Earlier quoted context omitted.

It was also supposed to have Peter Sellers in it, but he twisted his ankle and couldn't do the role. Slim Pickens was the perfect choice for Maj. Kong; Sellers could not have pulled it off.

> Slim Pickens was the perfect choice for Maj. Kong; Sellers could not have pulled it off. I understand they never told him it was a comedy.

That is correct. It is really interesting to see his interpretation of the character - to me it is the best and most humourous of the entire movie.

It's appropriate to pick on UHC here but a lot of this insanity derives from rulemaking by Health & Human Services and Center for Medicare/Medicaid Services with a healthy dose of legacy everything thrown in. Even if you really wanted to fix this in an overall way you cannot without acts of congress, rulemaking by federal departments and individual legislation in each of the states and local medical jurisdictions. UH…

Maybe, but, even so, how is it that they manage to be so much worse about this than BCBS is?

I know it's really fashionable to blame the government for everything but the government doesn't require broken websites, confusing workflows, and excessive redirects.
