Profit Motive Isn’t Working in Healthcare

Or with contract doctors . . . ER Dr. Ming Lin is calling attention to the increasing influence of large corporations in the practice of medicine and its detrimental effects on physicians and healthcare workers. What we have is one employee facing down a healthcare corporation. The chances of an employee winning are minimal unless the corporation action are overt and witnessed. Other people saying similar would add to the credibility of Dr. Ming Lin....

Constitution watchers brace for upcoming Supreme Court rulings on the Voting Rights Act, affirmative action, and the “independent state legislature...

Biden Administration Taking Action To Limit Junk Healthcare Insurance

About half of this is original and the other half is a rewrite. Just explaining things more than the author. What President Joe Biden is doing is repealing trumps Short Term Healthcare Coverage which today is less than 365 days. This was extended from prior 3-month coverage (maximum 4 months) when Congress failed to repeal the PPACA or ACA. President trump by executive order lengthened the 3-month coverage to one day shy of one year. By having...

We would’ve never been able to see cricket live on television

Basically, a story about big oil selling prosperity to a country by having their cricket team televised on TV and building a new stadium to be completed by 2025. Exxon and their partners were busy telling the story of fossil fuels as the solution to poverty. This story told as more and more Global North countries pass laws regulating emissions or incentivizing a shift away from fossil fuels. Their message is simple: Having your own fossil fuel...

Who is Deciding How to Spend $50 Billion in Opioid Settlement Cash?

Angry Bear has been writing about the Opioid epidemic and what has been influencing it for years. I was asked to write on it by an association and continued to do so. It would seem there should be more money coming forth from companies who promoted its use.

If we go back and read the Jink and Porter letter misused to promote the use and sale of an Opioid, one can see how its use grew. $50 billion is not enough to resolve the damage done.

Oppenheimer, Nullified and Vindicated

This story may not be your cup of tea. I found it interesting. Interesting it took way too long to bring justice for a man falsely accused and carrying the burden of such to his grave. There are three different articles to be read for which I did not do enough justice. NYT has a different version than the New Yorker. Energy Secretary Granholm’s letter vacating the AEC’s order makes for an interesting read also. The story in the New Yorker by Kai...
