Basically, BCBS was only going to reimburse the amount of anesthesia that government medical agencies estimate a procedure requires. So, an appendectomy is estimated to take an hour, but your surgery takes an hour and a half, then you're on the hook for the anesthetic costs for the last 30 minutes. There was a lot of backlash to that decision, and I guess they're taking backlash pretty seriously...for some reason.

Fucking hell... Don't tell me whoever wrote that policy isn't fucking evil. You cannot be a normal human being and come up with such cruelty.
