The company that owned the Boardwalk cut it loose and let it float down river. It eventually ran aground near Cincinnati.

Was Touch there when Whiskey Dicks was there?

The full year I worked at UPMC and paid for UPMC insurance is the most I’ve ever paid for healthcare in my life. I didn’t even see a doctor once that year.

Yup Tequila Willie's is where Jets used to be (if memory serves).

What router are you running?

Forgot about that one, but I think that was at the old boardwalk with Donzie's.

Tequila Willie's?

This is an excellent bit of satire.

Lmao

Looks like someone needs Chipotlaway

I work for UPMC on the insurance services side and the insurance is pretty good, they cover an incredibly expensive injectable my wife takes for a chronic disease. I've got no complaints.
 
In general health insurers cover what the policy holder asks them to cover. If your insurance doesn't cover much, you can talk to your HR department about it because they set the terms.

Haven't had Humboldt Fog is years, but was always a favorite! Might have to grab some soon!

They do! Have some in my fridge now.

They would probably find a way to rework their accounting to zero out excess revenue if they were subject to income tax. Does any entity besides the state have business income tax?

So ...

City residents pay property taxes to the school district.

UPMC does in fact make "profit"(revenue - expenses). In 2021 they had "excess money" of $843 million. A good bit of that money they invest in other companies.

UPMC finances the construction of new buildings by issuing bonds.

They would pay $50 million in property tax while canceling the $1billion in free services so that’s not a great trade off. Better solutions are break them up and unionize

The strange thing is they have the best plans on the public insurance exchange. I’d be curious how their employee plans stack up to other non union employers. Most non union employers have put the rising costs of health insurance solely onto the employee over the last twenty years. If they want better pay and benefits they should probably unionize

Property taxes would be on a county and township basis. They don’t make profit because they spend any excess money on new buildings so there is no profit to tax.

The model is get big so they don’t get pushed around by out of state for profit insurance companies.

I understand union health insurance is better than non union. I’m curious how UPMC health insurance compares to other jobs. I’ve worked in tech and employees are well paid but the health insurance is usually expensive high deductible plans which really stinks if you have a chronic health problem. Does a nurse at UPMC get better or worse health insurance than an accountant at PNC or does a minimum wage worker at UPMC get better insurance than a minimum wage worker at giant eagle or eat and park?

Yeah it’s really sad. You would think the party of capitalism would be in favor of building infrastructure in productive locations but owning the libs comes above all else.

I would be in favor of that if it is in conjunction with strong anti corruption laws and we can directly elect management instead of it being controlled by psychopath Republican politicians

They are a nonprofit because they reinvest excess money back into themselves instead of enriching investors on Wall Street. I don’t think taxing UPMC would lead to higher worker pay or better working conditions or market competition. The county has said it would raise revenue by 5%. I’m just curious what else it would actually accomplish. Highmark, the second largest nonprofit hospital and insurance conglomerate owns naming rights to the Buffalo bills stadium so UPMC on a skyscraper is not unusual considering they have offices in that building. I think the biggest issue is UPMC marketshare and the most effective solution is to force them to divest two hospitals - Children’s and Mercy and employees should unionize. The executives lawyers and accountants are probably laughing at us for wasting government resources litigating their non profit status instead of just breaking them up into smaller pieces
