That tiny sliver in this chart is the share of health insurance claim denials appealed by consumers.

Since United Healthcare killers shells said “delay, deny, depose” & police said he came from GA, I read all lawsuits there on UH unjust claim denials. There are so many, including where UH delayed till plaintiffs ran out of $. Some ended in deaths of kids. suspect list is endless

"Deny, deny, deny. That's how you hit your numbers."
Read @propublica's seminal series on how insurance giants like United and Cigna systematically, cruelly—and very, very profitably—deny health coverage every day, at the expense of patients' lives.

.@UHC denied my surgery two days before it was scheduled. I was in the hospital finance office in tears (when I was supposed to be at the hospital doing pre-op stuff). 1/7
And Deloitte’s sloppiness didn’t just happen in one state.
Florida paid Deloitte millions to design a Medicaid eligibility system. As the state began to disenroll Floridians in 2023, officials found a “glitch” that cut off coverage for eligible new mothers.

A model of how to respond to bad people.
The neo-Nazis told police they had never received such a violent response as the one they received in Columbus, and claimed people threw cans and veggies. dispatch.com/story/news/crim…

The audit found 15 IRS employees (out of over 80,000) that owed taxes
“Rules for thee, not for me.” Thousands of IRS employees & contractors literally *aren’t paying their own taxes.* @SenJoniErnst audited the IRS & found they owed nearly $50 million. The government-wide number of employee unpaid taxes is over $1.5 billion. The hypocrisy is insane.

NEW: Florida sued the FDA over a “reckless delay” in approving its drug importation plan. Now, nearly a year after the FDA gave the state the green light, the program has yet to begin.

Sad factor in the loss of porches: Appraisers don’t value them.
If Builder A built a 2,000 sqft home without a porch, and Builder B built an identical home with a nice porch, Builder B was punished in the value, loan amount.
So they stopped building porches.

The Telegraph is a relatively conservative British paper.
But unlike much of US media, they're not afraid to write the truth in a headline.

I can't figure out if vaccines work or not.

Need Sherlock Holmes on this one.

A lot of economic errors here. Tariffs do NOT boost domestic production. They SHIFT domestic production away from efficient industries toward inefficient industries, making most of us poorer. 1/2
