Heh. I just read an article about how insurance companies are trying to get their employees to go to Obama's grassroots "let's get national healthcare" things, and presumably lobby against it.

And I'm thinking "...dude. I just went through open enrollment on MY employer's healthcare plan. WHICH IS A HEALTH INSURANCE COMPANY. And if they sent me or any of the people who were in the web-cast? I think we'd all be advocating for nationalized health insurance"

Is this their first denial? If so, that is just standard procedure.

god, that pisses me off so much more than if it was just a denial based on wonky math. Way to take advantage of sick people who don't have the energy to argue with anonymous fucknuts.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Definitely no love, Trudy. Tossers.

If so, that is just standard procedure. Appeal and lay the math out for them...

SOP is a SOB. IJS.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

If there is no actual meat used in the making of it we could have a big hit among kinky vegetarians.

Hnh.It's been a week since the unpleasant meeting, and right after it, I sent out bullet points of things I needed addressed quickly.

The discussion of these points isn't even starting until half an hour from now. Tomorrow is another unpleasant meeting. And I've got to decide if I'm going to do what everyone else seems to do (be a nonspecific, non-blaming weaslyass making promises that can't be kept) or my usual eyeore straighforward self.

Yeah, like that is going to be a hard decision.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

doctors want at least three tests per day or more, as it helps keep sugar levels from fluctuating, causing long term organ damage, leading to Bad and EXPENSIVE things like blindness, kidney failure, gangrene.

Oh, prevention. Pfft. Prevention isn't the American way! Go big and let somebody else clean up the pieces, that's the way we do things in this country! Even when the somebody else is us!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Of those 2008 in photos pictures, #28 breaks my heart in ways some of the more violent ones don't. Kenya's a wild place, man. Maasai battles with bows and arrows? Dude. 2008? Dude.

#38 is wrong too. Sometimes I can make peace with adults killing adults, but kids? Oy.
