Present everybody what occurred
Congress should demand public launch of the second Division of Protection video, the one exhibiting killing unarmed survivals of the missile strike on alleged narco-traffickers a thousand miles from our nation’s shores. The lawmakers who have been aware of the key viewing reported sickening photos of two folks holding on for his or her lives on the bow of a sinking fishing boat, with no cellphone or different means to speak with anyone – earlier than being blown up and killed within the second assault.
I’m wondering if I’m the one one so deeply disturbed and ashamed by the acts of immorality and disrespect for primary worldwide legal guidelines dedicated by our present leaders, by their cover-ups and duplicity. I imagine that by protecting silent, we’re complicit within the prison and inhumane acts of the leaders of the Division of Conflict(sic).

Repair Obamacare first
Rick Scott launched a invoice to repair Obamacare. Amongst his steered adjustments, the one change with potential actual or critical impression is permitting buy of plans from different states. Scott claims that doing this may “repair” our value issues; nevertheless, actual reform can by no means happen till the incestuous hyperlinks between insurance coverage corporations and suppliers are irreparably minimize.
In the present day, the standard affected person can’t price-shop care when the one variable is “in” vs “out” of community. A typical affected person can’t even handle care together with her personal physician when large brother insurance coverage should approve care based mostly by itself profitability. Does it matter that every hospital lists costs for each tablet, bandage and suture when a affected person with out insurance coverage wants care? Chapter is chapter.
The $1.3 trillion insurance coverage business can simply circumvent Scott’s intent by creating cross-state “in-network” preparations. They’ve an excessive amount of to lose if they’ll’t. As an alternative of Scott’s band-aids, how about wholesale restructuring? Like making monetary ties between insurance coverage corporations and well being care suppliers unlawful?
Suppliers would have 5 years to set and listing their costs impartial of the insurance coverage carriers. “Clients” may then store by the very best high quality or finest worth after which the insurance coverage firm would pay. Open pricing and open selection would start to remove the worst of the suppliers and set up competitors between well being suppliers. Better of all, sufferers and their very own medical doctors would management acceptable stage of service. Properly, I can dream, can’t?
