One doctor’s recommendation to deny a 43-year-woman coverage “contained errors on practically every aspect” of her condition, the Labor Department said in 2012.
United and other insurers continued to hire the doctor over the next decade.

Insurers Continue to Rely on Doctors Whose Judgments Have Been Criticized by Courts
In dozens of cases ProPublica reviewed, judges found that some doctors working for these companies engaged in “selective readings” of medical evidence and “shut their eyes” to medical opinions opposing their conclusions.

Democrats cannot continue to be the party of the status quo.
People are fed up with politics as usual, so much so they voted for a human wrecking ball.
Be bold. Think outside the box. Ditch conventional thinking and outdated norms. Let go of preconceived notions.
Our future depends on it.

Bravo, Harry.
OK sports fans, so this is my last bulletin for my position at @losangelestimes.bsky.social. I resigned yesterday in protest of the paper's and owner's cozying up to Trump. Here's my explanation on my substack, where I hope you will follow me going forward.
