🚨SCOOP: Congress may cancel the automatic airline refunds just promised by the Biden administration. Four airline-bankrolled lawmakers just inserted language into a bill that could undermine the rule, according to legislative text reviewed by @LeverNews levernews.com/congress-may-c…
@spiralcure @doctorow In German publicly funded hospitals (=almost all, no matter whether they are municipality-, church-, non-profit-, or private-investor-owned), prices are based on diagnosis-related groups, and negotiated by hospitals on one and both public and private insurances on the other side.

@spiralcure @doctorow The UK’s NHS may not currently be in the best state, but at least it’s free at the point of use (excluding prescriptions, eye tests, dental treatment, excessively long wait-lists… oh never mind)
@spiralcure @doctorow As a Canadian, the American healthcare system just seems so wasteful, unfair and absurd. For now Canadians have a relatively sane system, but conservatives continue to erode it in favour of a duplicitous for profit model. To the ramparts!

@doctorow Funny how no matter what the procedure, it's always priced a little above the covered amount? The first time I get a medical bill it automatically goes into this file. Think of it as civil disobedience.
When I saw this new one, I told my insurance company-hating physician spouse "Doctorow is going after health insurers!" in exactly the same way Mouse says "Morpheus is fightin' Neo!" in The Matrix.

@newsstandpromos @doctorow Deregulation (which itself is driven by interested parties and their effective lobbyists) has meant this idea of free market capitalism CEOs love to tout doesn't really exist if there isn't a ~market~ to compete within but just one or two big players! The rich get richer🙃
Fun night - thanks, Cory and organizers!
In blocking @Microsoft's acquisition of @ATVI_AB, the @CMAgovUK made history: they stepped in to prevent a convicted monopolist from seizing control over a nascent, important market (cloud gaming), ignoring MS's transparent, self-serving lies: assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/644939aa… 1/

There are no #libertarians in a bank run. No sooner had VCs whipped each other into a terrified Twitter frenzy at the collapse of #SVB - a collapse caused by that frenzy - than the #AynRand-poisoned elites started begging for Uncle Sucker for handouts: x.com/ericnewcomer/s… 1/
Let's talk about radiotrophic fungi. I want to start with the most surprising fact about them: they don't just SURVIVE in high radiation environments, they grow at *FOUR TIMES* the rate they would in background radiation. Our best guess is they're "eating" radiation.
