Teachers across France staged a one-day walkout on Thursday to protest changing Covid testing rules that they say have disrupted classes and are now too lax to protect against the Omicron variant that is tearing across the nation.
Many teachers’ unions also planned protest marches, with one of the largest expected to start in Paris on Thursday afternoon.
Funny how we usually only hear about anti-mask and anti-vax protests in Europe.
Love the American healthcare system where I’m getting a colonoscopy, a totally routine procedure, and have no idea how much it will cost me until I get the bill because 1) I don’t know what medications or supplies will be administered during the procedure until they shoot me up and 2) I don’t know what the cost of those medications and supplies will be because the hospital’s prices and the insurance’s plan allowance are both secret
FUN FACT
AS OF THE NEW YEAR THIS SPECIFIC PRACTICE IS NOW ILLEGAL
CERTAIN SURPRISE MEDICAL BILLS FROM OUT OF NETWORK PROVIDERS ARE ILLEGAL AS OF LIKE LITERALLY LAST WEEK. LIKE THE THING YOU LITERALLY JUST DESCRIBED. ILLEGAL.
Regarding surgery, the anaesthesiologist specifically can no longer send you a separate bill if they’re out of network if your surgeon is in network!! You only pay your in network bills!!
It’s awesome and this is the biggest news in healthcare since Obamacare!!
