Dear Doug: name them.

Doug’s coms person. Brian usually writes a column like this when she promises she’ll use the vibrating strap on as a treat.

He doesn’t know where any of those places are.

Listen to learn rather than refute.

In totally unrelated news, it’s been reported that Ford will be adding a new wing onto his modest Muskoka retreat.

Perhaps I'm reading it wrong, but it seems from the way the article is written that the appeals went through both entities.

Regardless my point still stands, in the Canadian system, there is no 3rd party bureaucracy that stands between a Dr. ordering treatment, and the delivery of that treatment.

I see, but United HealthCare (a for-profit company) does do the administration of the program(s) as per the agreement of 2019, including medical claims processing, and utilization management, which would include the denial of Mr. Tennant's treatment, correct?

As long as those struggling communities are in Muskoka.

"...the Public Employees Insurance Agency of West Virginia, which partners with UnitedHealthcare..." When did United Healthcare become non-profit?

Of course it does. The difference is that to OHIP I'm not a profit centre. There is no additional layer of for profit bureaucracy between what my Dr. orders in terms of tests and/or treatments and the delivery of those test and/or treatments.

Again? Look can they just get on with it? It's a complete win/win/win:
1. Immediately solves the housing crisis
2. Free clothes, falling from the sky!
3. The removal of a bunch of assholes.

I got the cream of christ once... and now that fucking bastard never calls.

I started a Healthcare Infusion site for my northern Ontario community, trying to entice healthcare workers coming in from the US and abroad. It's next to impossible to compete with BC and the maritimes whose governments actually support incoming workers.

It's what the US culture is: the commodification of everything.

He was a profit centre for the insurance company, creating shareholder value. When he became ill, he turned into a cost centre, and cost centres have to be controlled or eliminated.

I don't think the Democrats have any intention of changing it. It runs deeper than just health care, the US culture is about commodifying everything, and that requires a much larger shift.

He went from being a profit centre, creating shareholder value, to being a cost centre that had to be contained, and thus he had no further value. It's the premise the entire US is built on.

The US version of christianity is a pedophile and death cult.

Because the alternatives are worse?

I will also walk across the diet cokes.

Because the American version of christianity is a pedophile/rape/death cult.

"Also, and just to let you know, I'll be re-asking this question on repeat, everyday beginning at 2:30 a.m."

To use the phrase of Jim Wright, "... all the self-awareness of a dog, licking its own asshole, while sitting in the middle of an intersection."

The US is a death cult.

In Canada there are strict rules governed by a non-partisan agency that limit the amount of money that any entity can contribute to a politician or party. The amounts are so low as to be mostly inconsequential.

They happily turned corporations into people, and reduced people into profit centres.

Your civil war never ended, it just got monetized.

That would require a level of self-awareness that I honestly don't think the US possesses.

100% this.
