Noah Berlatsky at Public Notice:

Kamala Harris’s choice of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate is, in some respects, a standard, safe choice. Like most of her potential picks, Walz is a white man. He’s a popular Democratic governor with deep roots in the party. He’s by no means an odd or risky selection. And yet, at the same time, Harris’s choice of Walz is unusual, exciting, and even inspirational. Over the last forty years, Democrats have generally used the VP pick to try to cater to centrist swing voters. Some of Harris’s leading choices, like Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro and Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly, were in that mode. Instead, Harris chose Walz — a candidate who has a good deal of potential bipartisan appeal, but who is also well-positioned to excite Democrats, and particularly progressives. As such, Walz’s rise is a promising indication that Harris plans to continue and expand upon the approach of President Biden, who’s embraced progressive ideas and legislation as a way to unify and inspire Democratic voters.

Walz as safe pick

It’s easy to make the case for Walz as a safe, sturdy, and conventional pick for VP. He served in the National Guard for 24 years; he’s now the vice presidential candidate with the longest military career. In 1996 he left the military to to work as a high school history teacher in Mankato, Minnesota. He ran for Congress in 2006, a strong year for Democrats, and defeated six-term Republican Gil Gutknecht. He held the rural district through 2010 and 2014 — two red wave years — and even held on in 2016, when Trump won the district by 15 points. In 2018, he ran for governor and won. He won a second term in 2022. This is an impressive record, and one that seems almost custom-made for a vice presidential resume. Walz’s military record should appeal to at least some conservative voters, who tend to value military service in candidates. His strong record in a rural Trump district also testifies to his ability to reach out to red voters.

On the other hand, Walz’s experience as a teacher should play well with educators — a core Democratic constituency — and with teacher’s unions. He’s also shown himself to be exceptionally skilled at attacking Republicans. After he called Republicans “weird” on MSNBC, Democrats as a whole seized on the word to define the abortion-hating, single-women hating, book-hating weirdos in the GOP.   Walz’s conventional qualifications and strengths have made him acceptable within, and popular with, the mainstream of the Democratic Party, as evidenced by the wave of enthusiasm from mainstream party leaders.

[...]

Walz Is a Biden Democrat

Walz isn’t a leading left voice in the party, like Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, or AOC. He’s a mainstream Democrat who has been (stunningly) successful in pushing mainstream progressive Democratic priorities in Minnesota. After 2022, when Democrats won a narrow majority in the state Senate and House, the legislators and Walz passed a paid family and medical leave bill, banned LGBT conversion therapy, legislated a carbon-free electric grid by 2040, and legalized cannabis. They also restored voting rights to people released from jail, mandated gun background checks, and put in place a free school lunch program for all students, regardless of income.

That record has made Walz a darling of progressives, who have enthusiastically boosted his candidacy. It’s also the kind of record that appeals to all Democrats and makes him look a lot like another leading Democratic figure — Joe Biden. Biden came into office with a record as a moderate compromiser. He was not the choice of most progressives or leftists, who would have preferred Sanders or Warren in the 2020 primary. But once in office, Biden embraced a range of popular progressive proposals. Despite Republican (and Supreme Court) resistance, he’s pushed through billions in student debt relief. He managed to pass a bipartisan gun control bill. He passed massive investments in green energy. His administration’s aggressive antitrust enforcement has reversed decades of Democratic timidity in the face of corporate consolidation. His pro-union policies have ignited a major labor renaissance. Obviously, progressives and the left have serious differences with Biden, most notably on his continued support for Israel’s right-wing government. On many issues, though, Biden has created a new blueprint for Democratic governance — one which builds on progressive ideas and energy to craft a powerful, popular agenda that the entire party can embrace.

Kamala Harris’s pick of Tim Walz is a shrewd and smart one to complete the ticket.

LETTERS FROM AN AMERICAN

July 19, 2024

HEATHER COX RICHARDSON

JUL 20, 2024

Today a Russian court sentenced 32-year-old Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich to 16 years in a high-security penal colony after convicting him of espionage in a secret three-day trial. The U.S. government considers Gershkovich “wrongly detained,” a rare designation signifying that he is being held as a political bargaining chip. 

Today, President Joe Biden said that Gershkovich was “targeted by the Russian government because he is a journalist and an American. We are pushing hard for Evan’s release and will continue to do so.” He added: “Journalism is not a crime. We will continue to stand strong for press freedom in Russia and worldwide, and stand against all those who seek to attack the press or target journalists.”

Last night, a faulty update of software from cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike crashed computer systems all over the world. Banks and hospitals were locked out of their own programs, and government services shut down. In the U.S., more than 2,600 flights were canceled and 9,000 were delayed. Bloomberg’s David Rovella quoted Australian security consultant Troy Hunt: “I don’t think it’s too early to call it,” Hunt said. “This will be the largest IT outage in history.”

Also making history last night was the final night of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the night on which former president Donald J. Trump accepted the party’s presidential nomination. Coming as it did just days after a would-be assassin took a shot at Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, killing one attendee and badly wounding two others, the convention was billed by Republican operatives as a way for Trump to rebrand himself as a candidate of “unity.” 

This was certainly the way many major newspapers billed Trump’s acceptance speech this morning, in stories that, as media journalist Parker Molloy noted, were probably based on prepared remarks delivered to news agencies in advance of the speech. But it was not how the evening played out.

Since Saturday’s shooting, it has been notable that there has not been a medical review of Trump’s injuries, although he has said he was injured by a bullet that ripped through his ear. This matters not only because of the extent of his injuries, but also because Trump has made the story part of his identity without any fact check, and the media appears simply to be letting it go on Trump’s say-so, something that adds to the sense that media outlets are treating Trump and Biden differently.

Last night, Trump perhaps tried to address this lack by recounting last Saturday’s shooting. Interestingly, he did not say he was hit by a bullet, but that when he felt the injury he thought, “it can only be a bullet.” Josh Marshall of Talking Points Memo today noted a report from local Pennsylvania television station WPXI that four motorcycle officers standing within feet of Trump suffered minor injuries from flying debris. Trump has likely cut off further discussion of the topic by saying it is too painful to tell the story again. 

With that story behind him, Trump hit the theme of unity, saying he would bring the country together. “The discord and division in our society must be healed, we must heal it quickly. We are bound together by a single fate, a single destiny,” he said. “We rise together. Or we fall apart…. I am running to be president for all of America, not half of America, because there is no victory in winning for half of America. So tonight, with faith and devotion, I proudly accept your nomination for president of the United States.”

But that was just in the first ten minutes. Then Trump ignored the teleprompter and things veered far off course, reflecting the candidate that has stayed in the safe spaces of Mar-a-Lago and rallies of his loyalists for years. Trump rambled for more than 90 minutes, making it the longest acceptance speech in U.S. history and outlasting the interest of the audience, some of whom fell asleep. 

He went on to recite his usual litany of lies: that Democrats cheated in the 2020 presidential election (they did not), that crime is going up (it’s plummeting), that inflation is the worst we’ve ever had (it’s around 3%; the worst was around 23%), that Democrats want to quadruple people’s taxes (CNN fact checker Daniel Dale calls this “imaginary”), and so on. Dale called it “a remarkably dishonest acceptance speech.” 

Journalist James Fallows posted: “Of the maybe 10,000 political speeches I've heard over the years, this was overall the worst.” Statistician Nate Silver’s judgment was harsher, in a way: he began with “It’s a weird but a pretty good speech,” then posted “Semi-retract this tweet, this speech is boring AF, but there are worse things politically speaking than being boring.” Shortly after, came: “Fully RETRACT and RESCIND, sometimes it seems like both parties are trying to throw this election.” 

MSNBC’s Chris Hayes watched the unhinged speech and concluded: "This is not a colossus, this is not the big bad wolf, this is not a vigorous and incredibly deft political communicator. This is an old man in decline who's been doing the same schtick for a very long time and it's really wearing thin."

The point, though, as Trump meandered through attacks on immigrants and a diatribe about the fictional character cannibal Hannibal Lecter—who he might think was real—as it always has been, was to present a picture of the U.S. under siege by enemies who are persecuting him because he represents true Americans and that he must be returned to office because only he can vanquish those enemies. Greg Sargent of The New Republic noted that Trump cannot offer a “unity” message because “Trump himself knows the MAGA masses will not be satiated without expansive displays of rage, cruelty and sadism directed at hated out groups and designated enemies of MAGA.”

For years, observers have noted that Trump’s approach to politics is patterned on the “kayfabe” at the heart of professional wrestling. Kayfabe is the performance aspect of professional wrestling, in which the actors play out relationships and scenes in which there are good and evil, love and hate, loyalty and betrayal. According to journalist Abraham Josephine Reisman, in old-school kayfabe the actors never let their masks slip, and while the audience knew what they were seeing must be fake, they played along with the illusion.

But in the 1990s, the barrier between reality and illusion blurred as wrestlers and promoters tried to increase the viability of the fading industry by tossing reality into the performances: real-life insults—the more outrageous the better—and real-life events. Decoding what was real and what was not drove engagement until in 1999, an estimated 18% of Americans, about 50 million people, called themselves fans. This “neokayfabe,” Reisman wrote in the New York Times in 2023, “rests on a slippery, ever-wobbling jumble of truths, half-truths, and outright falsehoods, all delivered with the utmost passion and commitment.” 

Neokayfabe, Reisman wrote, “turns the world into a hall of mirrors from which it is nearly impossible to escape. It rots the mind and eats the soul.”

Trump participated in a storyline in this neokayfabe with World Wrestling Entertainment owner Vince McMahon in 2007, in part billed as a battle over hair. Eventually he was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, and many observers have made the link between neokayfabe and his approach to politics. Indeed, he even blended the two explicitly when he chose McMahon’s wife, Linda, to head the U.S. Small Business Administration during his presidency.  

Neokayfabe and politics came together again last night at the Republican National Convention, as Linda McMahon, wrestler Hulk Hogan, and musician Kid Rock, whose music has been featured at wrestling events and who is also a member of the WWE Hall of Fame, all participated. 

“So all you criminals, all you lowlifes, all you scumbags…. Whatcha gonna do when Donald Trump and all the Trumpamaniacs run wild on you, brother?!" Hogan yelled to wild applause after ripping off his shirt to show a Trump-Vance shirt. Like the other performers at the convention, he painted a portrait of Trump’s presidency, and of the United States since Trump left office, that was a fantasy of good and evil. Hogan reinforced that there was no way Trump was going to reach toward unity in Milwaukee. His approach to the world cannot be moderated. It depends on the idea that there are two teams in the performance and one must vanquish the other.

Part of that storyline requires rewriting not just the recent past, but our history. At the convention last night, Donald Trump Jr.’s fiancée, Kimberly Guilfoyle, said: “It is no wonder that the heroes who stormed the beaches of Normandy and faced down communism sadly say they don’t recognize our country anymore.” But the Allied soldiers in World War II were not fighting communism. They were fighting fascism. The three great Allied powers were Great Britain, the United States, and the communist Soviet Union. 

It might be that Guilfoyle misspoke, or that she doesn’t know even the most basic facts of our history. Or it might be that by rewriting that history to put America on the side of the fascists, people like Guilfoyle hope to make that alliance more palatable to MAGA followers today.

Published: Sep 13, 2023

On August 25, Texas judge Maria Cantú Hexsel temporarily blocked Senate Bill 14, which limits sex-trait modification procedures—euphemistically called “gender-affirming care”—to adults only. In her decision, Hexsel stated that the law “interferes with Texas families’ private decisions and strips Texas parents . . . of the right to seek, direct, and provide medical care for their children.” In response, the Texas attorney general’s office swiftly filed an appeal with the state’s Supreme Court to halt Hexsel’s injunction, highlighting the “unproven” nature of pediatric sex-trait modification procedures being “pushed by some activists in the medical and psychiatric professions.”

Weeks before the hearing, the Texas attorney general’s office had asked me to serve as an expert witness on the biology of sex. It invited me to respond to a series of false and perplexing assertions made by the plaintiff’s three expert witnesses—including the premise that a person’s sex is comprised of many traits, among them chromosomes, hormones, internal reproductive organs, genitalia, and secondary sexual characteristics, as well as one’s “gender identity.”

In the scientific understanding of sex, only one trait—the type of gamete (i.e., sperm or ova) that someone can, will, or would produce—defines male or female. This is true not only for humans but also for all plants and animals. The other traits mentioned by the plaintiffs’ experts, while related to one’s sex, do not define it. Moreover, the push to include “gender identity” as a defining aspect of being male or female represents an extreme departure from empirical reality in service of a pseudoscientific outlook designed to validate the feelings of people who experience discomfort with their bodies.

Traveling to Austin and appearing before a judge to explain these basic facts was a surreal experience. To my knowledge, this was the first time a biologist has been called to testify in court to defend the material existence of males and females as natural and distinct biological categories. Yet, this isn’t the first time that core principles of biology have been put on trial.

In the 2005 case Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District, plaintiffs contested a Pennsylvania school district’s policy that mandated teaching the religious concept of Intelligent Design (ID) alongside evolution in biology class. Biologists were summoned to defend the extensive evidence supporting evolution and explain how ID does not meet the fundamental standards of the scientific method: ID is unfalsifiable and relies on supernatural explanations that fall outside the purview of science.

The Kitzmiller case fascinated me, and I followed it closely. In fact, it inspired me to pursue a career as an evolutionary biologist. Over the years, I’ve engaged in debates with numerous creationists and ID supporters. While I didn’t realize it then, confronting these faith-based arguments against the reality of evolution equipped me to handle the current wave of popular anti-science sentiment around the denial of biological sex. Strikingly, the arguments made by sex denialists often mirror those presented by creationists and ID proponents.

In addition to being glaring instances of metaphysics parading as science, both ID and sex denialism rely on a similar “argument from complexity” designed to stun audiences into adopting their perspectives. ID advocates, for instance, contend that biological systems and features are “irreducibly complex,” meaning that they couldn’t have emerged from gradual, unguided processes like natural selection and random mutation and must therefore have been directed by a supernatural “designer” (i.e., God). In a similar vein, gender activists argue that biological sex is so complex and irreducible to any single trait that all efforts to classify individuals as male or female are futile, and people should therefore be allowed to identify as any sex they like.

While both arguments highlight genuine complexities within biology, they misconstrue the actual scientific understanding. In the Kitzmiller case, the presiding judge, a Christian appointed in 2002 by President George W. Bush, saw through the ruse and ruled against teaching ID as science, stating that “ID is a religious view . . . and not a scientific theory.” The denial of biological sex is no different, and its societal impacts are more pervasive and harmful than the denial of evolution.

However, in a twist I could not have anticipated, the same colleagues who once applauded my efforts to defend evolution against creationism and ID now condemn me for challenging the new sex pseudoscience. Evidently, scientists are not the impassive, Spock-like figures that both society and many scientists themselves perceive them to be. They, too, can get wrapped up in ideological and political trends.

Defending the binary nature of sex in court will become increasingly important as more states consider implementing age restrictions on hormonal and surgical sex-trait modification. This is because the depiction of sex as a haphazard collection of sex-related traits—instead of being tied to reproductive function—forms a central tenet of gender ideology. If one determines a person’s sex by tallying various traits, which can range from male-typical to female-typical, it follows that hormonal or surgical modifications can literally shift one’s physical sex along this perceived spectrum to align with that person’s internal “gender identity.” If, however, a person’s sex is immutable, then such interventions lack empirical justification

After I was sworn in and presented my credentials as an expert on the biology of sex, the plaintiff’s lawyers objected that they didn’t understand “the relevance of this witness.” I don’t think they were being insincere: I believe they really did not understand the relevance of natural science to the debate over how to help kids who feel alienated from their bodies. And that, of course, is exactly the problem.

Our Constitution guarantees all Americans the right to direct their lives according to their faith—whether that faith is about a revelation on Mt. Sinai or about sex as a spectrum or about the existence of gendered souls. The Constitution does not, however, immunize doctors from scientific criticism when their own beliefs clash with empirical fact and lead to medical harm. It is essential that scientists find the courage to defend the principles of rationalism and empiricism in the court of law as well as in the court of public opinion to help guide medicine, and our society, back to reality.

==

Another striking similarity is that both ID and gender ideology insist simultaneously that they are scientific - despite being unverifiable and unfalsifiable - and that science only rejects their claims due to intolerance and bigotry.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) today took action against a medical debt collector, Commonwealth Financial Systems, for illegally trying to collect unverified medical debts after consumers disputed the validity of the debts. Under the order issued today, the company will cease operations and pay a $95,000 penalty to the CFPB’s victims relief fund.

Commonwealth Financial Systems is a nonbank corporation with its principal place of business in Dickson City, Pennsylvania. Commonwealth is a third-party debt collector that specializes in the collection of past-due medical debts and furnishes information about consumer collection accounts to consumer reporting companies.

Commonwealth’s actions violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act because the company failed to conduct reasonable investigations of disputed debts and failed to inform consumer reporting companies that certain information was being disputed. Commonwealth also violated the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act because it continued to attempt to collect disputed debts without substantiating documentation.

Enforcement Action

Under the Consumer Financial Protection Act, the CFPB has the authority to take action against entities violating consumer financial protection laws, including the Fair Credit Reporting Act and Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Under the CFPB’s order, Commonwealth must:

Shut down permanently: Commonwealth is banned from participating in or assisting others in any debt collection activities, debt buying, debt selling, and consumer reporting activities.

Tell consumer reporting companies to delete all information: Commonwealth must request all consumer reporting companies to whom it previously furnished information about any consumer to delete all collection accounts for such consumers.

Pay a $95,000 fine: Commonwealth will pay a $95,000 penalty to the CFPB’s victims relief fund.

Read today’s order.

Tens of millions of people are pursued by debt collectors for medical bills, and the CFPB has described the significant evidence, including reports from consumers themselves, that the collection, furnishing, and reporting of medical bills is plagued by inaccuracies. Accordingly, the CFPB has taken numerous actions on the issue of medical debt. In November, the CFPB issued a report highlighting the challenges American families face when debt collectors pursue allegedly unpaid medical bills. In September, the agency kicked off a rulemaking to remove medical debt from credit reports. Along with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the U.S. Department of Treasury, the CFPB launched, in June, an inquiry into costly credit cards and loans pushed onto patients to pay for health care costs. Also in June, the CFPB took an enforcement action against Phoenix Financial Services for illegal medical debt collection and credit reporting practices.

Read about the CFPB’s rulemaking to remove medical tradelines from consumer reports.

Read about the CFPB’s other work to stop unfair medical debt collection and coercive consumer reporting practices.

Consumers can submit complaints about financial products and services by visiting the CFPB’s website or by calling (855) 411-CFPB (2372).

Employees who believe their companies have violated federal consumer financial protection laws are encouraged to send information about what they know to whistleblower@cfpb.gov. To learn more about reporting potential industry misconduct, visit the CFPB’s website.

Here is the program/office for the UPMC hospital system:

Determination of Assistance Amount

In determining a reasonable and fair level of assistance, UPMC applies a sliding scale.

If a patient's income is below 400 percent of the federal poverty guidelines, the patient may receive some form of Financial Assistance.

If a patient's income is at or below 300 percent of the federal poverty guidelines:

The patient is eligible for 100 percent financial assistance.

The fees for UPMC services are completely waived.

If a patient's income is between 301 and 400 percent of the federal poverty guidelines and they are uninsured:

The patient responsibility will be reduced to the current amount generally billed (AGB)

UPMC will not charge an eligible individual for emergency or other medically necessary services more than the amount generally billed (AGB) to individuals who have insurance covering such care.

In some cases, UPMC may recognize other financial or medical conditions that warrant Financial Assistance. If a patient's income falls outside the guidelines listed above, please contact UPMC's Financial Assistance Department at 1-800-371-8359 option 2in order to review the circumstances. In any case, UPMC staff may be able to help establish a payment plan that helps patients pay their balance over time.

Exclusions

While UPMC's Financial Assistance Program covers most services, there are some exclusions, such as, but not limited to:

Cosmetic services

Transplant-related services

Bariatric-related services

Elective reproductive services

Acupuncture

Private duty nursing

Dental services

Services deemed noncovered by Medicare

Other services, at UPMC's discretion

Financial Assistance is not typically available for:

People who fail to reasonably comply with insurance requirements, such as obtaining authorizations or referrals

In addition, this policy does not apply to international patients who come to Pennsylvania in order to seek treatment from a UPMC provider.

I feel like I should make a post about this because it’s not something that’s very well-known, and that Americans in particular may need to know about given the uncertain state of our healthcare system at the moment. I’ve wanted to write this out for a while, It’s kind of a long post, so sorry about that!

If you have an emergency and have to go to the hospital, you’ll owe the hospital a lot of money. (I got into a car wreck and broke my ankle and my arm. My hospital bill was around $20,000)

You’ll also owe the ambulance provider, if you need one. (My ambulance bill was about $800)

You may get separate bills from the anesthesiologist or surgeon. (My anesthesiologist bill was $1,700)

You may need follow-up appointments. (My orthopedic surgeon billed me for the appointments and his surgery together and it was about $1,000)

You’ve also got to pay for medical equipment you need afterward, like crutches or a walking boot. (Mine cost about $75)

Altogether, I ended up with almost $24,000 in medical debt from one car accident. That’s a really scary number for someone like me who makes $10/hr at a 12 hour a week job.

I got my debt down to $1075 by making some phone calls and submitting some paperwork.

The first thing I did was contact the hospital. They don’t make it easy to find, but many hospitals (perhaps most hospitals?) have financial assistance programs for people who can’t afford medical bills. I don’t make a lot of money, and I have bills to pay, so they were able to help me. I called the billing department and asked if they had any assistance programs for low income people who can’t pay their bills. I had to call multiple times, and I got transferred in circles by people who didn’t know what I was talking about. Finally, I got an appointment with someone in “Eligibility Services” (I don’t know what other hospitals call it, if it’s something different). I had to bring my pay stubs and copies of all of my bills. When I got to the hospital for the appointment, nobody knew what I was talking about so I had to wander a little to find where I needed to go. I spoke with the guy in Eligibility Services, and I waited for a decision on how much of the bill they would forgive. A month later, I got a call telling me it was totally forgiven.

I did the same thing for my ambulance bill and my anesthesiologist, but the process was a LOT easier. I just had to mail some paperwork and it was totally forgiven.

I didn’t bother with the medical equipment suppliers, since the bills came from separate companies and I didn’t feel like going through the process twice for $75. I was assured at the hospital that they had similar programs for debt forgiveness, so I could have probably avoided paying that too.

The only thing I couldn’t get taken care of was the surgeon/follow-up appointment cost, but they were able to put me on a no-interest payment plan.

Medical debt is scary because it’s something that can come from stuff that’s already really scary. I didn’t need the burden of $24,000 in debt on top of trying to get around on a crutch with a broken arm (it’s not easy, believe me!).. but I can’t imagine what it would be like with a bigger debt or a more severe medical emergency. I see lots of people in even worse trouble than I was in, both financially and medically. Please know that there are options for you when that GoFundMe doesn’t do enough. Even if your income is higher than mine, it’s worth a shot even for partial debt forgiveness.

Why Choose a Reading Car Accident Lawyer for Your Case.

Understanding the Importance of Expert Legal Representation

If you've recently experienced a car accident in Pennsylvania, particularly in Reading, you know how challenging it can be to navigate the aftermath. Many of my clients come to me unsure of their next steps and uncertain of who they can trust with their case. From dealing with insurance adjusters to understanding the legal implications of your accident, choosing an experienced Reading car accident lawyer is crucial. Not only do these attorneys provide guidance, but they also offer the support you need to pursue the compensation you deserve.

The Benefit of Hiring a Specialized Reading Car Accident Lawyer

In my experience, a lawyer specializing in car accident cases understands the complexities of Pennsylvania’s traffic laws, as well as the procedures for negotiating with insurance companies. If you're involved in a serious accident, you need someone who can look into every detail of the crash, gather necessary evidence, and work diligently to build a strong case. Whether it’s securing compensation for medical bills or lost wages, a skilled attorney will ensure your rights are upheld every step of the way.

Why Munley Law Stands Out for Personal Injury Cases

Among the many legal firms in Pennsylvania, Munley Law Personal Injury Attorneys has developed a solid reputation as a leader in personal injury law. With over 65 years of experience in the field, Munley Law has a unique approach that goes beyond typical legal services, especially when it comes to serious car accident cases. They work closely with experts, including medical professionals, economists, and accident reconstructionists, which is essential for clients seeking a comprehensive understanding of their case and the best possible outcome.

Their Expertise in Truck and Vehicle Accidents

Munley Law is nationally recognized for handling truck accidents, which require a distinct set of skills due to the intricacies of commercial trucking laws. If you've been involved in a crash with a garbage truck, FedEx truck, or any commercial vehicle, this firm is particularly experienced in holding large companies accountable. The attorneys at Munley Law work extensively to gather evidence, build a solid case, and, if necessary, take on powerful trucking companies to secure the best result for their clients. This kind of dedication is rare, and it’s one of the reasons I recommend them for these complex cases.

Handling Sensitive Wrongful Death Claims

Losing a loved one in an accident is incredibly painful, and pursuing a wrongful death claim can feel overwhelming. Munley Law’s compassionate and professional approach helps families cope with the legal side of their tragedy. They handle these cases with utmost respect, focusing on securing financial support for funeral expenses, lost future income, and other critical needs that can lessen the financial burden.

Munley Law’s Comprehensive Approach to Medical Malpractice Cases

Medical malpractice cases are some of the most challenging to prove due to their technical nature and the requirement for expert testimonies. Whether it’s a cancer misdiagnosis or a surgical error, Munley Law has built a reputation for thorough investigation and relentless pursuit of justice in such cases. They have a skilled team adept at scrutinizing medical records, consulting with medical experts, and building a case that supports victims’ claims. This approach ensures that clients receive fair compensation for the physical and emotional harm caused by medical negligence.

Workers’ Compensation Support from Munley Law

In cases of workplace injury, employees often face pressure to return to work prematurely or may find it challenging to access their rightful benefits. Munley Law takes on workers' compensation cases to make sure injured employees aren’t taken advantage of. Their lawyers work to ensure that clients’ bills are covered, that there’s no push to resume work before full recovery, and that any future needs arising from the injury are adequately addressed.

Protecting Clients in Product Liability and Premises Liability Cases

Product liability cases require legal teams to hold manufacturers accountable for unsafe products, which is an area Munley Law excels in. Their team scrutinizes defective designs, flawed manufacturing processes, and other issues to build a case against manufacturers. For premises liability cases, whether a slip-and-fall incident or a dog bite, Munley Law holds property owners accountable for preventable injuries on their property, helping clients secure compensation for medical expenses, lost income, and more.

No Fee Unless They Win: A Risk-Free Commitment

One of the strongest aspects of Munley Law’s service is their "no fee unless you win" policy. This contingency arrangement is particularly valuable for clients who are already under financial strain following an accident. With Munley Law, clients pay nothing unless the firm wins their case, ensuring accessible legal support without adding financial pressure.

Legal Support Across Pennsylvania and Beyond

Munley Law’s reach extends throughout Pennsylvania, including in Reading, Bethlehem, Bensalem, Scranton, and Hazleton. Beyond state lines, their attorneys provide nationwide support for trucking accident cases. This wide-ranging support ensures clients have experienced legal representation wherever they are located, and they will even meet clients who cannot travel due to injuries.

Conclusion: Choose Munley Law for Reliable, Experienced Representation

Selecting a qualified attorney after a serious accident can make all the difference in the outcome of your case. With decades of experience, a compassionate approach, and a commitment to winning fair compensation, Munley Law has proven its effectiveness and reliability in personal injury cases. Their extensive resources and specialized expertise make them a valuable choice for anyone seeking justice after an accident.

How Pennie Health Insurance Handles Emergency Care?

Emergency care is a critical aspect of health insurance, as unexpected medical situations can arise at any time. Pennie, Pennsylvania's health insurance marketplace, offers comprehensive coverage for emergency services as mandated by the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Whether you're facing a medical emergency in Pennsylvania or while traveling, understanding how Pennie handles emergency care is crucial for ensuring you receive the necessary treatment without facing unexpected financial burdens. Here’s a breakdown of how Pennie Health Insurance manages emergency care.

What Constitutes an Emergency?

Under Pennie health insurance plans, an emergency is typically defined as a sudden, unexpected medical condition or injury that requires immediate medical attention. Emergencies can include:

Severe chest pain or heart attack

Stroke

Broken bones

Severe allergic reactions

Difficulty breathing

Uncontrollable bleeding

Severe burns

If you or a family member experience symptoms or an injury that you believe is life-threatening, you should seek emergency medical attention without hesitation.

Emergency Room Visits and Coverage

All Pennie health insurance plans are required to cover emergency room visits as part of their essential health benefits, regardless of whether the hospital or provider is in-network or out-of-network. Key aspects of emergency room care include:

In-Network and Out-of-Network Care: Pennie plans must provide coverage for emergency services even if the provider or hospital is outside the plan’s network. This ensures that you receive the necessary care without worrying about whether the facility is in-network.

Prior Authorization Not Required: You do not need prior authorization or pre-approval from your insurance company to visit an emergency room. This eliminates the risk of coverage being denied because you didn’t get approval first.

Coverage Protections: The ACA includes protections to prevent "balance billing" in emergencies. This means that while you may still have to pay your plan’s standard copays or deductibles, you won’t be charged exorbitant out-of-network rates for emergency services.

Costs Associated with Emergency Care

While emergency services are covered, it's important to understand the potential costs. Most Pennie plans have cost-sharing components, such as copayments, coinsurance, and deductibles, that apply to emergency care. Here’s what to expect:

Copayments: Many health plans charge a flat fee for emergency room visits. This fee is typically higher than for regular doctor visits or urgent care services but helps offset the overall cost of emergency care.

Coinsurance: After meeting your plan’s deductible, you may be responsible for a percentage of the cost of emergency care through coinsurance. For example, if your coinsurance rate is 20%, you would pay 20% of the total bill, while your insurer covers the remaining 80%.

Deductibles: Before your insurance begins paying its share of the costs, you may need to meet your deductible—a predetermined amount you must pay out of pocket each year. Emergency room visits typically count toward your deductible.

Post-Emergency Care

After receiving emergency care, follow-up visits with specialists, primary care doctors, or additional treatment may be necessary. It's essential to follow your health plan’s guidelines for post-emergency care, as costs for non-emergency services may differ. For example:

In-Network Providers: Be sure to use in-network providers for any follow-up care to avoid higher costs. If your emergency care leads to hospitalization, ensure that you coordinate with your health plan to use in-network services whenever possible.

Out-of-Network Follow-Up: If the emergency requires care from an out-of-network provider, be mindful that future visits to the same provider may result in higher out-of-pocket costs, as they may not be covered under the same emergency protections.

Traveling Out of State or Abroad

Pennie health insurance also covers emergency services if you’re traveling out of state or even abroad. The same rules apply, where the insurer is required to cover emergency care regardless of whether the provider is in-network.

Conclusion

Pennie health insurance ensures that emergency care is accessible and affordable by covering emergency services without requiring prior authorization and extending protections for both in-network and out-of-network providers. While there are still potential costs involved, such as copays, deductibles, and coinsurance, the protections in place help prevent unexpected financial burdens. Understanding how Pennie handles emergency care can provide peace of mind and ensure you know what to expect in a medical crisis.
