If you're worried about brevity in your writing, don't. It took Project 2025 nine hundred pages to say fourteen words.

I don't know who needs to know this, but Pro Publica has an online thing that will format a letter to your US health insurance company to demand the records behind a claim denial. (which the insurance is then legally required to provide in most cases) projects.propublica.org/claimfile/
