Million figure gets thrown around so much. Thats why thats so misleading. It is reimbursements for fee for service treatment. And like other medical providers, planned parenthood is reimbursed for the health care it provides to these patients and thats generally the way Health Care Insurance works anyway, right . Thats exactly right. Just a different insurance program. We rely on providers to take in these patients, especially since medicaid generally reimburses at a lower rate than private insurance. Thats correct. And i think its really important because in so many states, as weve talked about earlier, there are not that Many Health Care providers that will take medicaid patients. In fact, i think dr. Gosar made that point. Medicaid reimburses rather poorly. It does, although were really proud at just looking at the state of pennsylvania, we see 108,000 patients in the state of pennsylvania. Many of them are in rural communities. So when we hear talk about defunding planned parenthoo
Effectively, they argue for a return to the rules that applied for most of Human History and that predate this institution, the belief that power is a zerosum game, that might makes right, that strong states must impose their will on weaker ones, that the rights of individuals dont matter, and that in a time of rapid change, order must be imposed by force. On this basis, we see some major powers assert themselves in ways that contravene International Law. We see an erosion of the democratic principles and human rights that are fundamental to this institutions mission, information is strictly controlled, the space for Civil Society restricted. Were told that such retrenchment is required to beat back disorder, that its the only way to stamp out terrorism, or prevent foreign meddling. In accordance with this logic, we should support tyrants like bashar alassad, who drops barrel bombs to massacre innocent children, because the alternative is surely worse.

Black lung disease is caused through the inhalation of coal mine dust, and it tends to i should say it leads to severe breathing complications and is found mostly in central appalachia, in particular the states of pennsylvania, West Virginia, kentucky and virginia. According to the department of labor, black lung disease contributed to the death t deaths of over 75,000 minders from 1968 to 2007. That averages to over 1,900 miner death cans per year over deaths per year over a 39year period. Thats an extraordinary number. Im a not sure how widely reported that number is. And while overall rates have dropped since 1968, Research Conducted by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and health shows that there has been a spike since the early 1990s particularly in the most severe, fastprogressing type of black lung disea
Countrys leadership at least, under the president , will wake up. Stop hurting the freedomloving egyptians that dont want the radical islamists support in egypt, back in charge of egypt. Dont help isis in syria. Dont help them in iraq. And if he had just signed the status of forces agreement that president bush had all but ready to sign, getting cute with that, so it fell apart, then we wouldnt be having all these problems today in iraq and syria hat we are. Hes getting horrible advice and its time for the to the take a hard look at who he really gets advice from, because the moderate muslims in the world dont want radical islam taking over and they dont, as theyve told me privately, like the people that this president has advising him. So, the economy is ready to take off if this president will get out of the way.
