• Welcome to the Internet Infidels Discussion Board.

Well... it's Trump... again. #47, here we go.

Shithead in Chief is giving the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Rudolph Giuliani.

To Recap:
  • Giuliani has been disbarred in New York and Washington for making false claims about the 2020 election
  • He was criminally charged in Arizona and Georgia for efforts to overturn the election
  • Had to pay $148 million in defamation judgement against him for lying about an election worker who had to endure death threats because of his lies.

Giuliani the pathological lair

This one's flying under the radar over the mountain of bullshit.

As usual every accusation is a confession with Republicans.

The Trump administration is piloting a new Medicare plan that would require patients to receive approval before undergoing medical procedures, which critics say will worsen health outcomes.

Medicare is the government’s insurance program for seniors aged 65 and over and also covers younger people with disabilities.

Prior authorization is similar to how private insurers operate, often resulting in a delay or denial of treatments. However, traditional Medicare plans typically require far less prior approval for procedures than private insurance. That allows older Americans to get surgeries and other procedures without having to jump through red tape before undergoing treatment.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services said the pilot, which is set to begin in January across six states, would “crush fraud, waste, and abuse.”

Under the plans, the federal government would hire private companies to use artificial intelligence to evaluate whether patients would be covered for procedures such as skin and tissue substitutes, electrical nerve stimulator implants and knee arthroscopy for knee osteoarthritis.

The agency said that final decisions of the services that do not meet Medicare coverage “will be made by licensed clinicians, not machines.”

Maybe he can sell the medal to pay back some of his legal debts?

Apparently old people aren't expected to need more health care than the average American. Fucking hell!

So the people on the pilot get a discount for getting less care when they need it?
 
Sokeone threw something out the second story window. Trump wasn't on site when it happened. White House says typical stuff. Those windows aren't really openable, I believe they have to be removed.

Regardless, no much to really ponder over on this.
