So let’s watch the denial rate at major insurance companies to see if it goes down.
Luigi’s trial will still be going on probably. I’m betting he’s going to drag it out as long as possible. His family is rich and influential so the trial is going to be a shit show, I hope.
And once we see a sudden (temporary) drop in denial rates, we can shit all over insurance executives again next quarter.
And the quarter after that when the denial rates sneak back up again.
Let’s just say I am really excited about shitting on that crew a lot.
She should email back that Brian Thompson personally approved her mammogram and that they should check with him.
Oh that would send me into gales of laughter.
"Why would we, he's not a doctor, he only denies, doctors approve"
She's also free to get an appointment in another country. Here's the pricing for uninsured patients in a hospital in my country. What she needs is:
It can get pretty expensive here too without insurance (which you can get by having a job, or having a <3yo kid, or being retired, or being disabled, or being unemployed but registering so you're officially looking for a job). Major surgeries will cost thousands of euros. But simple procedures that should be cheap, are cheap.
life expectancy and denial rates are now like KPI for me. these lines should be going up kinda like stock market, since this is all about "efficiency"
Yeah, it’s pure schadenfreude. But I am seriously coming around to the idea that shit-posting is a serious political tool. So I am planning my meme strategy around the release of these numbers.
This subject has the right emotional content to keep this issue in the public consciousness. Ever hear of ‘social peace’? Not for these shit heads.
this is definitely a moment of unity. while issue is bigger than healthcare. healthcare can be the rallying topic and improving just health care would a big W.
social peace is elites' job to maintain but they are not interested in that.
Let the memes flow. It's a quick and memorable way to convey information and good one spread like wildfire so you are absolutely correct on that. Keep up the good work!
Always has been. Now we can do it easier with the Internet and making up your own proof. Wasn't only a few people that produced most of the political memes for in 2016? I think I remember reading that.
First I’ve read that his family has money. That’s really encouraging.
Yeah apparently Baltimore country club types. People magazine has already done a thing on them.
And now's their chance to prove that what's most important to them is what's right rather than how they look to others at the country club
Allegedly mom is collaborating with the pigs...
I will with hold the commentry out of respect for Luigi...
Rats tho
Do you have a source or what to query, because when I plug in "Kathleen Mangione" all I get is they she reported her son missing.
Hey look the Lemmy Ceo's are looking to ban users informing other users about jury nullification because apparently that's hate speech in Germany or some stupid bullshit.
What is jury nullification? I would like to know more ;)
It's when a jury decides the person charged did commit the crime, but they for what ever reason thinks under the circumstances, he should be acquitted anyways. When you do hear about it, it's often in the context of some parent being acquitted for murdering a pedophile, that interfered with the killers kids.
