So I was listening to Chapo Trap House and they were talking about "Federal Risk Corridors" where apparently the Federal gov't pays (is supposed to pay?) insurance companies a whole bunch of money to assume the risk of them setting up shop in places where there's been little-or-no healthcare ever, because the expectation is that once people who live in West Virginia get access to healthcare for the first time, that they'll suddenly use it a lot since they need it. It should drop off as preventative care kicks in, but in the meantime the Federal gov't needs to essentially bribe insurance companies to withstand the first wave.

Is this the part where there's currently a legal case about the companies demanding their money, and Obamacare is still in limbo and potential big trouble if the Sessions DOJ simply refuses to fight the case and fucks over the insurance companies?

They offered money, and then when they didn't get enough takers started volunteering people. United is poo poo.

My employer is the only insurer on the exchange in WV and has lost over $700m there due to exactly what you describe here.

They offered them 800 bucks and a hotel room.

Unfortunately that guy was a doctor and needed to do rotations the next day. so of course they brought in a knuckle dragger to brutalize him for the world to see.

Domestic first class is bullshit these days anyway. If you really want to enjoy flying, you gotta do it internationally, and this includes coach.

if you're on a 4+ hour flight it's not as bad because you're probably on a larger plane but yeah

and even int'l first class is loving awful at this point not because of the experience but the cost, and unless you go down the horrid rabbit hole of points abuse you aren't getting a decent award redemption

first class isn't really even "first" on some airlines

This is why we need to return to the era of strictly defined clothing by social class, these modern relaxed dress codes make it too easy to accidentally brutalize someone with the money to hold us accountable

I can't say I worked on "The Apartment," but I used to design the routing of wiring systems for aircraft in-flight entertainment. They're pretty much customized by each carrier for each type of plane they order. In the 2.5 years I did that I never once saw one for a US domestic carrier.
