Insurance companies can often be aggressive with their denials because “they don’t expect people to come back,” one health care advocate said.
The lesson is simple, another expert told us: “Appeal, appeal, appeal, appeal. That’s all you have.”

I co-wrote Trump’s first anti-terrorism plan in 2017-18. He’s not trying to stop “left-wing” terrorism. He is staging it.
His troop deployments are a false flag — meant to provoke a response in order to justify harsh crackdowns.
This is now very obvious.
Stephen Miller didn't glitch. He said "plenary authority" and whoever was in his ear told him to STFU because he said too much and he froze like a deer in headlights.
Trump fires a U.S. Atty for not indicting a political adversary with insufficient evidence.
Yet he closes an investigation of a political ally even though he was recorded — RECORDED! — taking a $50k bribe.
@Jim_Jordan: it’s time to bring back that @Weaponization subcommittee.
For chemist Kris Hansen, 3M was a family affair; her father was a creator of the company’s N95 face masks.
Yet, after she found 3M’s forever chemicals in human blood, the company repeatedly doubted her work and stopped her research on the chemicals.

So much disinformation on this site tonight in the wake of the horrific Kirk murder, with conservatives cynically suggesting that all of the political violence in this country comes from the left.
In fact it’s the opposite. Here are the facts for those with short memories:
The man who targeted and killed Democratic state Rep Melissa Hortman was a Trump supporter.
The man who targeted the home of Dem Governor Josh Shapiro was a Trump supporter.
The men who wanted to hang Mike Pence on Jan 6th were Trump supporters.
The man who targeted and killed the son of Obama-appointed District Judge Esther Salas was a Trump supporter.
The man who tried to kidnap Nancy Pelosi and assaulted her husband was a Trump supporter.
The men who were convicted trying to kidnap Dem Governor Gretchen Whitmer were Trump supporters.
The man who sent pipe bombs to the homes of Obama and Biden was a Trump supporter.
There is no equivalent or even similar list of Obama or Biden supporters who have carried out similar murders, attempted murders, or violent attacks.
Two months ago a Democratic lawmaker, her husband and their dog was murdered in their home and there was no moment of prayer in Congress, no lowering of flags, a Republican senator openly mocked their death and other Republicans just ignored it.....
🚨1. It’s time to speak out. I don’t usually in such cases apart from the odd joke here and there. But the Baldoni/Lively case has taken a very dark turn. It is def not Amber v Johnny and never was. It now involves us all and is way more serious than gossip columnists would have you believe.
Recap of timeline:
After release of the film #ItEndsWithUs last August, Blake Lively promoted this movie about domestic violence by (amazingly) pushing her various alcohol brands. This tone deaf marketing - by Ryan Reynolds’ marketing company Maximum Effort - received a massive backlash as a significant connection between alcohol consumption and domestic violence is a known fact.
Yet instead of apologising and moving on, Blake claims the online criticism of her was all an “untraceable” smear campaign.
To effectively “uncancel” herself - and deflect from the catastrophic marketing campaign of the movie by husband Ryan - she then launched a smear campaign of her own accusing her co-star and director of movie Justin Baldoni of sexual harassment with a much publicised article in the New York Times, Dec 21st.
After Baldoni’s lawyer Bryan Freedman dropped receipts that no sexual harassment had taken place AND the man Blake accused of orchestrating the smear campaign against her - crisis PR manager Jed Wallace - being DISMISSED from the case, she is now going for any one who has criticised her online: 16 content creators on @YouTube and 20 on @X. Literally tracing the supposedly “untraceable” content to these people, some of whom have as little as 38 followers.
This has massive implications on free speech attempting to stifle and chill voices who are simply interested in the case and commenting on it. These people are now being dragged into federal court. Fortunately they are all firing back and the previously silent mainstream media are now saying 'When you demand IP addresses and PayPal receipts from hobby vloggers, you risk being seen as mugging the First Amendment in broad daylight.' (DM online)
The big issue here is privacy trust with social media platforms giving up personal information to people like Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds so they can bully and threaten them away from the cameras. This is disgusting.
And why are they doing this? Blake Lively seems to be her own worst enemy. This is a strategy that can only blow up in her own face. Ryan too. Believe it or not I like these two. Or did. But this behaviour has shown us who they are.
No one should be fearful of speaking out against the actions of rich and privileged actors who continue to behave disgracefully with impunity. They cannot use mainstream media to control their false version of events and then punish social media users when the public goes against their narrative seeded through high profile media outlets.
Shame on Blake and Ryan’s law firm for issuing these cowardly subpoenas. If you want to subpoena me for saying so go ahead, make my day.
Especially when we all know - even you - that the real culprits are staring at themselves in the mirror.
Trump on his budget today:
It reduces the deficit!
(It raises the deficit by $3.4T)
No tax on social security!
(That’s not in the bill)
No cuts to Medicaid!
(Largest Medicaid cuts in history).
So, which is it?
If this info wasn’t classified, that in itself would be a scandalous screw-up that must be explained.
And if it was classified, then the Trump administration lied to Congress and to the American people.
BREAKING: The Trump admin accidentally texted a journalist, Jeffrey Goldberg, from The Atlantic, their top-secret war plans on Yemen.
Texts are below between Vance and Hegseth, in which the journalist was included.
Imagine if Biden did this! So incompetent.
