I did not realize that that's how it worked. Good to know, thanks!

3. kinda hard to frame it as "the state comptroller" forcing the decision when they announce rolling it back in other, unrelated states. Unless the state comptroller of Connecticut also holds sway in New York.

doubling down on connecticut like connecticut controls new york (in which they've also reversed this decision)

Or are you trying to confirm your priors by thinking healthcare companies are making policy decisions because of one murder

I think it's really suspicious timing and there is absolutely a non zero chance that their decision to announce this, TODAY, was motivated by the murder and the subsequent widespread consensus of "yeah fuck insurance companies, he deserved it" I've been seeing

and again, idk if you know much about America or american corporations or health insurance companies in particular but they don't typically announce a ghoulish change to make a bunch of money and then go back on it just because "the state comptroller MIGHT go after us 😔😔😔"

like how much do you think the lawyers to keep that tied up in court would cost versus money saved in the meantime by denying claims? idk, but I would be very surprised if the lawyers would cost more, anesthesia and related insurance is fucking expensive because if they fuck up, people die

anyway, blocking you again
