Some are calling for the 25th amendment, but how does it work?

By Mike Cummings January 15, 2021 Share this with FacebookShare this with TwitterShare this with LinkedInShare this with EmailPrint this (© stock.adobe.com) On Jan. 12, a day before voting to impeach President Donald Trump, charging him with “incitement of insurrection,” the U.S. House of Representatives passed a non-binding resolution asking Vice President Mike Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment to strip the president of his powers. The amendment’s fourth section authorizes the vice president and a majority of cabinet officers to declare a sitting president unable to discharge the powers and duties of office. This section has never been invoked. Indeed, Pence rejected the House’s request to invoke it now, saying he does not believe that “such a course of action is in the best interest of our Nation or consistent with our Constitution.”

Yale research guided policy to end surprise medical bills

By Mike Cummings January 15, 2021 Share this with FacebookShare this with TwitterShare this with LinkedInShare this with EmailPrint this (© stock.adobe.com) In a study of 2.2 million emergency room visits across the United States, they found that 1 in 5 patients who went to hospitals within their health insurance networks were treated by an out-of-network doctor and potentially incurred unexpected, often exorbitant expenses as a result. The average “surprise bill,” they calculated, was $622.55, although the charges could soar into the thousands. Their work made headlines nationwide. It caught the attention of prominent lawmakers in Washington D.C., who then consulted the researchers on the issue. Cooper and Scott Morton would publish two more papers expanding their analysis of surprise billing. And Cooper made at least a dozen trips to Washington to meet with lawmakers and their staffs, including presenting their work at the White House.
