CHICAGO – 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.

don't worry, the people who continually vote this unregulated trainwreck into existence want to repeal obamacare, but want to keep their ACA

Get the government out of health care! That's between me, my doctor, and Medicare.

the term "medicare", iirc, was first used to describe eisenhower's dependents medical care act (for military families); and public-funded medical coverage for seniors (social security recipients) was first proposed during his administration (which ultimately passed congress under lbj, along with medicaid).

just take bernie's medicare for all bill, that i'm sure he has written, rename it "the dwight d. eisenhower memorial health care act" and send it through.

Call it reagancare and no GOP politician would dare vote against it.

The GOP will just think of something snide to call it, Berniecare at best - CommieCare if they’re feeling spicy.

This is the same group of people who refused to call it the Democratic Party for so long, that “Democrat Party” (emphasis on the rat) has basically been normalised.

Don't forget "Demoncrat". Bet they hurt themselves adding that "n".
