I never knew this, and sincerely doubt most people do. But besides this rare start-up, if you're an established player like Blue Cross, does one or dozens or even hundreds of complaints even matter?

More likely, doctors are very averse to lawsuits, and would sooner provide care to one patient at a loss than defend against a lawsuit, especially when it doesn't seem like a bluff because you seem like someone who could afford it (not

You smug bastard. Joking, but i'm in the US and have had so many issues in my life with huge medical bills and debt collectors, denial of care, insurance refusing to pay because a doctor messed up the paperwork, insurance not covering

Often times there are very good reasons for those restrictions, especially when pricing for a drug deviates dramatically from actual R&D / operations costs. Take the case of orphan drugs: http://www.forbes.com/sites

You are also an atypical worker. Less-skilled labor faces a much greater potential threat from uncontrolled immigration than you do. Also, many potential immigrants might decide to live in the US based on mistaken, outdated perceptions of o

Those are just the most fucked up systems you are aware of. The justice system (criminal matters/incarceration/probation/plea bargaining) is really bad and much more threatening imo. Also what about politics, budgeting, gover

Having core functionality dependent on js, if it is trivially avoidable, seems regrettable. But for enhancements, a lot of the experimentation and deviation from strict html in the early days and into the present, has ultimately led to best

Like another poster mentioned walking for 20 minutes in high heat and high humidity (like 100 deg F - 38 deg C - and 80% humidity, not uncommon at all in the South) can be a pretty unpleasant and sweaty affair, especially in dress clothes.

Thank you for bringing this up. Transit/transportation difficulties are often a huge strain if you're poor. People often wonder why poor people aren't en masse educating themselves to move up out of poverty, thinking they hav

I'm even more concerned about the friends of those participating in the experiment, particularly those that were part of the group filtering out more negative messages. If a friend made a post deemed negative, that would otherwise sign

Same here. Thank God for being able to inspect and delete distracting page elements. I do feel sorry for readers not versed in html editing though.

So basically you don't really believe that diversity and social mobility are important with regards to the workplace.

I've never been able to get into such a state either, with coding or any other such activity. For me the main impediment is almost definitely health-related (narcolepsy), but i wouldn't be surprised if there are quite a few other

As far as the low-income side of things, the safety nets you mention definitely help many people, but in the US at least there are still many other people who do not qualify for existing programs, but are still very much in need: - Long-ter

Not quite. They're raising campaign money to try and influence five upcoming congressional elections in favor of campaign finance reform. To do that, I imagine they'll run ads in key districts in support of whichever candidate or

Banks and other companies are not abstract entities to the people doing the negotiations; they are other negotiators and people like you. Being nice is a good way to improve relations with the other party, but this can often be short-sighte

Running low margins in retail is often more of a really cutthroat business strategy, rather than simply trying to be nice to customers. You can easily run smaller competitors out of business, and increase your volume and overall profits, by

That has nothing to do with why i objected to your post. A lot of people would make the same choices as you if they could, but there are hard limits in their lives that keep them from doing that (income, family, disability). Just please be

Your assertion that SEO's are unequivocally a scummy bunch is wrong and seems pretty irrational to me. A lot of SEO is simply making sure you include good descriptions for items, include keywords, have a properly marked up site so that
