Can we talk about how BCBS is screwing SLPs?

The title says it all. I am a private practice SLP-Intern and I have recently become aware of some private practice owners stating that Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) is planning to cut reimbursement rates in at least one state by like at least $10. I looked into it and found this was after having a banner year in 2022 during which they made record profits. In addition, apparently in most states (except for North Carolina) they have not raised the reimbursement rates to SLPs in 13 years.

Record. Freaking. Profits.

I'm not sure what the justification is. But it's asinine that they act as if they can't pay SLP services properly while stuffing their faces (metaphorically).

The cuts are supposed to take place next year in February. There is a campaign going on over social media, as BCBS also has the audacity to turn around and publicly pat themselves on the back for "doing so much to help improve the lives of mothers and babies and promote early intervention".

Spread the word. This is horrendously unfair to SLPs and families.

A pour of Goose Island's 2012 Bourbon County Brand Stout on tap at Miller's Pub in Chicago. A 4 of 4. At 12 years old, this is honestly better than any other BCBS I've had over the years, I think. Super well-integrated, and tons of smoke, roast, oak, and bourbon throughout. A heavy-hitter at 15%, but sips easily and while complex, the flavors work perfectly together. Convinced me to seek out more older Goose Island if given the opportunity.

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan Building

I rode my bike by this public space at the Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan Building at 600 East Lafayette after stopping by Rivertown Market. This John Pappas sculpture was created in 1978 with 13 bronze figures set in a reflecting pool.

Soul and Maka tho 👀

I love them a normal amount. I wonder why I ship them. Gee, it couldn't be any number of these little things.

bickers like an old married couple, compares a partner exchange/breakup to infidelity. "Cool men don't cheat." literally the narrator: "Maka, and her partner and weapon, Soul Eater-"

dies for her. dies for her. dies for him.

bonus: breaks her fall

(this post keeps going, i'm putting the rest under a readmore)

Staying at the bedside while in recovery. The babies.

Couple's Therapy lmao

Domestic as all be.

Didn't have to have a special little dance to form a gameplan! Didn't have to dress up for it to enter the black room!

Trusted him to be her lifeline to pull her out of the depths of madness. So he pulled her out of the depths of madness.

"It's always there for me. This is my Soul Eater's soul!"

"The sound of his soul. All his emotions, they're flowing from him straight into me. What I'm sensing is…faith, and confidence. This is our foundation. This is our courage!" ok baby stop being so sappy ugh ♥I'm well aware synchronizing is essential to a solid resonance, but they went HARD on this. Soul went hard on this, to stand a chance in this fight. He did this for her.

THIS???? Saving him from certain death and/or madness?? She ventured literally DEEP inside his soul to bring him back from the brink.

If Soul's courage is for Maka, of course she'd have the key! PRECIOUS. Key to his heart chest! Yaaasss

Goes even deeper into his soul, to retrieve that petrified little piece of him he's locked away in the lockbox.

Because none of this is meaningful or intimate as heck, nooooope.

[bigcatbulges]

Having a mid sized body feels so alienating on the internet sometimes!!! I grew up my entire life being called fat so I assumed I was but now if I call myself fat people get mad at me??? Like I'm 280 pounds is that not big??? I feel like a lot of y'all mistake body positivity for body fetishization. Like if I post a pic of myself and talk about my belly I don't wanna hear someone talk about how it needs to be bigger or some shit like that
