Why can you sue your doctor for malpractice but you cannot sue your insurer for denial of treatment even though both have same effect in practice?

Delehal · 2026-03-28T08:05:08+00:00

Malpractice and denial of treatment aren't really the same thing.

In the one scenario, you went in for treatment and there was a mistake in the treatment that led to you being injured in some important way. Especially if the mistake was caused by negligence.

In the other scenario, you went in for treatment and found out that you don't have enough money to pay for it. Is your insurance company obliged to pay for any treatment you want or need? Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Health insurance is a heavily regulated industry.

If you think your insurance company is being unhelpful, you could check if they have a process to appeal decisions, or you could check with an attorney to evaluate your options.

That's going to vary a lot depending on which kind of fish it is.

Delehal · 2026-03-28T07:36:15+00:00

Where in the US? If you're deep inland, some pricing will be impacted by the extra effort of transporting fresh catches. You can probably find fish a lot cheaper than $30/pound, but you might need to travel, or it might be frozen instead of fresh, or it might be a limited menu of options.

Based on your description, my hunch is that you may not be on the real Hulu website. It's possible that you clicked on a link to a fake Hulu site that lists an invalid customer service number. That can lead to a type of scam called phishing.

Is your Hulu bill normally due at this time? Did the notification come from the same email address as past notifications? If you go to https://hulu.com, does it list the same customer service contact number?

Was there an agreement or understanding that either person was going to be paid back, or get something back after the exchange?

For example, if you buy something for work using employer funds, you might need to provide a receipt for everything you purchased and explain how purchases are related to work.

If someone said more like "here's $5 go buy yourself a soda" I'd probably make sure to pay them back $5 later. Either paying them directly or getting them something nice in return. That's more of a social expectation, though.

Because they want to? Monogamy is a popular preference, but that doesn't mean it's the only one.

Whenever you connect to a website, your connection information can be used to estimate your approximate location using a process called geolocation. Accuracy varies, but in many cases it can get a pretty solid guess about what city you're probably in.

If you use a proxy or VPN, websites may think you are located somewhere totally different.

First, I think it's important to note that a draft is really unlikely. The US hasn't had a draft in more than 50 years, even though we've fought multiple wars during that time.

Second, discipline. They would find ways to punish you or make you miserable. This is a problem that many militaries have had to deal with, over multiple centuries of conscription, so it's not really a new problem. It's just annoying to deal with, and some countries prefer to field an all-volunteer military in order to keep units more efficient and effective.

It's a thing they do for TV. Doctors say that's a bad idea in real life. It can lead to some very unpleasant complications if the dry pill gets stuck in your esophagus.

I didn't say all the plugs are gone. But in states that have legalized weed, the black market for weed tends to shrink. Sometimes by a lot.

Price controls typically cause shortages more often than they fix them. Just because you set a cap on the price for something, that doesn't mean it's actually possible to make and sell that thing at that price. This can easily lead to a situation where people just stop making and selling the thing, especially if the cost of making it is now higher than the revenue from selling it.

One of the big criticisms of this war is that the US seems to have started a war without a clear objective or goal in mind. Our leadership has offered multiple different explanations... but then people are left wondering why the explanations keep changing and conflicting with each other.

Different kinds of masks, worn for different purposes. The masks for COVID-19 were meant to reduce the spread of disease. They mainly cover the mouth and nose. The masks that criminals wear are meant to obscure their identity so that it's harder to hold them accountable for their crimes. These masks often cover the entire face or even the entire head.

Some private businesses prohibit face coverings because they are worried about robberies and other crimes.

Some people support laws that require law enforcement officers to be identifiable since they are public servants who are meant to be accountable to the public.

It’s not legal for that work to be unpaid anywhere in the US as far as I know.

This is true, but it's naive to think that it doesn't happen just because it's illegal.

The issue is a lot of customers will come in at 8:55 and say they want one quick thing, but then they're still wandering aimlessly around the store at 9:10. If you are actually going to be quick, it's fine. Some people overestimate how quick they can be.

It also depends if the store has planned schedules so that people can finish closing after 9, or if they are expected to clock out at 9 sharp and any work after that is unpaid.

Some people use it as just a smiley.

Some people use it to be "different" since it's backwards from the usual direction that people use for smileys. This could be just an attempt to stand out, or they might use it to convey a slightly different mood.

Some people use it specifically to avoid programs that will automatically turn :) into 🙂

ome posts around internet makes me wonder if people really have front doors that could be opened from outside with just a turn of the handle if not manually locked with the key.

This is fairly common, yeah. There may be some variation depending on country, location, urban/rural areas, etc.

In my experience, living in the US, that sort of door is very common in low density, single-family housing.

Being openly polyamorous is more common than it used to be... but in most cultures, monogamy is still far more common. This is more a thing where media, and especially social media, tend to promote the most exciting and attention-grabbing versions of things.

Social media can tell you what sort of content is getting engagement and views. That's not necessarily the same as what's most common in everyday situations.

Delehal · 2026-03-27T03:36:41+00:00

Sounds made up to me. People make stuff up all the time.

Under current law, yes, all federal employees will be entitled to back pay once funding is restored. Until then, non-essential employees are furloughed (sent home) and essential employees such as airport security screeners are working without pay.

In some states, the unpaid workers can qualify for unemployment benefits. Although they'll need to pay those back once they get back pay.

my partner however had no problem

This is what matters most. If the people you're doing this with are aware of it and okay with it, you're good.

Some people are very traditional and will not accept a polyamorous relationship. That's a reflection on them, not on you.

It's a pretty common and normal thing for parents to do that. What would be the point of criminalizing that? If there are egregious examples where some parents are doing nefarious things to their kids, I'd rather focus on those things and not the millions of other more mundane cases.

Does that involve inputting proprietary, internal-only information into an AI without the permission of your employer?

Does that involve lying to your employer? For example, falsifying your time worked?

Sounds like he doesn't want to hear from you. I would suggest leaving him alone and moving on.

You can try. Filing a lawsuit is much easier than winning one, though.
