Who would you be mad at? Imagine: You need a life saving procedure.

Fortunately, it is covered by your employer's health coverage, but you have to pay the deductible.

Your deductible is $1,000.

Thread:
1/ You learn later that your neighbor, who is uninsured, also needs the same life saving procedure.
2/ You feel so bad for her. You feel so grateful that you have coverage through your employer. Sure, it cost you a $1,000 out of pocket and you pay about $400 per paycheck in premiums, but at least this life saving procedure was covered.

However......
3/ You learned that your neighbor asked what the cash price was for that procedure and they quoted her $500.

Thankfully, she was able to afford the life saving procedure too!

You are so happy for her....but...you are upset. Who are you upset at?
4/ Your Doctor for not telling you? Your employer for not getting you and other co-workers a fair price? The insurance company that negotiated that price with your Doctor?
5/ Sadly, this EXACT scenario plays out all day everyday. And it hurts the lower wage earners most. So, they don't get the care they need. This is #HealthEquity or lack thereof.
This makes me sad, angry and energized at the same time because I genuinely believe solutions to this problem exist today.

What is #ChatGPT?

It is all the buzz.. Showing my ignorance here, but I had no idea what "GPT" stood for, I just know I LOVE using it......So I asked ChatGPT.....of course.

Thread:
1/ In it's simplest form the GPT in #ChatGPT stands for "Generative Pre-trained Transformer". It generates human like text. #NLP #MachineLearning
2/ #GPT uses a transformer architecture, which is a type of neural network architecture designed for processing sequential data, such as text.

#HR Leaders may not want to agree. 5 things HR Leaders wish were different.

After 20 years working with HR leaders, most will agree with them off the record.

Thread:
1) Lack of support from upper management: HR leaders often report feeling unsupported in their efforts to implement necessary changes within the organization.

#CEO #CFO #COO
2) Limited resources: HR professionals may feel that they don't have the necessary resources (such as budget, staff, or time) to effectively perform their duties.

Most are dealing with double the duties and half the staff they had a decade ago...
