Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield Won’t Pay for the Complete Duration of Anesthesia for Patients’ Surgical Procedures
In an unprecedented move, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield plans representing Connecticut, New York and Missouri have unilaterally declared it will no longer pay for anesthesia care if the surgery or procedure goes beyond an arbitrary time limit, regardless of how long the surgical procedure takes. The American Society of Anesthesiologists calls on Anthem to reverse this proposal immediately.

Every transphobe and every single person who has ever pushed a bathroom ban or any other anti-trans initiative is a gross, weird, pervert creep who is obsessed with children's genitals, and they should never stop being publicly shamed for it.

Is "Dr. Oz" a real doctor, or did he just play one on TV? Also, is he even Australian, or does he just have a deep, abiding love for the land down under?

You don't have to defend every book on the list.
You have to object to the government telling you which ones you're allowed to see.
And in Iowa, you have to object to the ban being expanded from school libraries to public libraries and bookshops.

This bill isn't necessary - there are already laws and penalties for actual violations of nonprofit requirements.
Its only purpose is to give the Oval Office unilateral power over nonprofit status.
Some "dangerous" nonprofits:
1. Friends of the Library
2. Immigrant aid orgs
3. Fine arts orgs

As promised, updated scripts here for HR 9495, which will be headed back to the floor around Wednesday.
Yes, this is the bill that gives the Sec. Treasury powers to strip non-profits of their C3 status.
1. For House members,
2. For Senators,
3. For New Yorkers to call Schumer.
Please call.
