#sorry I’m ranting

[yourtipsygrandma]

As someone who works with health insurance daily as part of my job, going after the CEO of UHC was great, I literally came back from lunch & said to my coworkers “you’ll never believe what just happened”.

But also we can aim higher. UHC is small potatoes. You know who has their hands in everything? UHG. The parent company. UHC, Optum, Humana, EXL health, hell they even have a hand in a decent portion of Anthem plans PLUS control a large portion of the Community Care Network for the Veterans’s Administration.

You know what else they control? BILLING. FOR MEDICAL PROVIDERS. More providers than you’d ever want to think use Optum as their billing company! So not only do they likely have their hands in your health insurance, they are also the company BILLING your insurance. Hello, incorrect CPT & DX codes that get denied!

Change Healthcare? A massive medical billing agency. Services a lot of EMS providers. It’s Optum owned. They got hacked at the beginning of this year. There are medical providers who still cannot bill insurance for their services at least 8 months later because they have no access to the system. So they send a bill to the patient hoping to recoup something because they can’t generate the ‘official’ bills insurance needs. (If you want my rant about false medical bills you’ll have to ask cause that’s a different conversation.)

Guess who else had a major hack this year? United Healthcare. I didn’t mention it earlier but they’re also AARP! So the company that has a strong hold on retired veterans, retired citizens, and people who are disabled/on SSDI basically had 2 major data breaches this year. Your health insurance has all of your info; age, date of birth, SSN, address, job, pretty much everything.

Optum also used to have its hands in Harvard Pilgrim Health Care, although I believe HPHC split from them either last year or this year. It was recent.

It’s insane. Almost the entire healthcare system relies on United Healthcare Group (not UHC, but close enough). I say burn it to the ground.

I think ultimately my problem is that I think of the daytime as the time to go outside so that I don’t explode and the nighttime as the time to stay inside and be productive

Instead of, say, being awake versus being asleep

Treating EVERYONE with respect is so major to me. I don’t understand how people don’t do that. We are all humans, doesn’t matter what walk of life you come from

[peskymumbo]

i’ve been reading so many grumbo posts lately and it’s been driving me so fucking insane that i just need to yell about them into the void. i’m not too good at explaining things with words, but i really enjoy using song lyrics and applying them to my favorite ships and situations they’re going through.

with that being said, i was listening to come back… be here by taylor swift and it really got some gears turning into my head about grumbo and how hermitcraft s10 is going so far?

like, i feel like i’m losing it? in my head, this is just so grian about mumbo to me but at the same time im just. i don’t know im rambling, im going crazy.

there’s so many taylor songs now that i look at it that could fit them i’m gonna go make a playlist now and stop talking before i embarrass myself and get something wrong

[xetlynn]

Okay the people who ship mylo and Claggor… are weird as fuck. 😭😭

Like literally in the show, mylo and Claggor hug vi and say “he’s our father too.” WHAT DO YOU THINK THAT INSINUATES YOU FREAKS!??!

Anyways😒

[ilyasorokinn]

guys, i love the hughes brothers, and i feel like this is talked about a lot, but i don’t want to only write for them. in fact, i don’t really want to write for them at all anymore.

if i don’t write only for them, i won’t get traction on my posts and i kind of hate it.

[flameonstorm]

okay, someone’s being dumb af. I was tagged in the POC post because I fucking am one. I’m not ‘pasty’ whoever fucking sent that anon is offensive as fuck. I am black, and fucking proud of it just because I’m not really dark doesn’t mean I’m not, if you’re gonna talk shit about me don’t do it in my friend’s inboxes when I’m right here.

Why the hell is it over a thousand dollars for just one of my medications. How in the world am I supposed to afford that once I move out??

I promise I’m not dead but I have to ration my meds till we find more so I’m struggling.

[imanopossum]

this is how i feel after scottish festival this weekend i had to play pipes all day and sing trad gaelic oran luaidh and talk to a ton of old people because they think it’s so cool my social battery is DEAD

but its ok i restocked my fav perfume from a vendor and got a tiara and spider earrings 😇😇

i wanted a new sgian dubh or dirk but i didn’t particularly like the selection and they’re expensive as HELL. not paying $200 for a sock knife

[golden-rolling-hills]

can i please catch a break? PLEASE CAN I CATCH A FUCKING BREAK???? i can’t afford a new tire right now what the fuck 😭😭😭 and i have to drive 3 hours to go back my moms next week what the fuuuuuuckkkkk

[touchlikethesun]

i would like to talk with the people that came up hanyu pinyin. it’s supposed to be for people already familiar with the latin alphabet. but as someone familiar with the latin alphabet and how it is used for multiple languages, i do not think the people making pinyin were actually familiar with how the latin alphabet is used in any language. we’re genuinely better off transcribing everything into IPA. sure ipa is a bitch to learn but then i’d understand that “q” is pronounced “tch” and “g” is pronounced “k” - that last one actually makes me so mad the explanation on wikipedia is that “g” is pronounced like “k” so why didn’t they just use “k”??? it’s because “k” is supposed to be aspirated but i have an easy fix: “kh.” there’s your aspiration. it’s not perfect but it sure is less confusing than assigning pronunciations to a latin letter that literally not a single soul uses

[sophiafireheart]

I’m about to go on a rampage.

While I was away at college, my mom apparently was giving her friend (that was out of state) a tour around the house. When she came into my room and saw my Mario poster, she told my mom, “I thought you said your daughter was in her 20s”

THEN she has the audacity to look around my room (sees all my action figures and plushies) and say “it looks like a child lives in here”

Thankfully my mom stood up for me but OH BOY IF I WAS THERE.

[cesienthusiast]

this is the most “trying to explain to cishet people queerness” type of bs, your brain is so small.. so tiny… no thoughts

Being overworked, on top of being stressed about not having a plan for the first day of a class I reluctantly volunteered to teach in three days, on top of wanting to draw, on top of being to tired to draw, has lead to me getting absolutely nothing done.
