quote:Rollback attacks are often referred to as 51-percent attacks, because, in theory, they require an attacker to control a majority of the CPU power generating a blockchain. Such an arrangement violates a core requirement of any blockchain-based currency: it allows a single entity to write the contents of its universal, shared transaction history. Lmao

The boomers just can't let go. It's because of poo poo like this that research into immortality and anti-aging should be abandoned. Someday in the near future one generation is going to take power and never let it go until they are actually murdered.

A $20,243 bike crash: Zuckerberg hospital’s aggressive tactics leave patients with big bills I spent a year writing about ER bills. Zuckerberg San Francisco General has the most surprising billing practices I’ve seen. https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2019/1/7/18137967/er-bills-zuckerberg-san-francisco-general-hospital

"Zuckerberg San Francisco General (ZSFG), recently renamed for the Facebook founder after he donated $75 million, is the largest public hospital in San Francisco and the city’s only top-tier trauma center. But it doesn’t participate in the networks of any private health insurers — a surprise patients like Dang learn after assuming their coverage includes a trip to a large public ER. Most big hospital ERs negotiate prices for care with major health insurance providers and are considered “in-network.” Zuckerberg San Francisco General has not done that bargaining with private plans, making them “out-of-network.” That leaves many insured patients footing big bills."

I’m only surprised more hospitals don’t do likewise. ER patients are the perfect captive market.

If you're not (most people are not) then they just treat you without telling you that you hosed up by showing your face there, then pick an arbitrary large number and bill you for that amount. Your insurance nopes out and pays maybe 10% (or nothing) and then you get to squabble over how much you're actually willing/able to pay for the next few months/years. Presumably they have an extremely robust billing/collections department.

^^also, you can't even take the word of the actual hospital/doctor for granted that they accept your insurance because half the time they're not even sure who they're in network with. Insurance companies deliberately make it as obtuse as possible to figure out where you can get medical care so they can avoid payingVox Nihili posted:If you're on one of the public plans then you're typically OK.

Presumably they have an extremely robust billing/collections department. When I worked in the healthcare field a 50% collection rate was considered excellent. Unfortunately almost all the people actually paying for their healthcare are the poorest segment of society. Rich folks and insurance companies are extremely practiced at getting out of paying stuff, so they end up paying little-to-nothing. Since most companies collect so little of what they actually bill, they just reflexively raise prices every year to compensate, and voila here we are. Every medical provider I've worked for would be very happy with medicare-for-all - even though they pay far less than insurance company rates - for the simple reason that they actually pay you for providing services instead of sending of sending you through bureaucratic hell before deciding not to pay a year later.

that's one good thing about working for a big employer where all of the unionized employees are on basically the same health plan. all the doctors around here know what's up when they see your medical card.
