I've been saying this since Elon joined the campaign last summer. The right-wingers would lose their fucking minds if Soros did anything like this.

Everyone knows this is true; it's not a secret in any way. But it's in violation of a number of regulations, and a LOT of times the company will just give up and pay the bill rather than handing you proof they're violating the regs. It's a tactic that has worked for me many, many times.

This is, she says, a wildly successful tactic, because if the insurance company answers them honestly, it gives you evidence that the "doctors" making these determinations are practicing medicine out of scope, without proper licensing and qualifications, in areas they are not competent in.

You are not entitled by law to *all* of these things in most states, but you're entitled to some of them, and you can always ask for them.

3) proof the doctor making the determination has maintained registration in your specific state and documentation of their meeting all their continuing education requirements
4) the aggregate rate at which similar treatments are denied vs approved by the specific doctor being used for peer review.

1) the name, board specialty, and license number of the doctor making the determination the treatment was not medically necessary
2) copies of all materials they relied on to make their determination

To everyone in a similar scenario: the tactic my doctor's office has taught me is to ask, in writing, for:

You mean coming 'back' to the White House.

This is a losing issue for Democrats. I support anyone's right to live their life however they want, but trans rights as a platform issue for Democrats is costing them significantly more votes than they'll ever get.

My thought after a few days is they'll blame the deep state fighting back for why their 'policies' are failing.

Must be from all of those fake punches to the head.

You should join Joe the next time he does the Outta the Van show. We did it last week with Greg Shelton, we talked about a ton of shit.

Yeah, but if you look at the numbers Biden is handing over the strongest economy in the world. It's frustrating how susceptible so many people are to right-wing misinformation. The border isn't driving crime rates and public schools aren't forcing trans surgeries on students.

Who do you think the MAGA crowd points the finger at when the wheels fall off?

Biden?
Pelosi?
Soros?
