How UnitedHealth’s Playbook for Limiting #MentalHealth Coverage Puts Countless Americans’ Treatment at Risk
—
United used an #algorithm system to identify #patients who it determined were getting too much #therapy and then limited coverage. It was deemed illegal in three states, but similar practices persist due to a patchwork of #regulation.

Americans' #Trust in #Media Remains at Trend Low
Trust in political and civic institutions highest for local and state #governments, lowest for media and #Congress

In an age of #fake news, #propaganda, #maga, #Twitter #bots and Russian #troll factories, we actually need trustworthy journalism. I must once again explicitly point out that the principle of "trust nobody" does not mean no longer believing official sources and only consuming unfiltered news from Russian-controlled #Telegram channels and basing your world view on them.
"Trust nobody but don't stop thinking - if you belive the earth is flat you are far beyond a border no one should pass!"

UN #Security Council to meet Monday over #Israel's strike on #Iran

“The Islamic Republic of Iran, in alignment with the principles enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations and under international law, reserves its inherent right to legal and legitimate response to these criminal attacks at the appropriate time,”...
I always ask myself whether these people are still capable of logical thinking? If this Israeli airstrike was criminal, what was the Iranian one? If the Iranian one was a justified retaliation in his way of thinking, why is the retaliation of the retaliation criminal? Why are such people tolerated in the #government?
