It is a single-step plan.

You write them to request a list of documents that they are legally required to provide if requested, the list of documents is numbered in that screenshot.

Either they provide that information, which you can use to dispute the denial, or they repeal the denial and pay your bill.

If you struggle to this degree with reading, I recommend downloading a screen-reader. If you already use one, my apologies for not initially providing a text transcript of the screenshot.

I mean, I’m American, and I read all that.

Granted, I am acutely aware of our education crisis, and put extra effort into learning literacy to compensate for the times I become non-verbal, but anyone who values this information would gladly read it. You don’t have to if you just don’t want to, but it’s your own loss if you choose not to read it.

It makes me tempted to start a coalition of volunteer lawyers who specialize in this. Straight out of law school, funded by a combination of donations and side jobs in law. These volunteer lawyers would have a group social media channel (probably on YouTube and other similar sites) explaining what they do and why. We’d probably also need a tip-line for submitting claims against these health insurance agencies.

Why use a gun when you can use a microwave oven?

No, just deny their claim for testicular cancer treatment coverage.

ahhh, I get it now lmao

It’ll suck if you’re the only one. But there’s a good chance you won’t be. If we signal boost this as a PSA and everyone keeps track of their insurance provider doing this, then class-action lawsuits will become more feasible.

Not all at the same time haha But any of the ones you prefer are fine!

I don’t understand this comment.

Of course, asking them if it’s true and then casually letting them know that you’re willing to independently investigate and sue if the information they provided is found to be false may be a deterrent from lying. Depends on how ballsy their CEO is.

I’ve always struggled with that. Whenever I allow my mind to idle, I start thinking about random stuff, and inevitably my childhood trauma comes up. Then I enter a downspiral that’s hard for me to escape.

Of course! If someone uses mirror pronouns, it just means they want to be referred to by whatever pronouns you use. If two people with mirror pronouns want to refer to each other, usually there are backup pronouns (my backup is they/them) to keep things from getting confusing xD

Not everyone will be comfortable using mirror pronouns because if you are dysphoric towards a particular gender, someone of the gender you’re dysphoric with would refer to you with pronouns you’re not comfortable with.

However, I consider myself agender, and while I don’t want to be percieved as any particular gender, I also want to be friendlier with people and hope that “matching” the person I’m talking to will make developing friendships easier.

Other people may have different motivations, but that one is mine. Since I only get dysphoric when someone assumes I’m a gender they don’t like (not even sure if that’s dysphoria tbh) I’d rather just chameleon to whoever I’m talking to.

I’m speaking with someone who uses he/him? I’d prefer he uses he/him to describe me.

I’m speaking with someone who uses she/they? I’d prefer they use she/they to describe me.

This applies to every kind of pronoun.

I rely on my spouse for income and chores are something I unfortunately don’t have the dopamine for. Even “fun” things are difficult to make myself do.

I only ever eat safe foods and already have an air fryer, I’m pasty, and can’t bear weight on my right ankle :/

This is probably a hot take but I still think the guy in the left image (who was 17 at the time of initial controversy) had a chuni moment fueled by the propaganda he’d been fed that had consequences that (while obvious to most other people) he did not foresee.

Obviously what he did wasn’t ok, being a dumb teen doesn’t justify anything.

But he was denied the chance to learn from his mistakes.

After being put through the wringer by the general public, he was turned into a speaking puppet for the right by opportunistic fascists who saw his mental vulnerability and (metaphorically) burned him at the stake the minute he started defending leftist positions years later.

As I understand, the right turned on him eventually for supporting “woke” ideals.

I think this is a gross case of fascism-flavored child stardom. You can disagree, I don’t intend to argue. I don’t know him personally. I only know I was that level of dumb at his age, too.

I just feel weird about lumping in a kid who was exploited by the same right-wing opportunists we’re opposing with said right-wing opportunists.

While it may be obvious to us that shooting a protestor is bad, he likely saw the guy as a bad guy he needed to save people from. Delusional, yes, but ultimately rooted in his upbringing and developing neurology.

He was exploited a different way than we’re being exploited, but he was still exploited by the same people exploiting us.

For all we know, his past actions haunt him, and no amount of therapy could ever help him recover fully from the weight of his own mistakes.

I am neither telling nor asking anyone to sympathize with him. I just wanted to get my perspective out there.

It is entirely possible that I’m just a big softy who doesn’t want to believe that kids can be evil.

Or maybe I’m right on this one specific thing. I’m not sure any of us will definitively know at any point. I sure as hell don’t know with any significant confidence.

I’m struggling to make myself do things that I thought I wanted to do. It’s frustrating.

Yeah, I’ve got the “too exhausted to continue” kind of burnout

I can do silly! My main YouTube channel is centered around silly.

(I’m hoping that plugging it here is socially acceptable, I have no idea, but I figure it’s relevant?) My channel trailer

Thank you!! I didn’t know that was a thing :O
