  • Patsies do the deed, the organizer collects the reward. It wouldn’t be a spectacle back in Iran, they would claim to have no knowledge lest there be retaliation, and also for that reason it wouldn’t be paid by the Iranian government, it would be paid by Iranian financiers and business people, backers of the Immamate, likely even by people living outside Iran, same people who are paying bounties to Hamas for killing Jews, for example, various Iranian-alligned “foundations”; might get some in gold, some in Bitcoin, some in various currencies, probably some even in USD. The person would hole up in some Iranian proxy state, and live out their days lavishly in like Qatar or something, maybe in Pakistan. It’s not like a free for all prize.

    Further, this kind of thing might be served ice cold, when nobody expects it. There’s still people trying to kill Salman Rushdie for Iran and his bounty is only $3 million and has stood for forty years. Iran doesn’t have elections every four years with foreign policy swinging around like monkeys from a tree like some fucking people I could mention, they play a long game.

    Fun question.





  • I mean, you can’t know for sure. Just suppose some usual shit, like it’s denied because she hasn’t met her deductable yet, or denied because the ambulance service and hospital are out of network. They can’t deny preexisting conditions anymore, and they just act as the primary payer even if there is a valid secondary layer, but they still have all kinds of denials.

    Their favorite is “not medically necessary.” It’s literally rationing care. A medical doctor who examined the patient already determined that it was necessary, and now some faceless doctor, hired only for their reputation as being insurance whore, is overriding the doctor, without examining the patient, and maybe not even being in the same speciality, sometimes they aren’t even doctors, but nurses. It’s absolutely crazy that they are allowed to do that.

    The whole system is a giant waste of money and time. Yeah, it produces value for shareholders, but that money comes from premiums people paid to get care when they need it and so any care needed but not provided is straight profit to the insurance company. It adds nothing to medical care or the health of the country, just value for shareholders.
