They use CareSource to be exact but it provides public health care programs including Medicaid, Medicare, and Marketplace. My wife works with a few people who do these kinds of things. They use ambulances like a personal taxi service. If they can get a dr to say the kid has a rash, they will get "prescribed" a few boxes of special diapers.

Yes, I think that was my original point. If I get duped, then it doesn't hurt me that much. But there's a lot of people who are on fixed incomes, or just not that bright, and this hurts them.

Well I know people who take ambulances to the hospital, and have the dr prescribe formula and diapers that way it can be covered by their medicare. But that's a different ballgame than employer insurance. I suppose there's a lot of different kinds of people out there.

I'm glad to hear things worked out for you. That's great, and hope you're still feeling better.

Yeah, it used to be just for televisions or other big purchases. But they're making so much money off of these things, it's creeping into smaller and smaller purchases. Unfortunately there are a lot of people who don't understand upselling, they're just excited about their new toothbrush.

It doesn't surprise me considering how much they charge for a monitor mount. But that's incredible people will pay that much for some bluetooth earbuds. They better be a platform or something more for that much...

Man, I guess I never looked at how much they are. It makes sense considering who they come from, but that is a lot for some bluetooth earbuds.

Yeah, I have no idea what they're talking about. I'm no fan of the insurance companies, but they can't just deny everything. It's definitely not the predominate experience most people are having with insurance.

Every insurance company I've had is upfront with their coverage, and covered it just fine. I've never had a major illness like cancer, maybe that is a next level situation that would require legal representation.

The big problem seems to be the soaring prices due to the fight between insurance companies and the hospitals. Depending on who you ask, you get a different opinion on who's fault it is.

Would you like to pay $20 for a protection plan on your new foot massager?

What makes me the most upset about these little games of chance companies want us to play, is how it takes advantage of certain demographics, like the elderly.

I find myself gasping for air when I've done telephone interviews in the past. It's obviously a nerves thing, but it happens even though I'm aware of why it's happening. I think best while I'm pacing, so it doesn't help.

I think the problem is that I don't assume people will be patient while listening to me. I don't have a loud speaking voice, so I'm probably right a lot of the time. So I race to the finish of everything I say. But it's probably just that I don't do it that much. If I was interviewing everyday I'm sure I'd work the kinks out.

I guess what I'm getting at is everything described in this article. The concept of ultra-conformity doesn't really resonate with the America.

There are other Oriental countries with a similar focus on putting the group before the individual. America has had a lot of influence on a lot of places, and certainly not all for the best, but how could America have influenced a place into a behaving a way that is completely foreign to America?

I'm going to break out my roller blades and watch Hackers this weekend.

I'm sure there's a number of factors, but the problem I've witnessed the most is the general break up of the home. Most often I've seen caused by a father being absent. There has been a measurable decline in the lives of men in our society.

I haven't seen Milligram yet, I'll check that out.

I've seen people include the full jquery just to select something by ID. But I guess it's hardly my worst horror story.

I'm curious why you think the Guardian is a company doing the right thing? I don't know much about them apart from being a news outlet, but it seems at least as biased as the rest of them.

One thing I've always wondered about these early hominins is whether there was a large enough variety in any of them that we find different races within a species.

Maybe that is a dumb question, or just complex to answer. I've just always wondered because some homo sapiens look wildly different from each other. I know it's because we've spread out so much, and had a long time to do so. But I read things about the denisovans being here or there for a very long span of time. It's hard to imagine that they didn't at least have occasional mutations that lead to interesting features.

Wow, that is an annoying website to visit. I would rather have downloaded a text file than wade through all of that.

The first ad takes up half of my screen, and then I had to see a fullscreen amazon preview. When I tried to click the cookie policy it thought I clicked an ad that led to a pop-up.

This definitely reads like something one of my professors would have written. Someone with a lot of good knowledge, but lacking some context for things you learn in the field.

> We can avoid jquery and bootstrap

Amen to that at least. Nothing bums me out more than someone using jquery just for a simple DOM selection, or having a simple layout and using bootstrap just because you know their columns.

If Amazon isn't willing to wait for the next round of licensing, and play the same rules, then I'd think that shows their intentions are to dominate the competition at whatever the cost.

This article, in general, renews my concerns over the space junk problem. It's depressing how much trash is already in orbit.

I met my wife on a dating app. She was my girlfriend in junior high and just happened to have gotten a divorce, and was starting to date again. So it worked for me :) Just try to find someone you've already had a relationship with.

Seriously though, I feel your pain. I had let the account lapse for months before I happened to get back on there and see that she had written me. Dating apps become a joke exponentially as you get older.

Don't let them make you feel bad about yourself. It was a little overboard in my opinion, I thought they were about to say you're a Nazi if you use Chrome.

Knowledge is power, just be aware of what is going on with your apps and make a judgement call for yourself. Lately I've been enjoying going to brick and mortar stores and don't go to Facebook at all. Who still uses Facebook? And if I end up seeing an ad, I don't let it ruin my day.

This is the kind of thing I always read, but have never seen. I don't doubt you, or Joe Rogan. I've just personally never seen an adult who takes just a couple puffs every once in awhile. In my experience, it is a lifestyle of playing video games and sitting around smoking, unless they are someone who also uses other drugs and/or drinks a lot.

It may be anecdotal, but that is the reason it concerns me. It doesn't appear to be a positive for the numerous people I've known.

Oh, don't get me started on that. Not just ADHD, but antidepressants and anxiety medication as well. Of course there are people with legitimate needs, and boys who truly can't pay attention, but the over-prescription of these medications is negatively effecting way too many people.

Not working on your issues, and just masking them with a chemical should be a short term solution. These drugs are worse in my opinion, and I could ramble for a long time on my reasons.

The money they cost and dr's never having an exit strategy for the patient, are my biggest concerns. I've never heard of a dr informing a patient on how difficult getting off these things are. Presumably because they want you to take it forever, or they have no clue. And there are definitely too many boys who just don't get the attention they need, or have more energy than someone likes, so their behavior becomes a disease.

I drink sometimes, and have been known to do other things. But I feel like everyone should be striving for the ability to get through life without 'needing' chemicals. Sometimes people forget how wonderful you can feel when you are clean, eating right, and exercising. They start to think they are incomplete without some chemical. Of course we all fail at being perfect, but it's a goal worth struggling towards.

I'm definitely not trying to blame weed, if people can use it responsibly I say great! The problem is people who have conditions like anxiety who become dependent on it to get by. Some people become alcoholics because they have stuff going on that they can't deal with, and that doesn't mean I think alcohol should be illegal. But just like them, I wish the drug wasn't a numbing agent that prevents them from dealing with the underlying problem.

>Asking the government to get involved is the least productive thing anyone can do.

You win the Internet today as far as I'm concerned.

I wish our culture wasn't so focused on rebooting existing things. People should spend their time creating some new, in their image, and put it out into the world. The fight should be removing barriers for entry.

I broke an internet rule. I apoligize, as I was being sarcastic. I thought my comment was ridiculous enough for that to be obvious.
