Killing people is not the answer but somehow another Healthcare company backtracked on not covering anymore long anesthesia.

Perhaps n = 1 is too low of a value? We should research this field more, some people may die but it's a chance I'm willing to take

Although it should be noted that the anesthesia thing was dumb and bad. So maybe policy by mob justice isn’t a good thing.

the article cites a study that says: "5% of practitioners reported anesthesia times greater in total than what would be expected across university, community, and specialty hospitals. Furthermore, it was found that the greatest differences in expected anesthesia times were in specialty hospitals compared with university hospitals.8 However, the authors have stressed that their findings should not be interpreted to indicate fraud because fraud involves intent, which could not be determined. Because this study was a retrospective study, the authors could not rule out the alternative but unlikely explanation that the practitioners could be rounding down. The reason for caution by the authors is that the CMS has differentiated fraud from abuse by emphasizing that fraud is intentional, whereas abuse is the result of poor medical practices.2 This differentiation is important because sometimes the rounding in digits ending in 0 or 5 minutes in anesthesia time is part of the organization culture of operating rooms in which rounding is performed systematically by the operation room circulating nurse along with the anesthesia practitioner. Sun et al8 recognized this issue as being related to institutional factors, which was one of the reasons they performed a 2-step regression analysis; long anomalous times were not sufficient to establish inappropriate discretion.8"

So Anthem based on the article it might be overpaying for at worst 5% of the operations BUT the big but is that in some hospitals it is routine to round digits. So paying less workers for some rounding operations? It doesn't look as bad to me. It might be because of reasons, or might be due to media backslash.

I think it's safe to assume we definitely need more research into healthcare companies rules after healthcare companies ceo related killing

Well, in 1789 France, we killed people

It worked beautifully

Sarcasm acknowledged.

I agree with you. But if anything, politically, we are watching the pendulum swing in the opposite direction.

I worry that the future for the U.S. is the malaise that appears to have taken hold of the Russian people.

I find absolutist stances based on ideology distasteful. History has pretty vividly shown that sometimes killing people is in fact the answer. Something something Nuremburg trials.
