GO COVFEFE URSELF😄

The TV Networks (specifically Fox and ABC) are refusing to run this ad for @SavingCollSprts today during the games. No good reason given as to why - just ignoring us or telling us to contact their attorneys. The General Council for one major network told me it was a “business decision”. This was AFTER we’d sent them a large wire to pay for the ads! Why would the networks want to silence a legitimate debate around an issue that affects hundreds of thousands of kids and is existentially threatening to women’s sports and Olympic sports? What is the “business reason” that overrides the benefit and enjoyment that college sports provide to tens of millions of Americans? What are they hiding?? If there was ever a question that money, control, and greed are being prioritized over student athletes, fans, and communities…Here you go!! We all knew that the current situation in college sports seemed very slimy and was driven by people who couldn’t care less about the common good…. But we had no idea how bad it truly is!! It’s become obvious…We have to drain the swamp that College Sports have become!! This fight isn’t about me, and it certainly isn’t about TV ads - it’s much bigger. It’s about doing what is right and necessary to save a great American institution. I promise that I won’t stop fighting until we are successful in solving this problem, and I know I can count on many of you to join me!

I’m really sick of hearing this - the government is not subsidizing people. They’re subsidizing insurance companies. The American people are paying thousands upon thousands of dollars for a product that is - for all intents and purposes - useless. United Healthcare, whose revenue is about ~50% dependent upon government subsidies, denies ~33% of claims (2023 data). Aetna denies ~29% of claims (2023 data). Blue Cross Blue Shield (aggregate across states) denies ~18% of claims (2023 data). Elevance, Cigna, and Centene denies ~16-17% of claims (2023 data). Humana, which when you consider their military benefits administration, is basically a government payer denies ~12% (2023 data). And of all denied insurance claims, in the entire United States, only ~1% of them are appealed. And of those appealed only ~46% of that 1% are overturned. Health insurance is a scam. It’s a farce. The subsidy isn’t for the patient. And the physicians don’t get paid - at all - ~20% of the time. And when they do get paid, there’s always some kind of adjustment lowering the reimbursement; and it takes - on average - 71 days to get paid! This is insanity! @SecKennedy @CMSGov @HHS_Jim @HHSGov @DOGE_HHS @DOGE @RapidResponse47 @realDonaldTrump @JDVance @mcuban @RayDalio @elonmusk @NicoleShanahan
