My mom fell into a case where she was *never* owed money by the IRS, so I put her info in after Stimulus #1 and the website has her information for this one. No posting date yet on bidenbux. Meanwhile, a bit more context to the American AstraZeneca-Oxford stockpile: https://twitter.com/WHCOS/status/1370907029259304965 Multiple millions of doses ain't much for what we now have the capability to immediately shoot into arms. A big development is that the shots-into-deltoids component of US capacity is probably more advanced than expected. The American AZ-O stockpile will get used up quick once the data is back and the feds might know when that data's expected (without rushing it like Donnie dumbass tried).

Godholio posted:Just got reimbursed for my out-of-pocket costs for covid back in August. Thanks, Cigna. My wife had surgery in December, but had a procedure in...August or September that we got told was $1200 out of pocket. Thankfully we had it, and paid it. In January we got the letter from insurance showing all of our bills from the year, hers between surgery and other poo poo totaled like 240k for the year. Surgery alone was somewhere around 220k, with 160k taken off immediately just for having insurance, and it broke down to our bill being right around 1400 between copay for surgery and separate anesthesia charge. Couple weeks ago she sees an $1142 deposit in her account, from the hospital. Insurance has no idea why, and it was coded as a refund. Finally gets ahold of the hospital. "Oh, yeah. That money is yours, the file is closed and final amount is zero, thats what we owed you." "Yes, but from what?" "Oh, from *first procedure.* we billed you 1200 and it should have been $72 out of pocket." Aaaaaaameeeeerrrriiiiicaaaaaa

The “insurance discount” is the actual cost of your care. Hospital bills have a built in 3-5x multiplier on costs to gently caress people over.

I never pay a medical bill until they start calling me directly because by that point the total cost has changed like 3-4 times at minimum. If they're gonna just make poo poo up I'll wait. So far this has never been reported for a credit score etc.

Have you ever heard of the term "balance billing?" This is where hospitals in some states will take the insurance payment for the actual costs of your visit off of the bullshit price, and then send you a bill for the remainder. Almost 2/3 of all personal bankruptcies in the USA are in large part because of our glorious free market healthcare system.

Mr. Nice! posted:The “insurance discount” is the actual cost of your care. Hospital bills have a built in 3-5x multiplier on costs to gently caress people over. It’s not exactly this. Insurance and hospitals bargain over the prices set for services and medications used during an admission. The bargained price they agree upon is purposefully 3-5x higher than actual cost price because they know ahead of time that they’re only covering a lower amount of a bill. I’m really bad at explaining this but the inflated price is sort of a fake price that they all know doesn’t mean much. But also, every insurance company covers a different amount of that inflated fake price, and sometimes people have to pay for it all out of pocket, and sometimes people don’t pay at all and the hospital eats the cost (imagine how that inflated price leads to more tax write off kickback down the road when the hospital eats the cost..) And because of all that variance the inflated price sort of helps average it all out. Basically it’s totally loving stupid.

I had to pay 250 bucks this week to spend 5 minutes with a doctor so he could prescribe a statin.i haven't met my deductible yet this year, so everything is full price until I hit that 1500 threshold. That's on top of the 350 a month I pay for insurance. It was my first appt. to see a Dr. In a few years and now I remember why I don't go to the doctor, and why most Americans don't have regular healthcare. Our medical system loving rules.

The big thing to remember with those inflated hospital prices is that they are meant to be haggled over. If you get a giant absurd bill you can, instead of just paying, call them up and say the bill is absurd and you aren't paying, but you might go as high a $10 and a bottlecap, and they will counter that you are taking food out of their poor starving children's mouths(this is a lie, but not an indication of poor character as this is just part of negotiations) so you need to counter that they are charging enough to impoverish you and your poor pregnant wife(again, an acceptable lie un this scenario!). After several rounds of this, you should come to an equitable price Or they will refuse to fill your medication til you pay their inflated price because they hold all the power in that interaction

My mom would book as many appointments as possible as soon as the new year hit so that she could hit her deductible as fast as possible and I think that’s the only time I’ve heard of anyone going to the doctor for financial reasons. I haven’t dealt with health insurance thank god but I still don’t know why she does that.

Fareed is very concerned about kids and the border. Why? Because the fact that Biden’s admin is not outright denying asylum and leaving kids in Mexico or kicking them out in paper before ever allowing them to cross the border means, gasp, more people and children are attempting asylum in the USA. https://twitter.com/amymaldonadolaw/status/1370929768749748224?s=21 There’s this kind of dumbass space that exists in the discourse where twitter seems to think Biden et al ran out to find and round up kids to throw them in cages and conservatives are furious that our poor law enforcement has to deal with greater immigrant numbers because of a combo of the pandemic partially reigned in and an administration that is not straight up sating they’ll deny access illegally if need be. More people (and children) seeing the USA as desirous is good! But if we’re gonna pat ourselves on the back for emerald city on a hill poo poo, maybe the waiting area of the city shouldn’t suck and look like a jail or FOB. For those who just say “borders should not exist, full stop” sure. That’s an ideologically consistent take.

https://twitter.com/JDVance1/status/1370873282824667136 Setting aside the topic of degree requirements for officers - one of the main themes of Hillbilly Elegy is that, generally speaking, things would be better if people weren't petty, small-minded shitheads. Thus I'm a little surprised that he's advocating for military leadership to be more petty, small-minded shitheads.

Also the only way to escape that hellscape was to completely abandon your family and adopt the culture of the ruling class. Also in the movie at least his character says something about finding the term "redneck" dismissive and offense which is pretty loving "woke". Or am I missing something?

JD Vance is proudly pro-Trump, pro-Ingram, pro-Limbaugh. He loves petty assholery as long as it’s his side. He will ocassionally make a broken clock statement like “maybe infrastructure should not suck” or “it’d be nice if single income households were viable.” His stance on immigration is that it’s hosed up that kids are in detention centers because the kids and families should have remained so terrified to come to the US that they’d never have shown up.
