So much of my FB feed now is “suggested for you” slop like this. It’s all laughably fake and theres no way to tell FB i never want to see it. If I were trying to kill a website this is the kind of thing I’d stuff it with.

Of course this dogshit country has a spot in the marketplace for a business whose sole purpose is to tell insurers to underpay their subscribers' medical expenses www.nytimes.com/2024/04/07/u...

Here’s how it works: The most common way Americans get health coverage is through employers that “self-fund,” meaning they pay for their workers’ medical care with their own money. The employers contract with insurance companies to administer the plans and process claims. Most medical visits are with providers in a plan’s network, with rates set in advance.

But when employees see a provider outside the network, as Ms. Lawson did, many insurance companies consult with MultiPlan, which typically recommends that the employer pay less than the provider billed. The difference between the bill and the sum actually paid amounts to a savings for the employer. But, The Times found, it means big money for MultiPlan and the insurer, since both companies often charge the employer a percentage of the savings as a processing fee.

Kendall Roy but somehow even sadder

There was $208,980 worth of luxury black-car travel over a two-year period. There was a $600 haul of bottled water during one hotel stay in San Antonio. There was even a $2,500 set of DJ equipment; O’Keefe dreamed of playing a set at Coachella, according to two former employees, and was irritated when his staff couldn’t get him booked at the legendary California music festival.
