What is the issue(s) here is larger hospitals such as “Bon Secours (48 hospitals) has been slashing services” at its facility in a poorer, predominantly Black part of Richmond. At the same time, it is ‘investing in the city’s wealthier, white neighborhoods.’” By maintaining the Richmond hospital, it keeps access to the 340B program, provides drugs to the hospital in the wealthy section, and goes around the 340B rules. 340B hospitals are also...

I guess if you are X-President D. Trump and a civilian, nothing still applies to him. Even showing respect at Arlington. This is a man who called Vets losers. Trump: “Why should I go to that cemetery? It’s filled with losers.” On McCain . . . “He’s not a war hero,” Trump said in 2015 while running for the Republican nomination for president. “I like people who weren’t captured.” About McCains funeral, “He’s not a war hero,” Trump said in 2015...

Joyce Vance at Civil Discourse on Jack Smith’s New Approach. Since trump now has certain immunities due to being a former pres, pres, president as declared by SCOTUS. Took a bit to call trump a president. Jack Smith takes a different approach in indicting trump as citizen trump. He carefully avoids reference to the office of president. This is going to be interesting as this new indictment will be appealed. In a Tuesday afternoon surprise,...

Americans hate high prices, and Kamala Harris says she plans to combat them by banning price gouging in food and groceries. But, depending on what form it takes, economists could hate her plan. Vice President Harris, who will formally accept her party’s nomination at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago this week, has laid the blame for high food prices at the feet of businesses. Surveys conducted by Harvard University economist Stefanie...

Yes, it is true. That is only part of the story. There is more to it as to why the FTC is interfering. I am surprised there is not more “current” information on Cerberus and Apollo Global involvement in the Kroger-Albertsons merger. I keep reading the same blathering over and over. $25 billion at play here. And both private equity guys are out to break the bank. Kroger is already threating to go to SCOTUS because the FTC’s Lina M. Khan is...

That is unless he changes his mind. You have to remember; Justice Clarence Thomas dropped an open hint that Special Council Jack Smith’s appointment may not be legitimate. AG Merrick Garland has weighed in on this . . . Attorney General Merrick Garland defended his appointment of special counsel Jack Smith on Tuesday as the department appeals a ruling finding he was wrongly appointed, saying he wouldn’t make such a “basic mistake.”...

This did not start with Biden. When trump lost to Biden, Repubs started to advertise US borders were open for immigrants. A complete turn around from when Repubs held the presidency. The issue became bigger and Republicans helped to make it bigger. James Carville defended the Biden administration’s border policy Friday during a one-on-one interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity. The discussion spiraled into a broader debate on national...

A problem is reining in the rogue ACA Agents without slowing enrollment as also reported by KFF. Regulators are contending with a problem affecting people’s coverage. Some brokers are signing people up for Affordable Care Act plans and are switching them into new ones without their permission. The problem is how to thwart the bad actors without affecting ACA sign-ups. Two private bad actor enrollment sites have been blocked from the ACA market...

Who is the bigger scab? In an interview with Musk, Trump appeared to endorse firing striking workers. The United Auto Workers Union has filed federal labor charges against former President Donald Trump and Elon Musk, the union said Tuesday. In a thread on X, the union said Trump and Musk had illegally attempted to “threaten and intimidate workers who stand up for themselves by engaging in protected concerted activity, such as strikes.” Musk...

“Kabuki is a form of classical theater in Japan known for its elaborate costumes and dynamic acting. Phrases such as Kabuki theater, kabuki dance, or kabuki play are sometimes used in political discourse to describe an event characterized more by showmanship than by content.” Maybe I am wrong in calling it such. The style of play occurring between the two companies and the management give ne the impression of such. If you have been following...
