Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Can you imagine? That would be awesome. I could pay directly to the person providing me a service instead of dealing with all the middle men

My mom owned her own practice, you still have to deal with insurance. Unless you're so wealthy you can pay cash, you have deal with insurance. Even if they pay her less then the cost of the procedure.
