“…Although out-of-network billing has received news media attention, to date there has been little systematic study of its incidence and financial consequences. Studies have examined the incidence of out-of-network billing by emergency department (ED) physicians, but to our knowledge billing by other physicians and ambulance transport services has not been fully explored.…”

IMPORTANCE Although surprise medical bills are receiving considerable attention from lawmakers and the news media, to date there has been little systematic study of the incidence and financial consequences of out-of-network billing.OBJECTIVE To examine out-of-network billing among privately insured patients with an inpatient admission or emergency department (ED) visit at in-network hospitals. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTSA retrospective analysis using data from the Clinformatics Data Mart database (Optum), which includes health insurance claims for individuals from all 50 US states receiving private health insurance from a large commercial insurer was conducted of all inpatient admissions (n = 5 457 981) and ED visits (n = 13 579 006) at in-network hospitals between January 1, 2010, and December 31, 2016. Data were collected and analyzed in March 2019.EXPOSURES Receipt of a bill for care from at least 1 out-of-network physician or medical transport service associated with patient admission or ED visit. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURESThe incidence of out-of-network billing and the potential amount of patients' financial liability associated with out-of-network bills from the admission or visit.

“…By continuing to insist there is just something different about ourselves or our experience (something that demands a different kind of analysis from what is applied toward understanding nonhuman animals), we continue the problematic tradition of only halfheartedly accepting our place in the world. 23 I have explored a related issue of explanatory adequacy in Olen (2016). Does this count as quibbling over a trivial, if not dull, difference?…”

“…In fact, many of Sellars' earliest publications are preoccupied with metaphilosophical questions (though their definition of philosophy as a "formal science" precludes behavioral science considerations from working their way into philosophical concepts). See Carus (2004), Olen (2016), and Brandhoff (forthcoming) for an account of these issues.…”

I explore conceptual tensions that emerge between Wilfrid Sellars’ and Grace de Laguna’s adoption of behaviorism. Despite agreeing on various points (e.g., the social nature of language and behavior, a methodological commitment to behaviorism), I argue that Sellars’ and de Laguna’s positions represent a split between normativist and descriptivist approaches to explanation that are generally incompatible, and I explore how both positions claim conceptual priority.

“…29 Reichenbach's The Rise of Scientific Philosophy (1951) can be read as an attempt to push an alternative label. 30 See Mormann (2021), Verhaegh (2018a), Olen (2016) for reconstructions of Nagel's, Quine's, and Sellars' developments respectively. Unlike Quine and Nagel, Morris never broke with the general outlines of Carnap's program.…”

is best known as a philosopher of culture and student of Ernst Cassirer. In this paper, however, I argue that this standard picture ignores her contributions to the development of analytic philosophy in the 1920s and 1930s. I reconstruct the reception of Langer's first book The Practice of Philosophy¾arguably the first sustained defense of analytic philosophy by an American philosopher¾and describe how prominent European philosophers of science such as Moritz Schlick, Rudolf Carnap, and Herbert Feigl viewed her as one of the most important allies in the United States. In the second half of this paper, I turn to Langer's best-selling Philosophy in a New Key (1942) and reconstruct her attempts to broaden the scope of the, by then, rapidly growing U.S. analytic movement. I argue that her book anticipated various developments in analytic philosophy but was largely ignored by her former colleagues. I end the chapter by offering some clues as to why New Key did not incite the same laudatory responses from analytic philosophers as her earlier work.
