Yesteday we brought you the story of how insurers have relied on doctors, some of whom “shut their eyes” to medical opinions that opposed their conclusions. Today, @mayatmiller.bsky.social and I tell you the story of how insurers cite progress as a reason to deny www.propublica.org/article/ment...

NEW: “You have made progress.” “You are not a danger to yourself or others.” The denial letter from Geneva Moore’s insurer directly contradicted her therapist’s words. Cut off from her treatment program, Moore slid into a monthslong downward spiral. propub.li/40iZlPO

Today we published a story that took months to report & starts with a judge questioning an insurance company lawyer about how he could stand by a defense that “seems to be not true” Read about how insurers rely on doctors when denying coverage & what judges said www.propublica.org/article/ment...

ProPublica spoke to about 150 people who had lived in homeless encampments when cities cleared them out in “sweeps.” We distributed notecards so people could tell us about the toll in their own words. This is what they wrote.

For the past year, @propublica.org has been reporting on the toll when a city "sweeps" an encampment. We handed out cards so folks could write in their own words what it meant to have their belongings trashed. We're publishing dozens of those stories here: projects.propublica.org/impact-of-ho...

One doctor’s recommendation to deny a 43-year-woman coverage “contained errors on practically every aspect” of her condition, the Labor Department said in 2012. United and other insurers continued to hire the doctor over the next decade. propub.li/3BQjJ1e

One of my absolute favorite parts of our Dairyland reporting has been taking our findings back to the people. Today I drove a few 100 miles and visited about a dozen tienditas and other gathering places in south-central Wisconsin to distribute our guide on what to do if after an injury on a farm.
