CHICAGO – In an unprecedented move, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield plans representing Connecticut, New York and Missouri have unilaterally declared it will no longer pay for anesthesia care if the surgery or procedure goes beyond an arbitrary time limit, regardless of how long the surgical procedure takes. The American Society of Anesthesiologists calls on Anthem to reverse this proposal immediately.

    I’d love to know what he said, if not for the fucking mods removing every other god damned comment on this shithole website. Already looking for a new alternative.

        I shouldn’t have to do that. Or if they’re going to be available somewhere anyway they should simply provide the link to the log in the newly deleted comment.

        Moderation shouldn’t be anonymous either, we make cops wear badges with identification.

          That would defeat the point of removals.

          It’s also not anonymous, it’s just that the default interface only shows “mod”.

            Well, shit. I guess my point is that the only things worth removing are legitimate trolls and people completely off topic as opposed to “things the mods disagree with or don’t like”.

              With today’s news it’s looking like “things the mods/admins are afraid will get them sued”. Which I hate but I kinda get because it’s not like running a Lemmy instance is profitable.

            How do you change the default interface to name the moderator?

      For what it’s worth I use Sync and I can read all the removed comments other than the self deleted.

      I’d love to know what he said

      Basically, this, or this, with respect to a certain leadership position within a certain type of company. Given the major news event regarding an executive with the same title at a competitor’s company today, it wasn’t great.

        Damn I was right with you on avoiding censorship intelligently until the last two words. It was pretty great.
