I try, but then I know all financial data is resold, all your network metadata is gathered, and things like CLOUD Act and local equivalents, and it's hard to parse out what to actually worry about. Maybe best is to create a lot of spurious traffic and digital noise.

They lead by example, fitness, fruit-days, etc. Showing how to keep a healthier workforce.
You won't see this CEO in Forbes, since his package is more modest, as he also believes in delivering to his members, and now server as chairman.
That ethos is baked into that group.

Basic coverage for everyone in an expanded medicaid/medicare, by a group already set to manage claims.
CEO, "it's ok to be paid well, just not to do wasteful things. Waste means your neighbour doesn't get that knee replacement they need"
You'll hear all the staff repeat that.

hard to do, even on platforms I'm not on it's mentioned.
The year though ... you can totally play with that.

Pomegranate Mule / Storm
Got some Pomegranate Molasses to make Muhammara, and ended with some drinks too.

This might help some

US taxes for HC are already higher than in Canada. Just most people get 0/nothing/nada for what they are paying for.

As you did with your pharma site, removing the middleman and being the direct payor is a massive cost savings. That's the path fwd.

Government spending shouldn't be a black box. We turn complex data into clear, non-partisan insights so every Canadian knows where their money goes.

To put some colour on that, in Canada our tax allocation to healthcare is less than what the US already taxes people.

I used to say to people, be better consumers, demand to get something for what you pay for.

Happy to share what I know, having worked in the administrative side of US and Canadian HC. In addition to some work in other jurisdictions.

I'm not sure that's correct. When FFS is compared in a city the rates vary wildly, and don't have a strong correlation to outcomes.

I like the UKs take on that.
Linking your employer to HC is anti-democratic. Your HC shouldn't depend on aligning your vote with your employer.

we're now adding dental.
there's also some pharma coverage, along with annual max pharma payments.

The latter seems to be working well for n8n.io, but yeah I wonder if that distinction / feel you mention maybe actually helps in this case?

1 thing for sure, going from X -> Y is harshly punished.

I don't know the full extent of the check. But DID, VC support claims, so a claim of >18, or 19, or 21 could be added. Limits the disclosure of personal information

I fundamentally oppose the parts affecting amnesty and tying of refugee seekers to other border issues.
But wrt to the privacy portions, it looks to me like maybe removing the current step of getting CSIS to do that for you. That seems a bit of an erosion, but not much.

Deploying to Firebase.
If I want to minimize costs I have to manually split / design my app in into static and ssr parts.
It may come at some point, but has some impedence.
Totally love nuxt though.

Whoa, that's nice.

especially with incentives and targets being scaled back.

It'd be nice too to have similar renewable rebates, tax breaks, like Washington state has for home based solar and smaller community projects.
