Working on this story with @LaClason made me realize that workers who have long-term disability insurance are often screwed if they need to use it. bloomberglaw.com/bloombergla…
Disability insurers and the doctors they hire to review claims have a history of courts overturning their denials. Alexia Fernández Campbell and I read hundreds of opinions naming doctors who are now being tapped to review claims from Long COVID patients.

Many of these doctors never examine patients in person. And Long COVID patients frequently suffer from symptoms that are hard to measure on paper, including chronic fatigue and brain fog.

The way courts treat ERISA -- the law that governs most health/disability benefits denials -- stacks the cards in favor of insurers. But that could be changing. Long COVID patients are the newest wave of litigants testing the limits. news.bloomberglaw.com/daily-…

My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made. Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this.
