Its a tricky thing to suggest the poison can be turned on its head to the point it becomes part of the cure and the approach is sort of radical at first blush but theres a chemical aspect of addiction that doesnt get looked at with abstinence approaches and if they can't manage on that, there's still hope and an arguably more efficacious approach with Sinclair.
Keep that mind if you see things regressing. I really wish it was otc and covered publicly and more people were aware of it

Its not an attack on e2ee, Telegram is first and foremost an unencrypted service. It can offer limited novel encryption for private chats but I think thats only person to person (and its definitely not by default), it also collects a ton of "unencrypted" data through all the permissions it requires to use the app.
This is more like Facebook allowing illegal content to stay up and refusing to moderate and also not handing over plaintext user data they retain and profit off of that they definitely have full access and knowledge of which is related to illegal conduct at issue.
If Telegram was actually an end to end encrypted service, they would probably be on better footing.
Edit - I'm okay if this misunderstanding actually galvanizes the public to realize the importance of e2ee/encryption in general and make this issue politically radioactive but there will always be totalitarian snoops who want access to everything and anyone for their own selfish purposes

What I'm getting at is because the hospital and insurance company are verically-integrated, wouldn't they charge themselves (since its "in-network") the least they could so its not cutting into the insurance side's numbers? Like just enough to cover all the actual bare combined costs so neither part is taking a hit to their own respective numbers?
