When we have criminals and incompetent antigovernment personnel striving to overthrow the government from the inside out, apparently private businesses believe they can get away with this since greed and tRump are viewed as godly and god

That is what I remember. May have been one or the other, but I think the claim was "out of network" providers.

I've heard out of network refusal to cover life flight in other cases too (generally like very rural snake bite cases).

I'm just imagining the coroner getting a toxic screen back on some dude he was convinced was coked out of his mind, sighing, and giving a $20 to the EMT who brought him in the next time he sees him.
That's messed up. The whole system between hospitals and insurance is messed up but that's really messed up. The cheapest possible care at the highest possible premium.
I got that meme from my friend who works at the poison control center. His comment was, "there's a reason I have a job."
When I retire from the VA I'm going to work for a PBM in the Prior Approval department reviewing PA requests. I'll have to sell my soul, but it's straight cash homie, cream get the dolla bill, yo.

A Texas school board has voted to delete more than a dozen chapters from five state-approved textbooks because they discussed “vaccines and polio,” and even deleted chapters from a textbook for future teachers because it mentioned "diversity as a positive force" in learning. Nearly 80% of the students in the district are of Hispanic, Black and Asian descent.

Second child dies of measles as western Texas outbreak worsens
Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr is reportedly headed to the state, which has recorded 480 cases.
www.bbc.com
A second child has died from measles as an outbreak of the highly contagious virus continues to grow in western Texas.
The school-aged child was not vaccinated, had no underlying health conditions and was in hospital suffering complications from measles, Aaron Davis, the vice-president of UMC Health System, told the BBC.
US Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr, who has faced a backlash over his handling of the outbreak, visited Texas on Sunday in the wake of the death, which is the third overall in recent weeks.
The southern US state has reported more than 480 cases of measles so far this year as of Friday, a jump from 420 earlier in the week. The outbreak has extended to neighbouring states.
Across the whole of the US, more than 600 cases of measles have been recorded so far this year, more than double the 285 cases that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recorded last year.
In 2019, there were a total of 1,274 measles cases recorded across the US, but prior to that there had not been a larger outbreak than this year's since the early 1990s, according to the CDC.
Many of this year's cases - nearly all in unvaccinated people - are related to the outbreak that began in western Texas.
"This unfortunate event underscores the importance of vaccination," Mr Davis said in a statement. "Measles is a highly contagious disease that can lead to serious complications, particularly for those who are unvaccinated."
The child - an eight-year-old girl - died early on Thursday.
...
President Donald Trump on Sunday told reporters aboard Air Force One that he believes the outbreak is largely contained.
"It's so far a fairly small number of people, relative to what we're talking about," he said. "It's something that people have known about for many years. This is not something new."
"We'll see what happens. If it progresses, we'll have to take action. Very strong action," he said in response to a question from the BBC.
...
The US declared measles eliminated from the country in 2000. But outbreaks have grown since then with a rise in anti-vaccine sentiment.
Two shots of the immunisation - proven safe - are 97% effective at preventing the virus and reduce severe infections. To achieve herd immunity - when enough of a group is immune to a disease, limiting its spread and protecting the unvaccinated - around 95% of the population must have the shots, experts say.

RFK Jr. says he plans to tell CDC to stop recommending fluoride in drinking water
U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. says said he plans to tell the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention soon to stop recommending fluoridation in communities nationwide.
apnews.com
Over to the Dr's on the board for feedback on this one.
I know several major areas have already removed fluoride from public water and very high levels of fluoride intake has correlated to mental issues, but I don't know what the amounts are there. I do know that fluoride intake has lead to much lower rates of dental issues. Living on well water, our dentist prescribed fluoride for my son, so there is always that option for families too.
So this is just big Flourine wanting to cash in.
