Hospitals started doing this to ensure they had negotiation leverage against powerful insurance companies who were only willing to pay a tiny percentage of whatever the hospital price was. All sides are fucked up but I’m begging y’all to use Google
Did you know that in the United States 🇺🇸 hospitals can charge up to $700 for a bag of saline, which is basically salt water, which only costs them $2.00 per bag? Please explain to me how this is NOT a form of legalized fraud.
Idk what they did to the algorithm but my feed went from occasional right wing conspiracy crazy talk to full blown tin foil hat Reddit and Elon literally overnight
People don't shed many tears when the IRS gets smaller.
But I want you to understand the game here. The 5,000 people Trump is laying off are those who go after the billionaire/corporate tax cheats. The Trump/Musk plan is simple: make it easer for the super rich to not pay taxes.
In 1 MONTH, he:
—Cratered the economy

—Tanked the stock market
—Destroyed our global standing
—Killed our most critical alliances
—Gutted our most vital agencies
—Made flying unsafe
—Brought back Measles
—Cut us off from foreign intel
—Declared himself king
I’m increasingly convinced the root of America’s problems is a widespread inability to accept reality as it is, on the level of a neurological disorder.
.@SenMullin: "How many senators have shown up drunk to vote at night?...And how many senators do you know have gotten divorced for cheating on their wives...it's for show....it is so ridiculous you guys hold yourselves to a higher standard."
We can't hire Americans because they aren't educated enough, so let's obliterate the Dept of Education, keep college student loan debt astronomical so higher ed is out of reach for normies, make teachers use their own money to pay for classroom supplies, and get rid of Wikipedia.
Couple of fair points that can be debated here but the idea that doctors don’t do free surgeries because they want the money could only come from someone that has no idea how the industry works. Doctor labor is a small portion of hospital pricing and they do waive them sometimes
Athletes as a whole are reliant on their doctors to provide every pain killer, surgery, or treatment they will ever need. To listen to all of that and in the same breath show this vitriol over a medical topic that became political is just sad
Aaron Rodgers gives a PSA to all his HATERS:
"Say whatever the f**k you want about me, I don't care. But just before you do ... state your Vax status, so that anything you say afterwards gets put in the right light."

How is a blocked punt, received by Cincinnati now Cincinnati’s ball? This makes no sense, and if it is by the rules, they need to be changed. #NFL
The ball was already touched by the cowboy who blocked it. But the second cowboy touching it, become a live ball for anyone? #Rigged #Bengals
60% of employers reported to Yahoo that they have fired Gen Z workers within their first 2 months of work due to work ethic. Comprehension scores are falling through the floor and conspiracy theories are more alive now than ever because of it. It’s all honestly terrifying
Either this story isn’t being told right or something crazy happened here because 27 is literally the prototypical age for a diagnosis of PCOS and you learn that your first year of med school
oh wow so florence pugh got diagnosed with pcos and endometriosis by a gynecologist in america and then she want back to her gynecologist in london and that gynecologist told flo that she couldn’t possibly have pcos bc she was only 27 and that she was making it up basically
Caleb Williams had a chance to prove he could beat the other best 1st round QB AND win a historic rivalry game his rookie season. He did everything he needed to do to win both. And Matt Eberflus and the Bears Coaching staff took both of those experiences away from him
The bears have gotten away with development failure forever but they deserve a prison sentence if Rome Odunze doesn’t emerge as a top 15 receiver in the next couple years
I hope this Bears coaching staff is never able to go into another Chicago restaurant and enjoy a meal in peace with their family, that their embarrassment follows them for life
The fact that corporations have turned in record profits year after year while goods remain unaffordable and Trumpies want to rip down the candidate that actually talks about making them pay for it is actual insanity
JUST IN: Rapper Cardi B says prices are way too high even for her, says Kamala “better not lie to me in my face.”
Cardi B said the comments in support of Harris but appears to have forgotten that prices soared 20% under Biden and Harris.
“I believe in every word that comes outta her mouth. She's passionate, she's compassionate, she shows empathy, and most of all, she's not delusional.”
“The cost of food and the cost of living is too high. D*mn, even high for me.”
“She told me that… so she betta not lie to my face.”
