If anyone is curious, the previous President and CEO of Saint Anthony Hospital, a safety-net hospital serving mostly uninsured or Medicaid patients, made $771,365 in '22-'23 and $499,295 in other forms of compensation. Dorval Carter is probably in line for something similar.

I don't live in the Midwest or the South. I'm in this forgotten hole, the Mid-South. It doesn't get much coverage because it's so far from each state's major population and political centers. It's culturally unique from the South and Midwest. How do we bring more journalism here?

Yesteday we brought you the story of how health insurers have relied on doctors, some of whom “shut their eyes” to medical opinions that opposed their conclusions
Today @mayatmiller & I tell you the story of “You are better” and “You have made progress”

In dozens of cases ProPublica reviewed, federal judges found that some doctors working for insurance companies engaged in “selective readings” of medical evidence and “shut their eyes” to medical opinions opposing their conclusions. propublica.org/article/menta…

Read this absolutely damning account of how insurers, including United, rely on the same doctors to deny mental health care, even as judges repeatedly question their calls: “puzzling”, disingenuous”, “dishonest”, “baseless”, and more

A month ago, we got a tip from a reader who'd had a delightful run-in w/ a 94-year-old man working at Midway Airport. "He'd make a fascinating subject for a ... story."
@mack_liederman tracked him down.

Trump wants to deport them. Chicago is scaling back help. Meet the migrants stuck in limbo.
The over 51,000 migrants who have arrived in Chicago since 2022 face a dwindling safety net + backlogs in work permit and immigration cases. buff.ly/4glygkf

My latest for @BlockClubCHI — w/ @francialgh and @colinbphoto — is a deep dive on the compounding struggles of migrants in Chicago.
Their safety net is dwindling as our local govt is phasing out resources, and as Trump's anti-immigrant policies loom.

After reviewing leaked documents, we have found UnitedHealth is strategically limiting access to a treatment for thousands of children with autism across the country in order to cut costs.
Advocates say the company’s strategy may be illegal.

Some twenty million Americans are actively preparing for cataclysm—roughly twice as many as in 2017. Political violence, including the spectre of civil war, is one of the reasons. newyorker.com/magazine/2024/…
