policy director forjeremy corbyn andrew fisher 7 and from washington, republican and former adviser to george w bush, ron christie. good evening. the biggest number ofjews killed in a single day since the holocaust. women, children, grandmothers, driven away possibly to their deaths. driven away possibly some of them raped repeatedly and murdered. that is the context. and that is why these coming days we will see an unflinching response from the israeli government. this is the fourth such conflict in gaza since israel unilaterally withdrew from the strip in 2005. but this is unlike those otherwars, not least because the number of israelis killed in the weekends violence is itself unprecedented. the israeli public will demand that hamas pays a heavy price, and the calls for a ground incursion will be ringing in the ears of the politically imperilled benjamin netenyahu. the question is to what end? and at what cost? we will get into some of that tonight, but it is fair to assum
san mateo as opposed to up here, accreditation for ems. as well as with the over time down there, they did have atrition with employees, but they get capped out. so if we capped them out on over time on the medic rig as well as on the bike, their time would be capped out sooner, and we d have no one to work the shifts on the rescue rigs, so it was a staffing issue not just down there, up here, as well. that s why we came up with this new model. it s going to take, i d say, a couple months to implement. is there any way the airport can be helpful in this regard. it comes from up here, so it is he aa matter of having enough staffing on the medics and the rescue rigs. if we have more personnel on top of that, we use them for the bike medic program on that. the funding comes from the airport for that. that s why i was asking. i know the funding comes from the airport, but what you re saying is if the pool to draw from is small, there aren t enough people to send. correc
we didn t collect 31 million, so we last about 6 million. is that correct? is that how much we lose every time we send in terms of cost to the city, every time we send an ambulance out. so in general, those two lines represent two things: one, the positive line, the $135 million line, that represents essentially 100% of all the billings that we generate for that year. and that 106 million represents the adjustments, write offs, things contractual adjustments, for example, medi-cal, medicare, patients that just don t pay, all those old outstanding accounts receivable, all that s written off through the course of the year. so the net of those two, which is about 27, 28 million, is the net revenue that we project. and that based on the insurance demographics and the demographics of our patients, there is a lot of writeoffs. so only a few patients ever really pay? well, in a lot of cases, we get a lot of payments. for example, medi-cal pays about $150 for a ride, so the
of extraordinary political drama on capitol hill, as the republicans tried and failed to put their health ca re tried and failed to put their health care legislation to a vote, early morning, the big question was, did they have the support to get the bill across the line? after intense last minute discussions between speaker paul ryan and donald trump, just minutes before the planned vote, the president called the speaker and told them to pull it. a little earlier, donald trump had this to say: we had no democrat support, no votes from the democrats, they were not going to give us a single vote, so it is a very difficult thing to do. give us a single vote, so it is a very difficult thing to dolj give us a single vote, so it is a very difficult thing to do. i have been saying for the last year and a half, the best thing we can do politically speaking is let obamacare explode, it is exploding right now. many state have big problems, almost all states have big problems. i was in
money to invest, not their own money, and tell us about what the next innovation or technology will be the wave of the future and economically successful. time and time again that fails which is probably why they re in washington and not on wall street. one of my favorite quotes that i use when talking about government is is something i use time and time again, in fact i used it when i testified in front of the house oversight committee. he writes that the task of economics is to demonstrate to men how little they know about what they imagine they can design. really, truer truer words cannot be spoken about the biofuels. it s shown how the government cannot essentially plan energy markets and the unintended consequences it creates when doing so. there s a lot of those unintended consequences. economic, environmental and ethical when you talk about the rising food costs. so to demonstrate one of those, i would like to paint a picture for you and just have you imagine something
