Just learned that the history department I got my BA from has shrunk considerably and been absorbed into a wider 'humanities' dept. There were 100 students in my first year class in 2001. Without historical analysis we are at the mercy of the plastic, hollow and blind cult of consumer capitalism.

A while back, BS/BC decided to stop covering all autism evaluation visits. Didn't tell the practitioners or members beforehand, just randomly started denying claims. Caused a bit of a scramble. The solution? Drs just re-coded everything as an anxiety visit where autism was "accidentally" discovered.

also just for general awareness notice how cops are interpreting “delay, deny, depose” as a threat when people use it against health insurance companies but don’t seem to care that that’s how health insurance companies increase their profits.

I've said before, I have it as a contract point that my narrators have to be actual live humans (same with my editors, copyeditors, cover artists, etc). If you think your work can be sufficiently narrated by an "AI" then you are implicitly saying some very negative things about your work.

Insurers must spend 80-85% of premiums on care by law. "But big insurers have figured out if they also become health care providers—by buying physician practices, clinics, and pharmacy benefit managers—they can meet that threshold by paying themselves and avoiding payment for their customers’ care."
As I explained to lawmakers — now more than 15 years ago — for-profit insurers like UnitedHealth and Cigna must assure investors and financial analysts every three months that they know how to control their health plan enrollees’ use of medical goods and services so that plenty of their premium dollars can be diverted to profits. Congress would ultimately include language in the ACA to require health plans to spend at least 80% to 85% of premiums insurers take in on enrollees’ care, known as the medical loss ratio. But big insurers have figured out if they also become health care providers — by buying physician practices, clinics, and pharmacy benefit managers — they can meet that threshold by paying themselves and avoiding payment for their customers’ care.

Totally incensed by all the scoldy op-eds about Luigi Mangione that reprimand the (largely powerless) public for "mainstreaming" political violence when there are powerful politicians, jurists, and billionaires who are condoning violence, forced relocation programs, and corporate cruelty to workers.

This is what I’ve been saying for years. The end game has always been the GOP trying to make it functionally illegal to run any public communication space that doesn’t privilege conservative voice, and in particular the conservative “right” to engage in harassment against vulnerable peoples
