Still attempting to make sense of what happened in election of 2024. By all expectations, rights, etc. Kamala Harris should have won. She handily outshone Donald Trump in the debate. I fully expected her to do so. There were things working against her such as the late start in campaigning. I believe Democrats did not […]
An acquaintance or a friend who I have known for years on and off when our paths have crossed from time to time. Now at least I know why he stopped posting on his site. Thought maybe he moved on . . . wish it had been such. He tells a story of being cancer […]

Maggie Mahar would cite Phillip Longman and his book the Best Care Anywhere when she was on her own blog and also at Angry Bear afterwards. Mr. Longman has a history of detailing the healthcare given by the Veterans Administration. His proposal then was commercial healthcare should be replaced by a similar organization such as […]
