Six people killed in blast at restaurant in Somalia's capital ... (Independent Online)

Six people were killed on Friday by a blast at a seasida's cnt in Somalia's capital Mogadishu, an ambulance service official told Reuters.

The group has been fighting for years to topple the central government and establish its own rule based on its strict interpretation of Islam's sharia law. Last week hundreds of Somali lawmakers were finally sworn into office, paving the way for them to pick the country's new leader, a process that has been delayed for months amid a power struggle between the current president and the prime minister. The Pescatore Seafood Restaurant, which opened recently in Lido Beach in Mogadishu's south, was frequented by security and government officials.

Cleveland likely losing out on millions by undercharging for ... (cleveland.com)

CLEVELAND, Ohio – For years, billing rates for Cleveland EMS ambulance services have lagged far below what other cities charge and below what insurers are ...

“We’re leaving money on the table.” “Our intention is not to have grandma paying out of pocket for an ambulance ride,” Sommerfelt said. Cleveland is “missing out the most” when it comes to privately-insured patients, city Controller Jim Gentile said during 2022 budget hearings. Polensek blamed another factor – the costs of training – as a contributor. They pointed to Cleveland’s standing “soft-billing” practices, in which a patient’s balance is forgiven after insurers pay their portion. The city’s price tag for staffing, along with everything else it needs to deliver EMS services, is expected to be around $35 million in 2022. EMS rate increases would impact uninsured and privately insured patients the most, the Finance Department’s analysis said. But notably, Cleveland’s rates for at least two types of ambulance service also fall below the rates that Medicare is willing to pay. It’s unclear why Cleveland hasn’t raised ambulance rates since the early 2000s. Cleveland’s base rate for an ambulance run ranges from $350 to $500 and has been in place since around 2004. The result: Cleveland EMS isn’t coming close to recouping its rising costs for medication, supplies, salaries, fuel and ambulances. Slife hopes to introduce and pass legislation this year that would put the rates more in line with industry standards.
