various quibbles
A ban is never going to happen. The way to kill the worst parts of gambling is to cap sportsbooks' rakes at 2%
the discourse over TikTok really makes me wonder what happens when we have to ban sports gambling

will we have people inventing a proletarian who gambles for his family?
Let’s ban more things. I want to feel this rush again.

From 2017. Doesn't seem to include physician practice groups + ambulatory care centers. So probably >$300bn in 2023 denials against $20bn in net income for health insurance industry. Insurer profits aren't a meaningful problem in healthcare www.modernhealthcare.com/article/2017...
Insurance claim denials cost hospitals $262 billion annually
Those denied claims spark huge cash-flow issues and recovery costs, according to new data.
