But you blame the contract as to why commercial pays less, when it’s because that’s what someone accepted. They’re obviously going for a low number and it’s your sides job to negotiate for yourself. I just made another comment about lazy ma

You’re not a hospital then. I see this with some specialties or types of providers. I’ve also seen it do complete 180. As in, Medicare is high reimbursement for a decade or two allowing a specialty to proliferate, then one day they rug pull

Not sure that would play the same in US though. Black population in the US is still concentrated in neighborhoods formed by overt racism and segregation and same neighborhoods tend to be food desert where no healthy or even fresh options ex

Social reasons it would never work. I hate to mention anything race related online but simple truth is America has complicated history and African Americans are 30% more likely to be obese than White Americans and also earn approximately 60

Medicaid is usually a big loss for hospitals. It’s just a cost of doing business and another reason why someone else has to pay more. It’s completely a subsidy essentially. This is why certain areas only have a county hospital, it’s likely

Medicare prices are too low to operate on. They generally factor in the bare minimum or slightly less for the variable costs of a procedure but severely under value the fixed costs of providing the same procedure. So those costs largely get

I toggle it on and off with a keyboard shortcut on a rare occasion colors are hard to read for me. Mostly use it on my phone actually (it's a triple click of the lock button on my iPhone). There are shortcuts on Windows and MacOS too.

Curious as someone that doesn't experience the issue but assumes that your system Accessibility settings, maybe high-contrast, would be useful instead of expecting individual sites to tailor their color palette... does that not work?

If you’re unsuspecting and the investors get enough return, then it’s really not to hard as no one is going to be watching you or have any reason or ability to audit your finances. I’d say it’s almost expected that someone in that position

I’ve seen it play out multiple times, highlights precisely why a candidate should never withhold their application based on preference of years of experience with anything. They simply haven’t put much thought into those numbers.

When I saw the headline I immediately thought of the API, this does a great job explaining its relevance in its time! It’s interesting how even programmers then were trying to learn the concept, but now “API” is common language even nontech

I don’t know, law enforcement in the US is already heavy handed in terms of enforcement. Not that it’s done equally, which is your intention, but it’s that the enforcer already thinks they are overly powerful and already commonly oversteps

My main reason to go to bank after online was to deal with physical things. Mainly checks and specifically depositing them. Now, I can usually do that with my phone because of the camera. Even if I had a webcam before, I don’t recall the fu

I think that's the problem, the greatest generation were sort of a moral compass in the US (like it or not, they obv had their own problems - eg. racism). Without them to scold us, it seems we're all too infantile/selfish&#x2

It is crazy but it’s also quite true. People eschew true adult responsibility for much longer these days. It’s a macro trend. I know there’s a lot of “whys” but not getting married, not having kids, living with parents, etc all compound to

I think there’s a middle ground where in the US many people would be having kids around 30 if they could afford it. Our recent past reflects that. Even the number of kids have been reduced as the cost has become too high, so it’s not parent

Didn't read that account but I went through it with wife. The egg collecting / embryo creating process is the expensive part, so depends on how many times you have to do that process. The re-implantation was significantly cheaper,
