[21:41] IsambardPrince :) [21:42] MinceR just as "small government" means the government is also a cult that's also enforcing religious rules on you, "government efficiency" means wasting more money for the sake of providing worse services to the citizen [21:43] MinceR (and also stealing more money because "hey, now we can afford it") [21:43] admfubar https://www.the74million.org/article/kept-in-the-dark/ [21:43] TR Bot Kept in the Dark The 74 [21:44] admfubar https://www.wired.com/story/elon-musk-lieutenant-gsa-ai-agency/ [21:44] TR Bot Musk Ally Tells Staff 'AI-First Is the Future of Key Government Agency | WIRED [21:45] MinceR skynet first [21:45] IsambardPrince MinceR, I probably just won't pay it.

[21:47] IsambardPrince So much for Musk operating OPM like a broken tech company. [21:47] IsambardPrince doesn't health insurance cover treatment in hospital? [21:47] IsambardPrince Sure! The insurance portion. [21:47] IsambardPrince There's basically three stages. The contracted rate, which is what they pay instead of the hospital chargemaster (a list of horribly inflated prices that the uninsured get that have nothing to do with the cost of care). [21:48] IsambardPrince Then working from there, they pay 80% of that (sometimes 70% now) and you pay the rest. [21:48] IsambardPrince 80% used to be the standard. [21:48] IsambardPrince To keep premiums down, Walmart changed their Aetna policies to pay only 75%. [21:48] IsambardPrince This country gets better every year.

[21:52] IsambardPrince That's why people tend to go to the ER when they can't say "NO NO! Don't take me there! I'll walk it off!" [21:53] IsambardPrince One time, someone called an ambulance for me because I was not on my medication (no insurance) and was rather depressed. [21:53] IsambardPrince But I still knew enough to refuse treatment and not tell them who I was or show them my driver's license or anything. [21:54] IsambardPrince They'll make a copy and try to turn you over to collections because someone else called them, not you.
