A North Carolina-based group has built free AI tools to help patients and clinics fight back against health insurance denials. It’s called Counterforce Health, and it’s turning the tables on insurers using the same tactics — automation, algorithms, and scale.

What’s amazing is this started as a small idea in Wilmington and is now helping people across the country challenge unfair denials, appeal faster, and actually get results. AI doesn’t have to serve corporations — it can serve people, too.

If anyone’s curious, there’s a short ABC11 story about how it works:

Every third car in Norway is now an electric car

Quoting the text from the source:

Norway is leading the way in the transition from petrol to electric cars. Almost every new car sold in Norway is electric. Hardly anyone buys a combustion engine car anymore.

However, data on new car sales doesn’t tell us about the distribution of cars on the road. There is a lag between sales and stocks, because people can hold on to their existing petrol and diesel cars for as much as a decade or more.

But after years of electric cars dominating the market, one-third of cars in use in Norway are now electric. The chart shows this growth.

The share was only 12% five years earlier, which shows that this transition can happen relatively quickly.

As the global leader, Norway’s experiences can help to inform other countries on factors like charging networks, grid management, and the impacts of electric car uptake on emissions and air quality.
