> If anything it’s the providers who are screwing over patients by gaming insurance and taking more than is necessary from the shared insurance pool of money.

If the 85% gets larger, so does the 15%. Both sides gain when the cost increases.

The title is far more general than what you actually mean. What's the reason for that if not click bait?

Is the argument that because it's a shark, we should accept that and avoid feeding any contenders?

Was the shark perfect at its inception or did it adapt as all things do?

Doesn't its shark-ness come by virtue of surviving against the best efforts of challengers through time?

Isn't that continual evolution at least in part dependent on a continuum of challengers?

Don't we implicitly give up on searching for something that could potentially overtake the shark by dogmatically accepting the shark's shark-ness?

Does anyone know if changing the display type of table elements (table, tr, td, etc.) to `block` or `flex` affect accessibility in any way? I would hope that the semantic structure of the tags would override changes on the styling level, but never been able to find a solid answer.
