I am skeptical that unh is denying more than other insurers. Since half their business is physician practices, they actually make more money treating the patients. Also they have more physicians on staff making decisions than competition,

X86 throws away half its computing power on antivirus bloatware. And what other performance is left is hidden behind opaque instruction caching and look ahead. If they had actually given the end user access to speed, they might have chase

Overweight people (bmi 25-30) live longer. I bet they will eventually change bmi classifications to make that range normal. Underweight and obese people live less. But even there obese are probably better off than underweight. Being ove

There was a time before income tax… and there maybe a future without income tax. Or you can think of income tax as profit sharing with everyone’s required partner big brother. Remember corporate tax and payroll taxes are flat. the progres

Wealth is savings. If you don’t save, you don’t have any wealth. But by income, the bottom 50% are responsible for 20% of the productivity / income. They are probably more than 20% of consumption, given the others save more than the
