. “Kate had already told us what to do. COVID showed us the way to do it,” she says. “I think in the darkest times, it’s easiest to imagine another world.”
But if there’s an ecological overshoot for the planet, she thought, there’s also the opposite: shortfalls creating deprivation for humanity. “Kids not in school, not getting decent health care, people facing famine in the Sahel,” she says. “And so I drew a circle within their circle, and it looked like a doughnut.”
