I fully agree and very good words of wisdom.

There is definitely something cooking and we all will get rewarded for our power of endurance.

I am long since 2011, constantly added to longs and bought some November $ 15 strike calls as well.

Good luck and happy weekend

Fantastic summary and the insurance companies shall cros the rubicon shortly IMO as they have in Germany. BYes even 15 is achievable and close at hand, However, charts say $13.20 resistance may slow sp rise down and $15 - $20 and beyond because Insurans cos shall wake up shortly because cytosorb blood filter definitely removes CYTOKINES AT WARP SPEED regardless of the reason WHAT CREATED THE STORM . CYTOSORB SHALL BECOME SOC *IMO*

Hospials are about money too. No money, no honey.

Rap', you wrote:
"Insurance Companies. What will this new therapy do for the insurance industry's bottom line. The filter?...shortens ICU time by days per patient, will save gobs of money when deployed properly. When the insurance industry demands we use or filter over current methods of controlling Sepsis and all the other applications that are being talked about, you will see this go through the roof.

As a former "caregiver", and having spent eons of time in hospitals, I appreciate your point, and have been ardently waiting on some cost-savings #s out of Germany's ICUs. No word to date. Why not? Don't they have accountants in the EU? Such news might catch attention at, say, Mayo or the FDA. Ya think?

Others, besides myself, posted about this potential cost-picture long, long ago.

And, this has clear import re the looming barbarism of rationed care, aka financially predicated murder.

Secondarily, besides insur. companies, one can hypothesize the potential individual savings in copays, deductibles and premiums premiums; not to mention the re-allocation of hospital resources/staff to other patients in ICU, etc. In a competitive market (hopefully) such cost savings should be passed on to the consumer, to the hospital(s) in one form or another. Econ' 101.

Speaking of things macro', I like FDA's Gottlieb....
The impending biggie, Medicare (10K retiring per diem, nat. debt $20T) - Wow. I believe I read last year that ICU costs are Medicare's biggest. Hello, FDA, is anybody home?

"Medicare, the US universal health insurance program for senior citizens aged 65 and older, will run out of money to cover hospital expenses in 2026"

My sense is that the D.C. lobbyists for the nursing home/funeral industries are in for something or other. But that's idle speculation, for now. Ripples from the pebble.

I think this will surpass EXAS (a one pony show).

I agree w/ you about Fresenius. Somethin' smells and it ain't on my shoe.

I have a friend in the ICU right now. Left side of brain destroyed, no hope, breathing thru a trake, fed thru his stomach...batter up, stem cells. For another day.

At the end of your day, if you're tired of this "smack da bitch, shoot the cop culture", worried about being carjacked, etc.,

Make a cup of mud and enjoy this - it's OUR roots. (1st violin is awesome)

Not bad.

Happy investing.
