I miss Rush as well.
I very much enjoy Chris Plante, WMAL: https://www.wmal.com
He’s on M-F 9 AM to Noon EST.
If you have not listened to the great short series of podcasts honoring Rush by James ‘Bo Snerdly’ Golden you should give them a try, some great unknown information on them:
Have a great day!
Sexually transmitted disease diagnoses overall rose roughly 5% among commercially insured patients from 2020 to 2023, according to an analysis of FAIR Health’s repository of 47 billion commercial health care claim records.
Patients aged 65 and older saw the largest increase (24%) in STD diagnoses during that period, per the claims, which include people covered by Medicare Advantage plans.
The next largest increase (about 16%) occurred among patients aged 55 to 64.
The findings are consistent with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data that has indicated a rise in STDs among adults 55 and older between 2012 and 2022.
By the numbers: The STD that saw the biggest jump in diagnoses among all adults was syphilis (29%) followed by gonorrhea (17%) and HIV/AIDS (14%).
Among seniors, the STD that had the largest increase was human papillomavirus (32.2%).
There was a 59% uptick in the number of male patients with gonorrhea, while the number of female patients with the same diagnosis fell by about 19%.
The number of female patients with syphilis jumped almost 47% compared with a roughly 23% increase in male patients.
