There are three effective platforms that work that could form the foundation for a national program and should be politically acceptable on a bipartisan basis: value based health care driven by employers; lean transformation at hospitals and clinics; and Medicare Advantage-For-All.
Media, scholars push narrative that is not supported by the survey data.
As another state budget cycle concludes, solutions for student loan debt remain unrealized, not because they are unreachable, but because Walker and the Republicans aren’t listening and aren’t trying.
It’s clearly the lack of sensible regulation that led to the Equifax scandal that has put tens of millions of people at financial risk through no fault of their own. It’s another example of why the claim of some that regulations aren’t needed and are a hindrance to the economy is nothing more than a lie.
If the Foxconn deal is the new standard, the subsidy for Amazon could reach $10 billion.
When his team was unable to come to an agreement on what it would do to protest the National Anthem before their game in Chicago Sunday, Pittsburgh Steelers Head Coach Mike Tomlin ordered his players to leave the field for the song and stand in the tunnel out of the sight of the crowd. But one player did come back out for the Anthem: offensive lineman Alejandro Villanueva.
America is not about forced or mandatory shows of patriotism. The national anthem is not a test that people who play football for a living need to pass.
The players who have peacefully and quietly protested should be able to do so without fear of retribution or of losing their jobs. The president, who should be the first to defend the right of peaceful protest and of those who disagree with him, believes otherwise. That should be very concerning to all of us who believe in free expression.
The plan Evers recently submitted to the U.S. Department of Education would do little to help the Badger State’s local school officials escape the federal strictures they say prevent them from giving our children the educations they deserve.
The Supreme Court justices have the power to end partisan gerrymandering with their ruling in Gill v. Whitford. They should do so in order to give every citizen’s vote equal weight. Then politicians won’t be able to “choose their voters” by the way they draw the maps.
RGA had launched an online “news” publication, The Free Telegraph, without initially revealing it was controlled by the RGA.
In addition to excellence as an attorney and sound character, Walker’s main criterion for selecting judges is a proper judicial philosophy. He wants judges who “adhere to the rule of law and have a commitment to a textualist, and originalist, judicial philosophy.”
It is a grave concern when many find it hard to contemplate a civil discussion, held with respect, on the great issues of the day without the necessity of armed guards and metal detectors. Dissent, it seems, from the orthodoxy of university thought is itself a challenging proposition at the University of Wisconsin.
In an increasingly diverse society and with more foreign-owned companies like Foxconn hiring U.S.-born workers, being adept at cross-cultural communications is a highly sought after aptitude.
Trying to curb riots is commendable. So is clarifying the rules of engagement for police when faced with demonstrations that turn violent. But doing so with laws that could curb peaceful demonstrations and free speech is not.
Scant evidence exists of lasting economic benefits to communities with acid mines. On the other hand, there is plenty of reason to worry that new acid mines pose significant and near-permanent risks to existing businesses and the communities they serve
Last week, a monument honoring the first Wisconsinites to take up arms against fascism was defaced with Nazi swastikas and graffiti announcing that “Trump rules.” Madison responded with the historic anti-fascist cry of “¡No pasarán!” — “They shall not pass!”
Barca’s Foxconn vote played a role in his being dumped as Assembly Democratic leader.
Once decision-making is in the hands of the states, there will be 50 health care debates around the country. Some states will work to insure as many people as possible, even if it requires providing more funds themselves to supplement the reduced federal dollars under Graham-Cassidy. Others will decide that it’s too costly and will opt instead to allow insurance companies to charge higher premiums for the elderly, disabled and those with pre-existing conditions in order to save their states money.
McCain says he won’t support the Senate GOP’s latests health care bill.
