This Little-Known Appeal Could Force Your Insurer to Pay for Lifesaving Care. Here’s How to File It. When a health insurer refuses to pay for your treatment, you may have the right to have the denial reviewed — and potentially overturned — by an independent provider. Here are six steps experts sugges...

Few patients appeal a health insurance denial, but a little-known process that requires insurers and plans to seek an independent opinion can force insurers to pay for what can be lifesaving treatment.

Here’s what experts say you need to know.

In response to this administration's handling of the Epstein files, I’ve decided to "come out” in solidarity with said survivors. I am a "1 in 6" - a male survivor of childhood sexual abuse. I created a podcast to memorialize my dog, but it took a more introspective turn. Read the alt text for more.

Hit the 3,000 download mark on my podcast, "If You Don't Want My Opinion" - free and available pretty much everywhere. These are just sites that my platform tracks. Very proud of myself considering I have as yet to do any marketing. karlmarking.podbean.com

Shelby Love: The Beginning This is the first episode in a four episode series about the life and loss of my dog, Shelby. She was a rescue from the south, I took her in as a medical foster, and we spent the rest of her life toge...

I was following the story of a dog that had been cast aside a bit over a week ago, left to die. Strangers intervened.

It reminded me why I started podcasting.

My first ep below - knowing nothing about pods, but wanting to memorialize my life with my deceased dog.

Does the University of Toronto not understand that ‘AI’ is literally entirely derivative of human creativity?

It is guessing what humans would say!

Screenshot of an X post by Matt Gaetz stating that any teacher who leads an anti-ICE walkout should be instantly fired and possibly deported. Below it is a reply suggesting the same should apply to any congressman who has sex with 17-year-old girls.

This is the guy Trump first wanted for the job so he could help bury the Epstein files.

That was your headline? How about “Pam Bondi displays unprecedented lack of decorum and respect for her position, the rule of law, the Epstein survivors, her oath of office, and the American people it is her job to serve and protect.”

"Some of the sharpest applause came when Conway warned that legislation alone would not constrain Trump. 'We can pass the ‘Everything is Better’ bill… And he’s going to ignore it... He is not going to obey the law, because he doesn’t. He’s a criminal, and we have to put an end to [his presidency]."

Watching Bondi’s performative “testimony” yesterday, as a survivor myself, was horrific.
This administration, many of whom were participants in this scandal, are clearly protecting pedophiles who tortured & murdered innocent children. They are traitors to this nation and must be held to account.

I don’t have a subscription, but I can only imagine you’re referring to “Don’t Trust the B**** in Apartment 23” which was hysterical.

is this a joke to them?

For anyone who wants a summary of the absolute s**tshow the admin put on in Congressional hearings about the Epstein Files, YouTube scam expert Coffeezilla put together a video that neatly summarizes the insanity and the absurdity:

Cats on sofas placed higher than Kid also. A site devoted to taking the piss out of Vance. I just don’t have the numbers to hand.

Every single one of these people, including those in this administration who have stonewalled and protected these vile perpetrators, must be held to account and prosecuted as appropriate.

I hear 'Cats on a couch' (that thing that trolls Vance) aired something and got 6M views. 4M for K.R. seems really high to me. Did they force the military to watch as an intermission to Melania?

I was reminded recently that beyond the abject cruelty and flagrant abuse of power and defiance of the law - these facilities are here to make money off the misery of the people they have wrongly detained. Just more outrageous grift from this administration.

This must end. No reform. Abolishment.

Body cameras were always a requirement for ICE. As you note - it’s the releasing of the footage that matters. As Russia has said for years - it’s not who votes that matters, it’s who counts the votes. Enter Trump’s bid for federalized voting.
