A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.
A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.
RULES:
1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.
2 No Trolling
3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.
4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.
5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.
6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' Tankie, etc.

There is an appeal system for cases like this. Like this specific case is an easy appeal, if they denied this after appeal then a lawsuit could take them to the bank.
Also, the Hospital won't discharge them even if it doesn't get paid on time.
Yeah, not like there's any urgency to the situation /s
A lawsuit isn't the same as your loved one surviving.
There is actually no urgency to this specific case. This patient will demonstrably not delay their own care for fear of debt.
debt is generally an option that is given (or at least available) to reduce the delay
This reeks of "are there no work houses?! are there no prisons?!"
Does the term "delay" ring any bells?
Less than a single percentage of denied claims get appealed, a lot of people apparently don't even know the option is available.
