Patients don’t have much hope arguing with insurance companies but doctors do - they just have to be more aggressive than the average doctor.
First, they have to get through to a doctor on the insurer’s side - eventually, once you go up the claim management tree, these insurance companies leave the ultimate decision up to a doctor that they pay a shitload of money to have profitable medical opinions on their behalf.
Here is the thing: It is malpractice to diagnose and recommend treatment for a patient you have not evaluated, so the only valid medical opinion on the record is your physician’s medical opinion.
You just need a doctor on your side who will raise the stakes high enough to threaten their doctor’s medical license.
At that point, the insurance doctor will cave and approve the claim.
You still need a diagnosis and a treatment plan that is backed by medical science, of course.
Pretty sure Netflix has been doing this for overdubs for the last 2+ years. The actors mouths approximately match the overdubbed language, at least for English.
I think a promising way to defeat a giant for-profit corporation like Meta is by investing capital in many smaller non-profit corporations which can each focus more tightly on the fediverse while Meta spins off to focus on the next hype train a year from now.
Little non-profit companies can carve off small portions of the market for federated social media content and, if enough exist to carve it in small enough pieces, then giant corporations like Meta will focus on other markets that are less fragmented.
Sure, Meta might try to buy out the little guys and consolidate, but as long as the little guys keep investing in free and open source IP(not trademarked/copyrighted systems) there won't be much room for Meta to technically differentiate themselves in a meaningful way to most consumers.
Pretty sure flatbread predated leavened bread, so it’s reasonable to conclude tacos predated both hot dogs and sandwiches.
Conclusion: Hot dogs are tacos, sandwiches are broken tacos.
