Captain Obvious doesn't know what he's talking about. Do you deal with Medicare billing on a daily basis?

Either that, or Captain Obvious has a British fascination.

Healthcare billing is seriously F####d

For example, we had the bureaucrats put in place the NPI or National Provider Identification number. Great. Now for every tax id number I have, I will have one provider number instead of 40, 50, 500, etc.

Except, the bureaucrats don't know that the Medicare/Medicaid/etc systems are still run with 50 year old COBOL code and they can't do that.

So, we are forced to "sub-part". Now for every legacy provider number we had, we now have a brand new NPI number.

The healthcare software billing systems in GOVT are seriously fubar'd.

NC has new medicaid system that "I S##T you knot" is written partially in cobol.

CSC NCTRACKS if you want to google.

Seriously - it may be a software problem that enables them to fix (temporarily) a political problem.

How is this informative?

Here's the deal right now. Some places raised prices (cheaperthandirt.com) and others didn't (much).
The problem is it is very hard to find anything in stock. Yes, you can still get $150 lowers, but the entire
market is in a panic buying mode.

5.56 ammo? Uh, unless you're lucky, you're not finding that either. As soon as anyone gets some in, it's
snatched up. Even steel-case wolf that was like 20-25 cents a round last month is now nearly 75 cents and rising.

Also, unless you're just misunderstanding "Magazine" vs "Stripper Clip", please tell me where you buy ammo already in mags? No, you bought a ammo can full of lake city 855 on 10 round stripper clips, 3 clips to a cardboard box.

Yes, if you watch carefully and buy quickly, you can still get mags. Last month you could get Gen2 PMAGs for $10 each. Now even if you can find them, they are a minimum of $15. Most are selling privately for $30 each and up.
