This stat is enraging: "A survey by the American Medical Association in 2024 found that 93% of patients reported delays in care due to the pre-authorization process, and 29% doctors said these delays led to adverse “serious” events such as hospitalization."

First time I took my then future spouse to Houston, we did a little self-guided Rushmore tour (while playing the soundtrack, of course)

Yes. But it also depends on how I'm doing. If I'm already having increased pain due to lack of sleep or for some other reason, then any amount is a bad idea. But if I'm feeling better, then I might be able to get away with a small amount

Editor should have been mad that we're paid so little, and often not until after the piece runs

I've concluded that it's not financially viable, especially if it's journalism. No, I do not want to report and write a 2,000 word story with multiple sources for $300.
