By law, everyone who arrives at emergency departments must be assessed and stabilized, regardless of their ability to pay. This makes EDs, the most expensive form of healthcare, a provider of last resort for the uninsured. Nationally, hospital EDs handle 120-140 million visits each year, and the number of hospital emergency departments is declining, with […]
Following the breadcrumbs of how justice is achieved for one person . . . hopefully. Joyce Vance @ Civil Discourse Deporting an Innocent Man There is a case I want to write to you about tonight, a case that was decided last week but has gotten lost in the press of so much news on […]
Imposing a tariff may not be the best idea. Forcing manufacture or assembly in the US may be a better idea. The idea is to bring manufacturing back to the US. And either of the former are not ideal. “World’s second largest automaker makes dramatic move as it stops all US car imports,” Daily Mail […]

Whenever I see the term “hard”-working Americans, I want to barf. In this case, the author appears to be talking about cuts to people using Medicaid. I do not believe anyone in their right mind would use Medicaid if they could pay for an overpriced ACA healthcare policy. Commercial Healthcare Insurance costs for the average […]
A consequence of the 9/11 attacks was that the New York Stock Exchange and the NASDAQ were shut down for a week. “When trading resumed that week of September 17, 2001 . . . over the following five days, the Dow Jones average decreased more than 14%, the S&P 500 tumbled 11.6% and Nasdaq fell […]
