I doubt she can afford a lawyer to fight them, but it sounds like she'd have a good case.
This is typical. As I've mentioned before, the only emergency room in my area is out of network.
The US health care "system" is a fucking disgrace and anyone who is fighting to keep things the way they are is killing people.

Various legal immunities can come into play when one is dealing with hospitals, though the usual defence is that there was never an explicit representation that the patient was covered/the specialist was in network, etc.
There is also a very obvious disparity of resources to fight this kind of thing, and the differences among cases are enough to defeat class certification.

The Dutch government has decided to reduce the driving speed limit from 130 to 100 km/h, to combat the atrocious nitrogen levels in the air.
This is a Dutch government where the greens are _not_ part of the coalition, and the populist Thatcherite bastards of the VVD are. What is this, opposite day?
I'm obviously happy with this, but wtf...

They are a trip
If you want a fully immersive "postmodern design hellscape" themed dining experience I highly recommend dinner at The Cheesecake Factory

I have dined in one Cheesecake Factory, I've had order-out from one in an emergency, and I actually failed to get into one in Palm Desert because it was jammed to the rafters with very old snowbirds.
The menu feels like it's about the length of War and Peace, trying to offer some version of pretty much every cuisine on earth - there's Mexicanish and Italianish and Thaiish and Chineseish and Frenchish (ish) and Americanish. And I think they have a shepherd's pie and poke bowls, too.
It was spectacularly unsatisfying in all instances.
I've never had their cheesecake.

I think that they've been a 'thing' for some good while, have they not?
One such establishment has just opened here in Balham - The Little Dessert Shop as it's called. I've yet to go in.
Not that I've noticed, but you might be right. I think I've seen the odd ice cream parlour around but they seem to mainly cater for kids.

They actually opened one in Queens last year.
Which is much too close for my peace of mind.
Dessert-only establishments are still not a thing, unless one counts ice cream parlours and bakeries/confectioners with seating, like Veniero's, which has been going for over a century.
