Acela quiet car is the dream

And right on cue, Vance has been hating on immigrants again. While violating the commandment "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour."
CNN on Vance remarks: So first of all, hospitals have been required for decades under a law signed by Republican president Ronald Reagan to treat undocumented immigrants and anyone else who shows up in the E.R. with an acute condition, regardless of their ability to pay, regardless of their legal status. This was not a Joe Biden decision. Secondly, the federal money for this emergency care goes to hospitals to help them cover the cost of the E.R. Visit. It is not comprehensive health care for undocumented people. Third, Jake, the trump law reduced this federal funding to hospitals. It did not eliminate it. And fourth, and I think this is the biggest point Democrats push to reverse this trump move and give the hospitals back level of reimbursement, would not give extra services or money to undocumented people. They would get the same emergency care Hospitals have been required for decades to give them. Hospitals would just get more help—the old level of help in covering the cost of that treatment.

What happens when private equity buys a hospital? More people die in the ER, a new report says. - The Boston Globe
A new study by researchers at Harvard and elsewhere adds to a growing body of literature that shows the profit-seeking model can raise prices and hurt patient care.
