Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I really wonder exactly how many office towers are there full of people whose sole job is to deny healthcare claims. Think about if we paid those people to do something actually productive instead. This is the waste of for profit healthcare.
I saw a map on here how healthcare industry is like the the biggest employer in like 40 of the 50 states or something insane like that.
Healthcare, but not health insurance.
Anyway, if I had my druthers, I'd get together with a cabal of like-minded doctors, vote ourselves onto the state board, and revoke the license of any doctor working for health insurers. If the courts/cops had any balls, they'd then say any person or persons (and if it's a computer, then the entire c-suite) rejecting claims are practicing medicine without a license and put them all in jail.
At this point those departments are now a bunch of AI and algorithms. That way no pesky emotions or ethics get in the way.
TIHI.
Everything is so expensive so the people exploiting us can make more money.
Anyone telling you it's so the business can stay in business is a useful idiot.
