Nuremburg trials is the moderate position
He said that the agents would throw food at them to eat. The agents threatened to withhold food for a week and to beat him up if he didn't sign deportation papers. He said he saw others refuse and get beaten/receive no food. He signed because he was afraid.

"External appeals serve a unique and critical role in ensuring access to justice for patients facing inappropriate denials. They provide a relatively unbiased, low-barrier pathway for patients to contest denials. In contrast, internal appeals lack a conceptual basis for impartiality."

Wow. New York times has been platforming moronic opinions for a long time, but credit where credit's due, their headlines still have that sweet sweet profitable shock value. Gotta maximize those clicks.

A lot less talk about what all that money is supposed to be for, and the extent to which the insurers paid these premiums actually follow coverage rules.

I’m sorry, why are we using “critics accuse” language here? These are factually, unambiguously, extrajudicial killings. It’s not an opinion. It’s not a disputed or disputable claim.

High appeal rates would alter the calculus insurers use to inform adjudication practices. With enough appeals and overturns, it would cost more to administer *wrongful* denials than to cover the associated services.
