Subscribe today to receive industry-changing digital health news and analysis to your inbox. The US healthcare payments market is enormous: Healthcare expenditure hit $3.65 trillion in 2018, per projections from CMS, and this spending is only expected to accelerate. But the industry is at a tipping point. Better-informed and more critical customers, along with a push to combat the complex and opaque medical billing process, are creating demand for innovation in the healthcare payments space. Despite a titanic market size and room for innovation, digital transformation is occurring incrementally at best.

Business Insider - Smelly feet are no joke, but there are steps you can take to control foot odor. Getting odor under control involves taking care of your feet, socks, and shoes. Selecting the best over-the-counter products are a step in the right direction. Keep a supply of foot spray, antibacterial soap, good socks, shoe liners, and shoe deodorizers on hand all year long. Foot odor is very common in both men and women and is caused by excess sweat. This sweat leads to bacteria growth on the skin, socks, and shoes. The bacteria thrives in a damp, dark environment and ultimately produces the odor known medically as bromodosis. Feet have more sweat glands than any other part of the body and release sweat to keep the body cool throughout the day. While every individual is different, people who are on their feet all day, going through growth phases that increase hormones, or experiencing stress, as well as those who have certain medical conditions, tend to have sweatier feet. While everyone has bacteria

No cash, no lawsuit, court tells Michigan prisoner

Houston Chronicle - CARSON CITY, Mich. (AP) ? Frivolous lawsuits have caught up with a Michigan prisoner. Michael Gresham wants to sue Corrections Department employees, claiming they improperly forced to take antipsychotic medication. But a federal appeals court says he needs to pay a $400 filing fee. Prisoners and other poor people can ask that the fee be waived, but the court says Gresham doesn't qualify because he has "at least eight baseless lawsuits to his name." There's an exception for serious health issues. But the court again says the exception doesn't fit. Judge Jeffrey Sutton says Gresham's chest pains, vomiting, seizures and dizziness are "not the kinds of injuries that can lead to impending death or other severe bodily harms" while he's also under medical supervision. Gresham has been locked up for nearly 20 years.
