Few patients appeal a health insurance denial, but a little-known process that requires insurers and plans to seek an independent opinion can force insurers to pay for what can be lifesaving treatment.

Here’s what experts say you need to know.

How to Fight Your Health Insurance Denial with an External Appeal

When a health insurer refuses to pay for your treatment, you may have the right to have the denial reviewed — and potentially overturned — by an independent provider. Here are six steps experts sugges...

BANNON told TRUMP if you break all the laws at once no one can stop us.
MILLER told TRUMP he could use the military in the USA and no one can stop us.
VANCE told THEIL that he could control Congress.
MUSK told TRUMP he could rig the election.
TRUMP told MAGA they were the true patriots.

LIARS lie.

Trump is weak and erratic. This time America is alone in their battle with China bc of Trump. China has Trump on the back foot, and he can’t do a thing about it. Increasing Chinese tariffs hurts the American economy.

Emanuel: China's basically found leverage; they're applying pressure, and they're doing it to soybean farmers. Our farmers have lost that market, are out a huge amount of money, and could see a lot of bankruptcies in the rural parts of the Midwest.

NEW: Trump meant to send a Truth Social DM to Pam Bondi about indicting his rivals. That sounds like official business, so I'm filing a FOIA for her DMs, plus those of five other cabinet members. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/my-latest-...

My Latest FOIA: Trump's Truth Social DMs

Recently, Trump posted a message to Pam Bondi that was meant to be a direct message. I want to know what other official messages he's sending to cabinet members.

I don’t understand how millions of Democratic voters allowed themselves to be suppressed/disenfranchised by Republican suppression schemes. Trump didn’t have the numbers after all, he won because millions of votes weren’t counted! They know how to do it now, so it’s going to happen again. 🤷‍♂️

Trump Lost. Vote Suppression Won.

I am aghast, livid, my jaw is still on the floor, because, before the 2024 election I was reading about voter suppression. I posted about those maggots that were empowered to challenge people on voter rolls. Afterwards, I didn’t hear or read anything about whether it was successful. Read this👇🤬🤬

Before 2024, I heard a lot about voter suppression. Afterwards, nothing. Did it work? Why did so many Democrats not vote? Well, turns out they did, but were sneakily not counted. Millions of them. Enough to change the outcome. TRUMP DID NOT WIN! Read this 👇🤬🤬

Just when you thought you knew almost all the types of scams out there, there’s a new one. It’s called “digital arrest”. So far it’s happening in India but it could come our way. It’s pretty intense, and an interesting read.

Inside India’s Scariest Scam — and How to Stop It

“Digital arrests” are bilking Indians out of millions, leaving trauma and distrust in their wake.

Steve Bannon is making it clear that Trump will run for a third term. Trump knows that already, which is why he had those Trump 2028 hats facing Jeffries and Schumer. It’s past trolling, Trump is telling us he’s going to run again, and fuck the Constitution.
