How Often Do Health Insurers Say No to Patients?
No One Knows.
==

Insurers’ denial rates are a critical measure of how reliably they pay for customers’ care. But they remain mostly secret to the public.

There’s nowhere a consumer or employer can go to look up all insurers’ denial rates.

Federal and state regulators have done little to change that.

Drones are reusable and recyclable so your attempted gaslighting approach to Life Cycle Assessment is flawed just from that one omission not to mention you neglect to account for the mining required to manufacture the fireworks you're so determined to defend.

But, if you are determined to make the case for polluting our atmosphere by blowing crap up in it than you are welcome to do so on your own thread of course. We all have to take sides on stuff imo. https://t.co/FNMshNqGwc

Denver last year offered subsidies for buying electric bikes

Their first 600 were snapped up in 10 minutes. Demand was *huge*

Denver ended up issuing over 4,700 (about 2,300 of which went to low-income residents)

Research shows it reduced car-miles driven in the city by 100K a week

My takeaway?

We should have ebike subsidies *everywhere*, and *now*. Cheaper than electric car subsidies, and arguably even more catalytic
