Copying my comment from another thread:

Okay, no. Anthem were looking to implement this in Connecticut, New York and Missouri, with Colorado and other states being brought into this policy later on.

Anthem has only backed off this policy in Connecticut. The other states are still currently on the table.

Guess it’s time to sacrifice another CEO to the cause

And all it took was the death of a single murderous CEO.

Hopefully this has applications economy-wide

But that one wasn't murderous! All they wanted is you to wake up in the middle of your surgery and charge you money to buy more minutes of anastasis. Perfectly a normal and moral way to make more money.

No, they wanted you to go into the surgery assuming that your anesthesia was paid for only for you to get home and 6 weeks later receive a bill for $8,000 in the mail.

$8000!!! THAT'S INSANE

Where can you get anesthesia for only $8000?

At least the message is clear, we know what works. Time to grab your high-quality backpacks !

For now. Don't get it twisted. Bmw temporarily paused the roll out of subscription services for shit you paid for. This is just a temporary pause to weather the storm of anger. It'll happen under Trump.
