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.

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:

  • Y60273 Mammograafia, kaks rinnanääret 2 sihis 28.00 €

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.

Oh that would send me into gales of laughter.

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.

[-] granolabar@kbin.melroy.org 18 points 1 year ago

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.

First I’ve read that his family has money. That’s really encouraging.

[-] meyotch@slrpnk.net 12 points 1 year ago

Yeah apparently Baltimore country club types. People magazine has already done a thing on them.

[-] kautau@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

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

[-] granolabar@kbin.melroy.org 3 points 1 year ago

Allegedly mom is collaborating with the pigs...

I will with hold the commentry out of respect for Luigi...

Rats tho

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.
