The “90% of medical claims” is such a weaselly metric. Yeah, if you have a small-cost claim like your annual physical or basic x-rays they pay, but if you need anything that costs money, that would push you over your deductible, they deny. Saying 90% just isn’t meaningful if most claims are small-dollar.

Well, no. The OG framers only thought the owner class should have any power, thats why only white wealthy male landowners could vote.

The constitution only protects billionaires i guess.

I am no expert but that looks kind of intentional. I am curious what the investigation finds out.

Yes, “streaming fatigue” is the problem. It’s not that services are charging more for worse content. The enshittification isn’t the issue people are just randomly tired of streaming for unexplainable reasons. Very insightful.

Another article where I started out angry at the insurer and then got angrier and angrier the more I read. These people are evil.

He is already talking about it. He is threatening to imprison her for “false accusations”.

I think the indie scene is still where the best games are at. Currently enjoying Caves of Qud but it’s not for everyone.

Unfortunate. Competition is generally good for the consumer and I’d hate to see one of more more customer-friendly storefronts go away.

It’s the magistrate judge doing the pretrial hearings, not the trial judge. Not great, but not quite as outrageous.

Yes, they want to roll back the entire New Deal and have corporate serfdom again. They have been saying it for years and now they have their chance.

AT&T hasn’t updated toll free routing control in almost 11 years. Their bvoip portal is similarly antiquated. What good stuff have they been developing?

Even if the vaccine caused autism (which it does not), that would still be better than polio.

The public reaction is what scares them. They are entirely disconnected from the consequences their actions impose on the public and can’t imagine why their “customers” would be cheering the death of their peer. They don’t think Brian Thompson did anything wrong, maximizing shareholder value is a noble goal after all, so from their perspective the public just seems bloodthirsty.

If those were legitimate murders the body politic has ways of shutting that down.

You don’t even need to ditch the whole gun, just the barrel. People are looking for a gun but might overlook the one component ballistics needs to link the weapon to the shooter.

Before the ACA, the Democrats were calling for single payer, not quite M4A but much better than what we got. The ACA was modeled on the Republicans healthcare reform package. Since then the Democrats have been defending the signature plan of Obama even though it is literally the plan their opposition created. Of course, Republicans don’t have a plan and many people voting today don’t remember what it was like in the 00’s where insurers would just dump people when they got sick or jack their rates up so high it wouldn’t be affordable.

The weird thing is that when I first joined the workforce in the 90s insurance was actually better than it is today and less expensive.

The professional killer was the one who died.

It was probably more than that when I was there and I’m just misremembering the org chart, it was some time ago.

Without question. This guy is not important and nobody will protect him. Most people don’t realize that banks hand out that particular title like candy. When I worked at JPMC, I was an associate (nobody important) and my manager was a vice president. There were 7 levels of management between me and the CIO.
