Washington Post gives AARP four Pinocchios. Organization misleads the public on budget choices and its own finances.
Car insurance for pets: Covers vet expenses related to auto accidents.
How to control health care costs: Better TV programs. (HT to Tyler Cowen)
Wrong-site surgery is a medical error that I have a hard time understanding. I would like to think that something as serious as surgery would require multiple checks.
I agree with Devon. It does not seem like wrong-site surgery should be such a common problem.
Only four Pinocchios? AARP deserves the max.
I liked the TV snippet. I think I have seen something like that before.
Sorry to see the wrong-site surgery item.
I like the TV post.
About denials: I’ve appealed a few times and had my claims approved. The trick is to handle the paperwork like an IRS agent and make sure you receive fax confirmations and/or post office delivery receipts.
About pet insurance: I had a friend whose dog was riding in the passenger seat when she got into a wreck. The dog survived, but she spent thousands trying to help it recover from its injuries. I can’t say that I would spend the same, but I also can’t say that I wouldn’t.
