@eff mention that there is a paywall. I already donate. Can't read the article.... Frustrating

For people outside the US, this is a classic example and by no means a rarity.

a reddit post, by binkybrain
"my wife has cancer, it took 5 months, to wipe out 20 years of life savings and that was with insurance. The experience has turned me into a hateful, bitter person. We did everything we were told. We went to college, got degrees, avoided credit card debt, spent wisely, saved a nice chunk of money into saving accounts and retirement accounts and minded our own business. The USA healthcare system took all of our savings and retirement and forced to refinance our house so that we lost 15 years of equity. This is a country I'm supposed to be proud of? I hate this system and anyone that defends it.

@ollej This turned it out really nice. Thanks for sharing. This app looks like a solution for me.

@noxon looks like a fun project

TIL Pro Publica has an online thing that will format a letter to your US health insurance company to demand the records behind a claim denial. (which the insurance is then legally required to provide in most cases)

There are any number of assertions of which I could quibble the nuances, but this article manages to be at least broadly factually accurate while spinning #occult philosophy as foundational to modern #progressive values, so I'll give it a pass. https://time.com/7157922/america-occult-origins-essay/?fbclid=IwY2xjawGSZcVleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHRw8RrBIgc0_E5mtK5hI03LzTPMJQZTDaG4428biZRos-4JhiaSYkoM2EQ_aem_I48eXGuW-YjP5Kq61mxZVA

George Carlin was so much more than a comedian. He was a philosopher. I miss his brilliance and logic. And how he could make me laugh at the sad truth.
