Well, I definitely can't agree with that...in writing.

It goes to show how morally bankrupt these people are that it takes the fear of death being out into them to get them to do something even remotely good/ethical.

It also unfortunately proves, once more, that violence can absolutely be the solution.

Haiii helloo I'm a bit OOTL and I don't live in the States.

I hear this CFO got killed and that the health insurance company was exceptionally awful. But I don't understand the time limit on anesthesia part. What time limits? What's that about? Like "you only get anesthesia for the first day you're hospitalized" time limits?

[–] FlexibleToast 13 points 6 days ago (2 children)

They were considering putting a time limit on the anesthesia they would pay for during procedures. Have a complication and the surgery runs long? Guess you're going to be in intense pain.

More like you will be on the hook for the anesthesia bill.

What is an extra several thousand dollars when you are already paying through the nose for insurance.

I bet they would make even more money if they just took your money and refused to ever pay out.

You know how in many industries there is a standard amount of time something takes and that determines the standard cost? Like it takes .5 work hours to change your oil so they charge .5 of labor + cost? Well, as I understand it, the plan was to limit the amount of anesthesia they'd cover based on the standard/expected time a medical procedure would take.

"In other words, if a procedure takes longer than expected, patients may wake up to an unexpected bill." https://www.prevention.com/health/a63104965/blue-cross-blue-shield-anthem-insurance-anesthesia-time-limit/

I wouldn't call it violence, I would call it a justified use of force.

[–] Sam_Bass 5 points 5 days ago

To most governments and some private citizens, violence is a tool

[–] Etterra 7 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I mean history is ambiguous about it, but it usually tends to be more bad than good. Usually.
