Not to mention, standard right wing playbook - make wild accusations, offering no proof, as if just repeating a thing enough times will make it true.

It’s actually a federal law that says appeals must receive an agency response within 90 days, not a state law, and they go as fast as they can.  So any state using managed care will tell you 90 days.  There are ways to get an expedited appeal, however.

I think the problem you’ll find is that the Democratic criminals generally just aren’t as amusing as the Republican ones. There are exceptions of course, Anthony Wiener comes to mind but let’s be honest half the joke there was his name.

See, that makes more sense. I’m biased, but I think it is probably sound economically for a large organization to take on risk and spread it among 1.8 million people as opposed to asking a much smaller business and having them hope that one out of a few thousand people doesn’t bring down the whole company through bad…

Flagged: delusional and incorrect use of grammar

I see.  In Medicaid it’s full-risk for the MCO, not the provider.

My Northern Illinois private Oncology practice. Full risk models are potentially suicide for oncologists. All it takes are a few people who need multi agent checkpoint inhibitor therapy, CAR-T, recombinant factor replacement, or just stem cell transplant and you are out of business.  God forbid you find somebody with…

Surfjan calls it immuno-hemoglobin in his statement so AV Club probably just went off that. They can barely run a spellcheck on their articles, you expect them to do a fact check on something?

More quality copyediting from the site that’s had “Poitrot” in a headline for nearly three days now.

It is his first album of new material since 2001

It was definitely one of those culture war footballs before it became nearly a yearly occurrence during the Trump years.  Its only gotten dumber with stuff like Barbie somehow becoming stuck with the culture war label.  Ghostbusters 2016 definitely feels like 2016 in all the bad ways.

Oh, but it wasn’t. A key difference (maybe the key difference?) between the two films is that the improv in the original was tight and didn’t meander at all.

Afterlife was to me a heartless nostalgia bait cash in that mishandled the passing of a key individual in ghastly fashion. In some ways I kinda look down harder on Afterlife then the 2016, and I aggressively don’t like either.

Ok my bad: Technically you’re right, the contracts were with a Disney owned production company that doesn’t actually exist anymore.

I think Disney changing the name of its own shows every couple of years during the show’s run to avoid paying people more money is rather different than Disney making a new Daredevil show years after the original, which wasn’t even a Disney production, ended.

Obligated? Obviously not.

Should they be “obligated” to treat the people who did return - Charlie Cox, Onfario, etc - as if this were a 4th season?

I think you’re missing the point. He’s not talking about himself. I know, weird! Everyone only talks about themselves, right? He’s talking about the practice in general and…

He’s probably talking about the actors’ contracts, not his. Ostensibly, Cox should be getting paid as if it’s season 4, not season 1.

It’s possible that while his complaint isn’t as much of a thing in this specific case, but he’s instead taking advantage of the attention being paid to Daredevil to shine a light on the practice in general.

That abortion thing was so weirdly written too. It clearly wasn’t a character making that decision according to their personality and beliefs as presented in the work, it just swerved in out of nowhere as authorial commentary. There was a similar random thing with Israel is the later comics, iirc.

Yeah. My circles are already chatting about how there are now going to be abortions for everyone who wants one! Also everyone is gay, trans, or both. It’s going to be beautiful.
