LOS ANGELES, July 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — RadNet, Inc. (NASDAQ: RDNT), a national leader in providing high-quality, cost-effective outpatient diagnostic imaging services, today announced that Regal Medical Group, Lakeside Community Healthcare and ADOC Medical Group, affiliates of Heritage Provider Network (HPN), one of the largest physician-owned medical groups in Southern California, have agreed to reimburse RadNet for its EBCD program — which will now be included as a benefit in their members' health plans.
These medical groups predominantly located in Los Angeles, Ventura, Orange, San Bernardino, Riverside and San Diego counties, will now provide the AI-powered breast cancer detection services to all of their mammogram-eligible patients. Additionally, RadNet will launch an ongoing patient-outreach program to increase compliance within these medical groups with annual screening guidelines, by proactively contacting eligible patients to encourage and remind them to make their mammography appointments.
Dr. Howard Berger, President and Chief Executive Officer of RadNet, commented, 'RadNet and the Regal, Lakeside and ADOC medical groups share a commitment to early detection of breast cancer and population health screening. One in eight women will develop breast cancer in her lifetime, making it critical to detect the disease early, when treatment options are most optimal. The AI-powered EBCD program is able to detect breast cancer that otherwise would be found much later, thereby improving patient outcomes by reducing the amount of treatment and/or life impact through early detection.'
'We are excited that Regal Medical Group, Lakeside Community Healthcare and ADOC Medical Group are now offering this program to all of their eligible female patients. We recognize their commitment to provide innovative solutions to their patients, and expect that they will pave the way for other significant payors to include EBCD in their benefit plans,' concluded Dr. Berger.
Will Jukes, Senior Vice President of Regional Operations at Regal Medical Group, added, 'We continually seek ways to bring leading-edge solutions to patient care. EBCD will increase early cancer detection in addition to traditional radiologist screening, eliminating multiple radiology visits and positively impacting patient outcomes. The collaboration with RadNet will also focus on increasing annual compliance with screening mammography guidelines. Bringing this unique breast cancer screening program to our members is illustrative of our commitment to providing new and leading-edge medicine.'

Medicaid Turns 60 Today. America Needs It Now More Than Ever
Advocates for ideas and draws conclusions based on the interpretation of facts and data. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Today, on the 60th anniversary of Medicaid, America faces a health care crisis of its own making. Medicaid isn't just a lifeline for the poor. It's the backbone of our entire health care system and economic stability. Just in time for the 60th anniversary of Medicaid, however, Republicans made extraordinary cuts to the program in the "big beautiful bill," despite scientific and expert warnings. These cuts to Medicaid could translate to more than 42,000 preventable deaths each year. That's almost half a million lives lost over a decade simply because of bad policy choices. Slashing Medicaid isn't fiscal responsibility. It's a ticking time bomb for families, hospitals, and the economy. President Lyndon B. Johnson established Medicaid, alongside Medicare, on July 30, 1965. In the past 60 years, Medicaid has significantly expanded access to health care, including basic doctor's appointments and check ups, prescription drugs, and long-term care. The proposed cuts threaten to rip coverage away from millions. Studies show that when Medicaid shrinks, more people delay care, more hospitals go bankrupt, and preventable deaths rise. The Affordable Care Act, passed in 2010, built on the existing Medicaid system. That expansion has saved nearly 30,000 lives. In states that expanded Medicaid, premature deaths fell. In states that didn't, they rose. Instead of building on that success, Republicans have taken a chainsaw to the program, and millions will lose their coverage. Today, one in five Americans rely on Medicaid. Republicans paint a false picture of young men sitting on their couches, too lazy to get jobs, playing video games all day as the ones eating up Medicaid tax dollars. In reality, more than half of Medicaid spending goes toward the elderly and people with disabilities. The majority of adults on Medicaid are employed either full- or part-time. Nearly half of all U.S. births are covered by Medicaid. About two-thirds of nursing home residents depend on it. Medicaid serves people in every corner of this country, from inner cities to small rural towns, Democrats to Republicans. In fact, about 20 million Medicaid beneficiaries lean Republican. According to the Congressional Budget Office, nearly 17 million more Americans will become uninsured by 2034 due to the bill's changes. Republicans insist they didn't change Medicaid eligibility rules. While that's true, it ignores the fact that the bureaucratic barriers of extra forms, tighter deadlines, and poor communication will ultimately cause mass disenrollment. Here's what that means in practice: People won't know they've lost coverage until they show up in the ER. Parents will skip pediatric checkups. Cancer patients will delay follow-up care. Preventable conditions will become fatal. WASHINGTON, DC - JUNE 23: Care workers with the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) participate in a living cemetery protest at the US Capitol June 23, 2025 in Washington, DC. WASHINGTON, DC - JUNE 23: Care workers with the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) participate in a living cemetery protest at the US Capitol June 23, 2025 in Washington, economic health relies heavily on a community's physical health. Republicans are supposedly the party of small businesses, but the proposed cuts will end up hurting small businesses in the long run. Once the cuts go through, more small businesses will have to pay and offer health care plans to their employees. Ironically, Medicaid cuts will end up hurting Republicans' own constituents the most. In rural areas, where politics often skew to the right, hospitals will have to enforce layoffs and potentially shut down due to patients being unable to pay for their care. This isn't about partisan politics, though. Ultimately, people will die and American lives will be lost. Republican or Democrat, we will all feel the crippling effects of slashing Medicaid. Conservatives value strong families and thriving small towns—Medicaid cuts will devastate both. Liberals champion social safety nets—this would shred one of the biggest. Both sides claim to protect working Americans. Medicaid covers millions of Americans who are employed but earn too little to afford private insurance. When one in five Americans loses their safety net from Medicaid, we all feel the consequences. So what can people do if they're at risk of losing Medicaid? First, make sure your contact information is current with your local Medicaid office. If you've moved recently, the system likely doesn't know. The government won't track you down to keep you covered. Second, if you lose coverage, act quickly: you'll have a limited window to enroll through the ACA marketplace, your employer, or another public option. Visit or contact a Medicaid navigator for help. Many hospitals and local officials also have staff who can walk you through next steps. Cutting Medicaid will not make America healthier. It will do the opposite: create health care deserts, saddle hospitals with unpaid bills, and force taxpayers to absorb higher costs elsewhere. Sixty years ago today, Medicaid was born. Today, we see the entire system at risk. If we truly want to make America a healthier, more resilient nation, we must protect Medicaid—not as charity, but as infrastructure.

Japanese technology giant Panasonic announces a new chief as its profits barely hold up
TOKYO (AP) — Japanese electronics and technology company Panasonic has chosen a new chief executive after eking out a 1.2% rise in its first quarter profit. Kenneth William Sain, a former Boeing executive, will replace Yasuyuki Higuchi as Panasonic's president and chief executive in April 2026, the company said Wednesday. Sain joined Panasonic in 2019 as CEO of Panasonic Avionics. 'Ken is an exceptional leader with extensive global experience and a deep understanding of business and technology,' Higuchi said in a statement. Panasonic Holdings Corp.'s April-June profit totaled 71.46 billion yen ($483 million), up from 70.6 billion yen. Its quarterly sales declined 10.6% from last year to 1.9 trillion yen ($12.8 billion). The Osaka-based maker of home appliances, solar panels and batteries for Tesla vehicles kept its full year profit forecast unchanged at 310 billion yen ($2.1 billion), down 15% from the previous year. Panasonic said the impact from U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs was not yet fully factored in. The company said it will try to minimize the effect on its operating profit with cost cuts and other measures. Consumer electronics sales were strong in Japan, Panasonic said, while they were also healthy in China, supported by subsidies. On the positive side, it said demand for AI servers and air-conditioners was expected to grow. But concerns remain about slowing demand for electric vehicles because of U.S. tariffs and the ending of tax credits. Panasonic also said it's planning to get rolling later this year its new lithium-ion battery factory in Kansas, whose start has been delayed. Panasonic said in May that it was slashing its global workforce by 10,000 people, half in Japan and half overseas, to become 'lean.' The job cuts amount to about 4% of its workforce.

Should You Buy Palantir Stock Before Aug. 4?
Key Points Palantir is guiding for substantial growth across revenue and operating profits in the second quarter, driven by AI tailwinds. Despite crushing its earnings results for the first quarter back in May, the stock experienced a harsh sell-off following the report. Over the last few months, Palantir stock has rebounded sharply and now trades at historically high -- and potentially unsustainable -- valuation levels. 10 stocks we like better than Palantir Technologies › Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ: PLTR) has been one of the biggest beneficiaries of artificial intelligence (AI) tailwinds. The company's software suites, Gotham and Foundry, serve as the AI backbone for hundreds of global enterprises and government agencies. As of the closing bell on July 25, shares of Palantir have gained 110% so far this year, making it the top-performing stock in the S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100. On Aug. 4, the data mining specialist is scheduled to report financial and operating results for the second calendar quarter of 2025. Let's dig into what investors should be on the lookout for as Palantir's Q2 earnings loom around the corner. Is now a good time to invest in Palantir stock? Read on to find out. What should investors expect from Palantir's Q2 report? During the company's first-quarter report back in May, Palantir's management provided investors with financial guidance for Q2 as well as the full year. Management expects the company to generate $936 million in revenue and $403 million in adjusted income from operations at the midpoint of its Q2 guidance. Should the company achieve these targets, it would represent year-over-year growth of 38% and 59%, respectively. What happened to Palantir stock following the Q1 report? The chart below illustrates Palantir's stock price action over the last three years. I've annotated the chart to include earnings reports, which are depicted by the purple circles labeled with an "E". Do you notice anything peculiar from the stock's trajectory above? Since AI burst on the scene in early 2023, Palantir's share price has steadily climbed with each passing quarter report. The major exception, however, occurred earlier this year. Following Palantir's monster Q1 report back in May, shares lost 12%. However, the brief sell-off wasn't driven by an earnings miss or anything management discussing during the investor call. Rather, the meteoric rise in Palantir stock comes with heightened scrutiny around the company's underlying operating metrics. In other words, despite Palantir reporting best-in-class software metrics and explosive growth, expectations from investors are now incredibly high. Another way of looking at this is that Palantir stock has entered territory where "good" simply may not be good enough. Is Palantir stock a buy right now? Despite its sell-off a few months ago, Palantir stock has since rebounded in epic fashion and now trades near an all-time high. The chart above plots the price-to-sales valuation of Palantir along with a group of peer companies. Palantir's prolonged valuation expansion has brought its valuation multiple far above any of its peers in the enterprise software arena. To add some context around these figures, Palantir's price-to-sales (P/S) ratio of 127 is meaningfully higher than where valuation multiples peaked for many companies during prior stock market bubbles. While I remain optimistic about Palantir's long-run prospects, the company's valuation is overextended. And with expectations steadily rising, buying the stock with so much momentum behind it and at such a frothy premium does not seem prudent. I wouldn't be surprised to see Palantir stock witness another pullback following the Q2 report, even if the company beats its guidance. Moreover, in the event that Palantir actually misses its targets, the stock could experience enormous downward pressure. To me, the best course of action is to wait until Palantir publishes its second-quarter results before buying the stock. This way, investors can get a clearer picture around revenue growth, operating margins, profitability, as well as any valuable information regarding broader industry trends that Palantir's management may choose to share during the earnings call.
