Congress quietly moves to integrate US and Israeli militaries
In the first step towards shifting aid further into the shadows, the House's 2027 NDAA would all but fuse the two countries' armed forces together

Reducing the presence of the US military in Germany would be a top ten failure of military, national security and international relations not only in US history, but quite possibly world history.
The US abandoning our German allies and Europe would be so catastrophic as to strain the meaning of the word.

#Healthcare #US #Insurance #CPAP
So my CPAP started displaying a message on start up that it's motor has exceeded it's rated hours; fortunately it still works for now.
Called to get a replacement. Insurance said I needed a prior auth from my doc.
Doc says they don't issue prior auths (which I should have flagged when talking to insurance). Now insurance says to get my CPAP pressure/info from the local durable goods provider who somehow is in network with every damned insurance I've been on in 30 years (in US healthcare...go figure).
They can't give me that info; they need a script from the doc for pressure and other data.
Finally insurance upends all of it and says I need a new sleep study before I can get a replacement CPAP. Not a 'new' one, just the one I've been prescribed and provided, replaced b/c it's End Of Life.
That will take THREE visits and I won't have a new CPAP until SEPTEMBER.
