Anyone with an Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield plan will soon have to pay out of pocket for anesthesia if a surgery or procedure goes longer than expected, according to the American Society of Anesthesiologists.
The health insurance provider said they will no longer pay for anesthesia care if a surgery or procedure goes beyond a specific time limit. This will apply to patients in Connecticut, New York and Missouri.
The American Society of Anesthesiologists said Anthem can pre-determine the time allowed for anesthesia, and if an anesthesiologist submits a bill where the actual time of care is longer than Anthem’s limit, the company will deny paying for it.

Yeah but if enough CEOs get assassinated it might become the best!
… not that I condone this. But you can’t argue with results.
The man seems to know what he’s doing and, well, “might as well be hanged for a sheep as a lamb”. Plenty more CEO’s in the range.
