Healthcare Costs Surge 9% on Cancer and Weight Loss Drugs, Verily Sued for HIPAA Violations, Paramount Skydance Eyes Warner Bros. Discovery Takeover
Introduction:
In this episode, we delve into three major stories shaping healthcare and media today. First, employer health spending is set to see its largest increase in 15 years, driven by costly cancer treatments and popular GLP-1 weight loss drugs, prompting employers to explore alternative cost-saving measures. Next, a whistleblower lawsuit accuses Alphabet’s health subsidiary Verily of illegally using patient data from thousands of clients while concealing multiple HIPAA violations, raising serious concerns about data privacy and corporate accountability. Finally, we examine the brewing media consolidation as Paramount Skydance prepares a bold bid to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery, a move shadowed by political controversy involving CEO David Ellison and his recent $8 billion Paramount acquisition.
