  • Question from a non-American, can you choose your Health insurer, or is it decided by your employer?

    If you can freely choose, it would be great to have these denial/delay rates published, so people could vote with their feet to the company with the lowest denial rates and thus apply pressure to companies like this.

    Simplistic view, I know. Things are much different here thank goodness.











  • It’s a great step and worth celebrating. Hopefully it will encourage people to try PT and leave the car at home. Given the cost of living crisis I do hope it makes a difference.

    That said, I do think charging $1 instead of 50c would be better, and put on additional routes and services. I think that is one of the main barriers to people choosing PT in Brisbane, or more accurately, Brisbane’s suburbs. So I think success of this is going to be limited because some areas are just not well serviced and often take twice as long to reach their destination.






  • Spoken like a true middle manager :) I was one myself until a few years ago, I hated managing staff.

    The 5 day work week is a social construct anyway. Life for all would be better if we all had a little more leisure and time to relax, not to mention other benefits like reducing traffic and emissions. When people are well rested there is less mental health problems, road rage, and generally make clearer decisions. Burnout is a huge problem across the workforce, at all levels.
