Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Okay, no. Anthem were looking to implement this in Connecticut, New York and Missouri, with Colorado and other states being brought into this policy later on.

Anthem has only backed off this policy in Connecticut. The other states are still currently on the table.

For like 5 seconds, then they'll try again. Just like Microsoft's windows 11 spyware.

Yep, so let's get to killing more billionaires.

Interesting. Kind of sounds like they are helping incentivize targeting health insurance execs. Clearly the execs there are actually afraid and are responding to that. They are basically saying they will only change things for the better when their lives are at risk. Not sure that was the message they wanted out there but that's how it came out.

I think, at this point, anything the health insurance companies do that actually looks good, will make us jump to that conclusion.

Don't trust anything they say. The writing is on the wall with these big corporations, and a lot of them have forgotten where the money comes from.

Eh, they took their shot; missed their mark. I’m sure they’ll keep trying though. Only a matter of time. They’ve got all the time in the world. Their “customers”, not so much.

Eh, they took their shot; missed their mark

Unlike other health insurance related news this week

Oh, that's not good enough. Far from it.
