Lawyers Protest Mandate To File Suspicious Activity Reports
What happens when one of the most irresistible of contemporary regulatory trends – the continued chipping away of financial privacy – runs into one of the most formidable of interest groups, organized lawyerdom? The lawyers resist, andin this case the lawyers are right: ABA President Hilarie Bass is expressing concerns that an anti-money laundering bill would undermine the attorney-client privilege and impose “burdensome and intrusive regulations” on small businesses and their lawyers.In a letter to leaders of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Bass asks the committee to oppose the bill, known as the TITLE Act fo...

How this physician became an art mogul
I truly believe that the business asset class is important in supercharging the race to financial independence. While many dream of starting their own Google or Amazon, I find myself much more interested in the small, less scalable business. The kind that spins off some revenue, builds experience and know how, and is fun.
Although I have owned multiple small businesses (mostly medical practices and real estate), the one that I am most proud of was relatively short-lived.
For a few years, I was an art mogul.

Securing America's Future Act Is a Net Negative for the Immigration System
President Trumpis backing the Securing America ’s Future (SAF) Act drafted by key House Republicans. The SAF Act is a comprehensive immigration reform bill posing as a DACA fix. It is414 pages long and touches on every major area of the immigration system —family, employment, and diversity legal immigration, humanitarian programs, workplace enforcement, temporary visas, interior enforcement, border security, criminal penalties, and much else. Comprehensive immigration reform is fine, but this massive, complex bill expands the scope of the debate so far from DACA that it cannot seriously be considered an answer to this ...

Nevada Proposes Drug Transparency Regulations
We have written many times on the Nevada law passed in Summer 2017 that requires patient advocacy organizations to report all payments they receive from industry, regardless of the nature of the payment.
The legislation was signed into law by Nevada Governor Brian Sandoval in June 2017 and now the Nevada Department of Health is working on regulations to implement the law.
The current draft regulations require manufacturers and pharmacy benefit managers to submit a report by April 1st of each year for the previous calendar year that outlines the costs and rebates related to drugs listed on the List of Essential Diabetes D...

Ill-Informed, Incompetent* Health Care Leadership: the Case of President Trump's Interview in the New York Times
ConclusionsWe have frequently criticized the leadership of big health care organizations as ill-informed, incompetent, ignorant of or even hostile to the values of health care professionals, deceptive, self-interested, conflicted or even corrupt. The President of the United States is the country ' s most important health care leader, since all government agencies that deal with health, health care, health care policy, etc report to him. Unfortunately, we have previously discussed examples of how the president appeared to be an ill-informed or incompetent health care leader, for examplehere. So it would be easy t...

On the Morality of Insurance Premiums
By ANISH KOKA, MD
As CVS-Aetna merger talks fill the air this Christmas season and experts weigh in on the impact this will have on the economy and consumers alike, I’m sitting at a little desk in a little office contemplating health insurance.
I run a little shop that’s about as far from CVS-Aetna as you can get in the health care space : a solo practice doctor with four full time employees and revenues a little south of $65 billion dollars. I shouldn’t feel too alone. Small businesses account for 99% of US firms and employ almost half of all private sector employees. But knowing my problem is one shared b...

Drama Addiction: Are You Stuck in a Toxic Cycle?
Everything always going wrong? Ask yourself these questions.
Do you think that your life should be a reality TV show since it’s just a series of dramas every year?
Are your friends and family in a position of constantly getting you out of some sort of actual or emotional crisis?
If you said yes, life must be tiring for you and people around you.
Actually, it seems mostly tiring for others because you must be gaining some thrill out of all the drama, or you would re-evaluate your decision-making process to stabilize your life.
For example, Denise is 30 years old. She has gone through one relationship per year for the...

Time to Bury the Williamson County Rule
Claims for unconstitutional takings of property against state actors should not be treated differently than other fundamental rights claims and relegated to second-class status. Thirty years ago, inWilliamson County Regional Planning Commission v. Hamilton Bank, the U.S. Supreme Court pronounced a new rule that a property owner must first sue in state court to ripen a federal takings claim. As illustrated byKnick v. Township of Scott, Pennsylvania, in which Cato has filed abriefsupporting the property owner ’s petition to the Court—joined by the NFIB Small Business Legal Center, Southeastern Legal Foundation, and Beaco...

Opioid crisis: Could the'pain-o-meter' be a solution? - USA Today
Every year, millions of Americans will go to their doctors complaining of pain, and their doctors will ask them to rate their degree of discomfort on a zero-to-10 scale, or using a range of smiley-face symbols.The doctor will have to take their word for it. And then, all too often, the doctor will prescribe a powerful and addictive opioid painkiller.It's a longstanding — if imprecise and subjective — way of measuring and treating pain. And it's at least partly responsible for starting an opioid addiction crisis that killed 64,000 people last year."One of the things we heard from many physicians is that the...

Tax Reform, the IRS, Cybersecurity, and Privacy
The current tax reform debate has focused on economic growth and the value of cuts to different groups of taxpayers. Tax simplification has received less attention, and Republican bills would only make modest gains in that regard.Yet a major tax code simplification would not only save time on administration, it would increase financial privacy and deter cyberattacks on the Internal Revenue Service.A new study by Michael Hatfield of the University of Washington looks at the risks posed by the IRS ’s vast data collection on 290 million Americans. The more micromanagement there is in the tax code, the more information the I...
