That should be illegal anyways.

literally been waiting 7 weeks to see a specialist. why? urgent care is no longer allowed to issue referrals, so they had to put me on antibiotics for 3 weeks just to maybe cover me till i could see my pcp.

see the pcp after waiting 2 weeks, they give me a referral, issued STAT.

see them again a week later cuz i havent heard anything, there was an issue and the insurance didnt get the request till that day .

oop insurance actually decides who im referred to and they take 2 more weeks to figure it out.

oop insurance accidentally had a glitch and dropped me for no reason so the whole process has to start over again, after a wait a week for them to fix their mistake.

smfh , lucky its not something worse. I THINK. IDK WHAT IT IS CUZ I HAVENT SEEN A SPECIALIST YET.

Yes! That's it! You nailed it bro!

“California lawmakers propose…”? Buddy, that’s an initiative, it can be proposed by literally anyone in the state.

[–] xor@lemmy.dbzer0.com 73 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

and it’s from a petition… i could make up a law called the “balls in your mouth” law, start a petition today, and fox will be promoting articles saying “california lawmakers want to put their balls in your mouth”.
(also, “balls in your mouth” is a kid rock song from when he used to be a detroit rapper with a flattop… people should not let him forget that he was very into black culture before he switched to white trash culture… also he was a literal pimp)

*edit, left out a key name.

[–] Hawke@lemmy.world 25 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I think you missed mentioning who “he” is there. Are you saying that Luigi Mangione was previously a Detroit rapper and a literal pimp?

[–] xor@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 1 day ago

while that is a funny prospect, no i meant kid rock

[–] takeda@lemm.ee 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I don't like that they use his name even though he didn't have trial yet and nothing was proven.

Won't attitude like this only hurt him?

He's done more to improve healthcare than most politicians.

[–] porous_grey_matter@lemmy.ml 20 points 1 day ago

Yes, we've all done more to improve healthcare than most politicians or insurance companies, given that they are actively making it worse

[–] surph_ninja@lemmy.world 60 points 1 day ago (2 children)

All of this progress with just one dead ceo. Imagine.

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 27 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 1 day ago

It wasn't even a drawn out broadcast torture fest either, it was a quick death, and it still made them scared as fuck.

[–] Asfalttikyntaja@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 day ago

Imagine what would ten dead ceos do.

[–] misteloct@lemmy.world 32 points 1 day ago

Hilarious especially given Luigi is literally innocent (until proven guilty). The name is pure trolling and we need more of this.

[–] lordkuri@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Good luck. They passed the timely access to care act and you can't actually use it because doctors and health systems ignore it, and your insurance will make you jump through so many hoops you'll feel like fucking Luigi before you're done.

[–] GreyEyedGhost@lemmy.ca 23 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I remember when he first became popular a lot of people felt like fucking Luigi.

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I think a lot of people still would. Dude is conventionally attractive, and i don't even like men

[–] GreyEyedGhost@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 day ago

People used to want to fuck Luigi. They still do.....

[–] JustAnotherKay@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I would let Luigi Depose me ngl

Luigi is a public servant.

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If not, I'd let him take a shot as one. If that works, I'd put him on full-time.

[–] gibmiser@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Well he already took a shot...

Question, why didn't they do this before?

[–] jaschen@lemm.ee 26 points 1 day ago

Because there was one too many billionaires. Want more done? Need less billionaires.

[–] duhbasser@lemm.ee 18 points 1 day ago

Because this is political theater but there’s also a lot of nuances that go into this type of thing. Should they have done something like this in the past, 100%…but this is also a result of the collective California population being so fed up with insurance companies that it forces politicians to do something. He’s a martyr no doubt but the health care situation continues to get worse so pushing something so “liberal” wasn’t going to happen previously.

Everytime you Luigi an oligarch you get a bill somewhere that will make something basic a human right.

[–] beliquititious@lemmy.blahaj.zone 47 points 1 day ago (2 children)

And it's a ballot initiative? Well played.

... and all it cost was one life

Meanwhile, the health industry is doing their best to protect what's there while costing the lives of thousands even millions of people to an early death or a terrible life of misery.

Its absurd they can deny you care or medicine for any reason outside your own doctor canceling it.

[–] dreadbeef@lemmy.dbzer0.com 35 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Section C talks about how if they want to delay or deny any medication/procedure that was recommended by a physician that in needs to be by another physician. There's already a loophole in place for this section which is that insurance companies hire loads of physicians to look at case files and determine if it should be denied or not. There is obviously a huge conflict of interest there, but that's how that works.

However, section D talks about how if they delay or deny anything, the insurance company has the burden of proof and would have to pay for any damages or legal fees in doing so. That part is HUGE! Accountability in the court for this bullshit!

section E makes decisions made by a non-physician also a felony, should be expanded to make influencing a physician to lie also a felony, protecting physicians employed by insurance company from reprisal.

St. Luigi Memorial Hospital

[–] laurelraven@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 day ago

I love it, but I'm a bit worried that using his name could make it harder to get enough people onboard... Not that it would be easy normally... But maybe I'm wrong, maybe he's more generally liked than I realize (outside of online spaces anyway)

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 19 points 1 day ago

Proposed. Hopefully, it goes somewhere.

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

oh no, how will the redditors know?

[–] LodeMike@lemmy.today 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Felony for the agent/person or the company?
