Judge blocks $54 billion Anthem-Cigna health insurance merger

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...billion-anthem-cigna-health-insurance-merger/

"A federal judge blocked the $54 billion merger between health insurance giants Anthem and Cigna on Wednesday, saying the deal would increase prices and reduce competition."

"The evidence has also shown that the merger is likely to result in higher prices, and that it will have other anticompetitive effects: it will eliminate the two firms’ vigorous competition against each other for national accounts, reduce the number of national carriers available to respond to solicitations in the future, and diminish the prospects for innovation in the market,” U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson wrote in a 12-page order.

"Anthem's chief executive, Joseph R. Swedish, said in a statement that the company would “continue to work aggressively to complete the transaction” and would file an appeal. “Anthem is significantly disappointed by the decision, as combining Anthem and Cigna would positively impact the health and well-being of millions of Americans — saving them more than $2 billion in medical costs annually,” Swedish said."
 
Startup Enlistics hopes to predict driver turnover with social media data

http://www.ccjdigital.com/startup-e...urnal&ust_id=124f9551466b2c5785e539d1cda3c973

"The software flags phrases — both good and bad – that correlate with success or failure, based on historical employment data. For instance, one such “bad” phrase known to correlate with employee turnover is “I’m so drunk ….”

“You’d be surprised how many applicants we find who post something somewhere like that, and it’s just a red flag,” Mance said. “Another is ‘I’m sick of …"

Anyone find this a little bit disturbing?

Not surprised at all, lobbying is part of their job description and I'd be willing to bet that they spend more time in DC than they do at "the office".

Disturbing...I'd say not surprised. Companies have been using social media to assist in determining hiring purposes for years, now using it in an attempt to predict driver turnover is not surprising.

Lobbying for the 33's. But Trump keeps telling them they're too yuuuuge...
 
BREAKING: This State Just Intorduced Bill To Make It Legal To PLOW DOWN Protestors

http://www.americasfreedomfighters.com/2017/02/11/state-introduced-bill-plow/

“Tort Liability and Reform – As introduced, provides civil immunity for the driver of an automobile who injures a protester who is blocking traffic in a public right-of-way if the driver was exercising due care. – Amends TCA Title 19; Title 20; Title 29, Chapter 34; Title 54 and Title 55.”

"While protesting is a first amendment right, there are laws that govern how it must be done. There is a vast difference between a peaceful protest and a riot. It is already an offense to obstruct highways and streets to the public in the state of Tennessee. It seems that these Democrats forget that the rights of protesters end when they infringe upon the rights of others. Refusing to allow others to freely travel on the roadways or to get the medical care they need infringes upon the rights of others."

A round of applause for the great state of Tennessee! It's about time someone stood up to these arrogant a-holes.
