Speaker 1 (00:00):
Over forty million people a day are turning to chat
GPT for health information, according to a report open ai
shared with Axios. They did an analysis of how people
are using chat GPT when it comes to health and
found that they're using it like a quote ally someone
to help them decode medical bills, spot overcharges, appeal insurance denials,
(00:23):
and some are using it for help with a diagnosis
or to manage their care. And more than five percent
of all chat GPT messages globally every day are about healthcare.
So OpenAI found that users ask between one point six
and one point nine million health insurance questions per week
for guidance on comparing plans, handling claims, billing and other questions.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
And then in underserved rural.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Communities, open ai says users send an average of nearly
six hundred thousand healthcare related messages every single week.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
If you have tens of millions of people asking millions
of questions each week on healthcare related topics, then your
healthcare system is a frickin mess just more proof that
it is complex and difficult to navigate, and this is
a great resource. I mean, you have to be careful
(01:21):
as someone who uses chat GPT literally every day for
all kinds of things professional and personal. You got to
be careful. But I mean it's getting better and better
and better, and it can really break things down and
make it a lot easier to understand.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Yeah, I have a family member who's dealing with like
a serious illness, and anytime there's a new medication or
a new symptom or something that comes up, I put
it in chat GPT just to get information, to kind
of learn more about how to help and what all
these medications are. And it's been super, super helpful. I
got a whole thread going on about it, and.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
I've told you and again you've got to be careful
with this kind of stuff. But my dog's seventeen going
through some health issues, as one would expect at that age.
Chat gbt's better than the VETS at coming out with
little tips and strategies and things that I can do
to just make his life a bit more comfortable, to
help him, you know, with this ailment or that thing
(02:13):
that he's dealing with. I'm telling you, better than the VETS.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Yeah it is, Yeah, it really is. Crazy. Vice President JD.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Vance's home and Cincinnati was vandalized and nearly broken into
over the weekend. Now Vance and his family had left
to go back to DC just hours before. Secret Service
agents heard a loud noise at the home around midnight
and found a person who had broken a window with
a hammer and was trying to get into the house.
The man had also vandalized a Secret Service vehicle on
(02:42):
his way up to the homes driveway, and the person
was taken into custody by Cincinnati police. While he was
home for the holidays, the streets around his home had
been blocked off by Secret Service, but the barricades.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Had been removed, and JD.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Vance reacted to this on x He said, I appreciate
everyone's well wishes.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
We weren't home, and he said one request to the media.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
We try to protect our kids as much as possible
from the realities of this life of public service and
that light. I'm skeptical of the news value of plastering
images of our home with holes in the windows. So
he wasn't happy about those pictures everywhere, But it's yeah,
public life.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Yeah, I don't know I can criticize the media for that,
but it's just look, you're not going to be able
to completely secure I guess the Vice President's residence in
Ohio at all times. It's just when something like that happens,
you think to yourself, man, somebody was able to get Yes,
how were they able.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
To get to vandalize Secret Service vehicle and then get
to the house. So that's kind of two things that happened.
They caught the guy after he broke the window.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Yeah, I wonder if there's going to be some questions
about that. But then you know, you had somebody set
fire to the home that the governor of Pennsylvania was
living at the time, So a couple of scary incidents.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
I hope Busha okay, I'm sure she's just fine. I'm
sure Jd've protected her.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
The Secret Service has her well protective. But a help
more than happy to do my part for Usha.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Americans can now purchase a one point five milligram starter
dose of the weight loss drug will go v in
pill form with a prescription for one hundred and forty
nine dollars a month, which is a really sweet deal
considering the injections were over one thousand dollars a month,
well over one thousand dollars a month. So this is
for patients who purchased direct without going through insurance. They'll
(04:33):
also be able to access the starting dose of the
pill on Trump's direct to consumer website, trump our X
under a deal he's struck with Novo Nordisk that will
launch later this month. The four milligram dose will also
be available for one hundred and forty nine dollars a month,
and then it's going to be one hundred and ninety
(04:53):
nine dollars a month, so this is like a special
introductory offer. And then the largest dose, on which patients
lose the most weight, will be available by the end
of the week for three hundred dollars a month. So
the pill is going to be available at more than
seventy thousand pharmacies like CVS and Costo, and then through
telehealth providers as well.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
That's still that is so much less expensive than what
these drugs were, you know, just a few months ago.
And it's interesting how this is all evolving where you
have these drug companies saying, you know, just bypass the
insurance you get a better deal coming straight to us
to get the drug ands. And this I think is
going to be the really big deal with with GOV.
(05:36):
The pill form.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Oh absolutely, I mean the pill is for a lot
of people.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Direction Yeah, And they say and like, I don't know,
we'll see as people start to take the pill, but
they say, I think the pill form is supposed to
be better, like less side effects things like that.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
There's no question.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
I mean, people are losing a ton.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Of weight on these drugs. Absolutely.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Now the side effect they're pretty rough if you do
have to deal with them, especially the more severe side effects.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
But it's definitely helping a lot of people.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Yeah, And I really think it's interesting. I wonder if
you're going to start to see any of these drug
companies start to do more drugs where you could bypass
insurance and just go straight to them to get it
for a better deal, or if this is just you know,
the weight loss stuff because the insurance.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
It's just such a process for them to have to
even deal with it. So it probably is cheaper for
the insurance companies to just deal directly with consumers.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
And we're going to get to that what people are
using to help navigate some of those health insurance issues.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Newly designed coins celebrating America's two hundred and fiftieth anniversary
entered into circulation yesterday. The coins are engraved with seventeen
seventy six to twenty twenty six, which is different than
how all the other coins produced look.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
They usually just have the.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
One production ye're on them with these all say seventeen
seventy six to twenty twenty six. So on the dimes,
President Roosevelt has been replaced with Liberty as the winds
of revolution should wafted through her hair, and then an
eagle clutching arrows in its talons now appears.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
On the other side.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
There are five new versions of the quarter, honoring the
Mayflower Compact, the Revolutionary War, the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution,
and the Gettysburg Address. The Mayflower Compact quarter is the
first one that's going to be released, and then along
with the new coins that are entering regular circulation, there's
also a collectible and during Liberty half dollar and then
(07:29):
pennies with a special design.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
The only pennies. New pennies you're going to see.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Well, these pennies you have to pay for, so they're
they're like collectibles that are available through the US Mint,
but regular pennies are at so I guess there was
some controversy over the new coins because Congress authorized this
in twenty twenty one during the Biden administration, and they
had this whole committee that proposed doing coins for women's
suffrage and civil rights and putting Frederick Douglass and Ruby
(07:57):
Bridges on them.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Keep it simple.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Well those didn't happen. Yeah, when the Trump administration said no,
let's keep it simple. Here. Now there is supposed to
be a one dollar coin featuring President Trump.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
That's in the world.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Of course it's got so the head side is Trump's
profile and then on the other side it's Trump raising
his fist after his attempted assassination with the words fight
fight Fight along the top. It's not clear whether or
not this is going to be a gold one dollar coin,
but I'm guessing.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Sure you would want that's going to be gold. If
it's not.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
If it's silver, it has to have like gold hair.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Yeah, gold air, gold skifs. They at least have to
do something like that, right.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
I will say, I think the coins they are better
than the Florida America two fifty license plates.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
And yeah, they're just very plain terrible.
