PITTSBURGH (AP) — This isn’t the way Eddie Faulkner wanted to get the biggest job of his professional life.Faulkner and Matt Canada are friends. Their wives are friends. Their families are friends. It’s a bond that goes back well over a decade, a bond that hardly ended when the Pittsburgh Steelers fired Canada as their offensive coordinator on Tuesday and replaced him with Faulkner, the energetic 46-year-old running backs coach who is well aware of how the promotion could alter the trajectory of his career.Not that he wants to talk about it much. Yes, Faulkner is thankful and excited for the opportunity. No, he’s not thrilled it had to come at Canada’s expense, particularly when the blame for Pittsburgh’s offensive struggles goes far beyond someone who means so much to him.“We feel like we let (Canada) down,” Faulkner said Thursday.Maybe, but head coach Mike Tomlin had seen enough to feel a rare midseason move was required for a franchise that’s a...

Why it’s so tough to reduce unnecessary medical care

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:17:20 GMT

Markian Hawryluk | (TNS) KFF Health NewsThe U.S. spends huge amounts of money on health care that does little or nothing to help patients, and may even harm them. In Colorado, a new analysis shows that the number of tests and treatments conducted for which the risks and costs exceed the benefits has barely budged despite a decade-long attempt to tamp down on such care.The state — including the government, insurers, and patients themselves — spent $134 million last year on what is called low-value care, according to the report by the Center for Improving Value in Health Care, a Denver nonprofit that collects billing data from health plans across Colorado. The top low-value items in terms of spending in each of the past three years were prescriptions for opiates, prescriptions for multiple antipsychotics, and screenings for vitamin D deficiency, according to the analysis.Nationwide, those treatments raise costs, lead to health complications, and interfere with more appropriate care.
