Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

There are also advocates who can help you navigate the insurance nightmare. We had to do it when I needed surgery a few years ago.

The tragedy, in my opinion, is that Americans have to do this stuff at all. You need a tactic to get the service you're literally paying for out of your own pocket.

I hate how useful this is.

This is what I want to see.

Beat them back at their own game.

It is like when police say they wish that policing was like in The Andy Griffith Show. Tell them that everyone knew where sheriff Andy Taylor lived. Why don't you tell everyone where you live, sheriff ?

My wife's neurologist has done this with her insurance more than once. Especially the practicing out of scope or without a license. Usually she got her way. Probably the best doctor my wife has ever had.
