Interesting but . . .Price transparency for medical procedures hasn't reached KY yet. What's the incentive for selecting a less expensive plan which may be a skimpy plan? Let's look at the work of Jos. Stiglitz who won the Nobel for research showing the market doesn't work in health care.

When asked if Donna’s medical needs were being met, James Brown’s answer was immediate: “No, sir.”

He described unsanitary conditions — “the toilet stayed clogged for a week” — and said a guard “made her eat a pill off the floor.” His testimony highlights disturbing conditions inside ICE detention.

An ICE agent was caught removing a sign marking an ICE kidnapping in DC last week! Do we think he did it out of anger, embarrassment, or most appropriately shame? If you think what you’re doing is right, why are you trying to hide the evidence? 👀

This is a huge win that you might have missed last week: we successfully pressured airlines to shut down their data broker, which was selling passenger data to the government without a court order. I'm going to keep at it until other industries to follow suit.
After 404 Media's months-long reporting and pressure from lawmakers, the data broker owned by the U.S.’s major airlines will now shut down a program in which it sold access to hundreds of millions of flight records to the government and let agencies track peoples’ movements without a warrant.

After Congress slashed its budget, the station isn't sure how it'll survive.

“Why not just hire Americans?”

If we want to save our rural hospitals and solve our health care financing and coverage problems, we need to implement a national, publicly funded, single-payer MedicareForAll system. Read this article by Kay Tillow: www.counterpunch.org/2025/08/13/i...
