Haiii helloo I'm a bit OOTL and I don't live in the States.

I hear this CFO got killed and that the health insurance company was exceptionally awful. But I don't understand the time limit on anesthesia part. What time limits? What's that about? Like "you only get anesthesia for the first day you're hospitalized" time limits?

Basically, BCBS was only going to reimburse the amount of anesthesia that government medical agencies estimate a procedure requires. So, an appendectomy is estimated to take an hour, but your surgery takes an hour and a half, then you're on the hook for the anesthetic costs for the last 30 minutes. There was a lot of backlash to that decision, and I guess they're taking backlash pretty seriously...for some reason.
