I think that was me lol. I went on a rant about people blaming insurance during the lead up to the democratic debates.

 

[McDad]

wow. You are all in.

government told me to, so I question nothing. I thought lawyers were critical thinkers.

nah. They're just critical.

I made that point a few years ago with another poster. Health insurance profit is predicated on constantly rising medical care costs.

How accurate it is I don’t know but I was once told Medicare/Medicaid pretty much dictate what medical providers charge.

It doesn't. It dictates what will be reimbursed for specific diagnosis codes and procedures for the patients in those programs. So it is a factor. Perhaps the most influential factor given the facility and the patients it serves.

It was actually a simple "yes" or "no" question.

Neither are mandatory.

People ought to take both.

And I can't decide which is worse: people.who don't get the covid vaccine because they legitimately believe the crap right wing conspiracy/social media crap that it will cause your pee pee to fall off, or people who just SAY that's why they aren't getting it to cover for their political reasons of disdain for the entire effort.

I thought that the reason that people weren't getting it was because it was a Trump vaccine and anything Trump does is a lie? Are you saying that it's now safe since Trump is no longer President?

What about those of us that generally feel there has not been enough testing and that there is not enough time passed to reasonably evaluate the downrange side effects - of a never before used in humans EVER type of vaccine - ?

The times where a vaccine or other medical treatment have had unintended or unknown consequences is incredibly tiny in the scheme of all the different vaccines or treatments developed over the years.

Absolutely untrue.

I do not know, have never met, and have never read a report about, a person declining to get the vaccine because Trump helped advance it (whilst simultaneously saying no one needs it, which is its own oddity).

Did you get the vaccine? I did.

Have they told them to stop eating undercooked birds yet?

No apparently not. They just defeather them and eat them raw dog probaly.

Wow. You posted one link from March 2020 when COVID was still in its infancy in the US and much was unknown and another from 2005.

Well done.

How does that impact the point about vaccines as a whole?

Yeah not going through that crap again.

Thanks. The history of vaccination safety was being discussed, so you might bother actually reading the article rather than just looking at the date and the pretty colors.

I do think it's funny that I'm having to explain to an attorney that medications, vaccines, and other therapeutics quite frequently have unintended side effects (and even cause harm).

I worked in risk management for my previous employer. I didn't have a say in any insurance negotiations, but I was in on the conversations. The insurer would itemize the procedures they paid for over a certain period, and they'd tell us that it was going to up our rate by $_________.

We had one year where we'd had several employees give birth over the prior 18-24 months. Our insurer jacked up our rate, and management opted not to pass any of it onto the employees. I sat and listened as a rep from the insurer told us "Vasectomies are elective, but they're covered under your plan. If some of your employees or their spouses get snipped, your plan will probably get a bit cheaper next year."

This sounds like an employer that is "self-insured" with the insurance company only acting as the administrator of the program. Typically, the program is completely through an insurer and not the company.
