    At least some health insurance companies are temporarily easing up on denials or pausing shitty policies like limiting anthensia coverage during surgery.

    That alone could save a few hundred lives, even if just for a little while.

      The easing up in denials thing is just being spread as memes and screenshots, I haven’t seen any credible evidence of this yet.

      The anesthesia thing is true yes, thank goodness. What a deranged thing to attempt by BCBS.

          That’s the same company. They are called “Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield.” They are frequently referred to as “BCBS.”

            Anthem is one member of the BCBS insurance group. Hell, they compete with another member in California! (Blue Shield of California)
