Interns, or PA's now do the Hospital rounds, not the doctor. When my eldest had a triple Bypass 2 years ago, you saw more of the Nurse. And AI has to approve any treatment. The murder of the HEALTHCARE CEO has brought out angry patients. OVER THE AI DISAPPROVAL OF TREATMENT OR DELAYS.

A primary care physician in the wake of a UnitedHealthcare CEO’s killing has highlighted growing frustrations within the medical community over insurance company practices, particularly aggressive claim denials.

Dr. Saju Mathew, a 20-year veteran physician, told NewsNation Monday that insurance companies are increasingly blocking critical medical procedures through complex “prior authorization” processes.

“We as doctors have been crying, screaming on the top of our lungs regarding how lots of insurance companies are denying claims on a daily basis,” Mathew said on “NewsNation Now.” He cited examples of patients being unable to obtain routine tests like mammograms without extensive bureaucratic hurdles.

Seniors COLA RAISE IS 2.5%. SAME FOR MILITARY PAY, OR VETERANS. Won't keep up with groceries. Buttholes now going after Organics./Raw Milk.

Regarding #9, Boundary-- it looks attractive. But what's it like getting around in a foot of wet snow? (in Duluth & Minneapolis we have skyways between buildings, connecting parking ramps with hospitals and businesses.) And I searched businesses and found nothing related to pianos. Almost 5,000 residents and not one piano in the place?!?!? And it's been there for 30 years? uffdah. It does look way more attractive than "the Line", the city being built in the desert our in the Middle East. Hmmmmm.
