CHICAGO – In an unprecedented move, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield plans representing Connecticut, New York and Missouri have unilaterally declared it will no longer pay for anesthesia care if the surgery or procedure goes beyond an arbitrary time limit, regardless of how long the surgical procedure takes. The American Society of Anesthesiologists calls on Anthem to reverse this proposal immediately.
When the police show up to investigate your murder, and they ask “Is there anyone who would wish to harm your Husband/Wife?” and your spouse just turns over your entire database of your clients, you’re the bad guy/girl.
Who is the CEO?
Asking for a friend
Anthem Blue Cross appears to be a subsidiary of Elevance Health, whose CEO is Gail Koziara Boudreaux
She currently lives in Indianapolis, IN.
These are fun facts
If there’s anything that we should all be aware of when it comes to insurance companies, it’s that they will fuck you as hard, and as often as possible, unless there is a law specifically prohibiting it. Even then, they’ll still try to get away with it, counting on you being too poor to fight them in court.
Insurance companies are among the most predatory and despicable entities that exist, which is why they should all be nationalized and provided by right to citizens and funded by taxpayer dollars. Specifically, rich people paying taxes.

Musk is offended that anyone else has anything at all. That’s a type of person he is.
Sorry, I deleted my comment because I didn’t think it was super relevant to yours lol
Here’s hoping they get the United Healthcare treatment.
Man, the timing on this announcement is breathtaking.
don’t worry, the people who continually vote this unregulated trainwreck into existence want to repeal obamacare, but want to keep their ACA
the term “medicare”, iirc, was first used to describe eisenhower’s dependents medical care act (for military families); and public-funded medical coverage for seniors (social security recipients) was first proposed during his administration (which ultimately passed congress under lbj, along with medicaid).
just take bernie’s medicare for all bill, that i’m sure he has written, rename it “the dwight d. eisenhower memorial health care act” and send it through.
Removed by mod
History suggests yes, for the most part, with one notable recent exception.
I’d love to know what he said, if not for the fucking mods removing every other god damned comment on this shithole website. Already looking for a new alternative.
Check the modlogs.
I shouldn’t have to do that. Or if they’re going to be available somewhere anyway they should simply provide the link to the log in the newly deleted comment.
Moderation shouldn’t be anonymous either, we make cops wear badges with identification.
That would defeat the point of removals.
It’s also not anonymous, it’s just that the default interface only shows “mod”.
Well, shit. I guess my point is that the only things worth removing are legitimate trolls and people completely off topic as opposed to “things the mods disagree with or don’t like”.
How do you change the default interface to name the moderator?
Well, one didn’t

Anthem cackles and croaks, “You have no power here!”
And there’s no Gandalf present.
Does the guy waiting in ambush with a glock count as Aragorn?
Legolas might be a better analogy.
does anthem execs ‘eat their own dog food’? they could easily be victim of their own policy: ‘sorry about you wakin’ up in the middle of your double bypass, your insurance for the sleep doc ran out’
Americans in 2025 trying to get more anesthesia:
Relevant Ontario ad: our lives are not for profit
California : The fuck outta here
Better look around in hotel parking lots.
This news is from November 14th. OP trying to make recent events into a new trend perhaps?
I don’t know whether to be appalled or impressed. Either way it’s quite clever.
