People do realize that the Risk Corridor payments aren't a "bailout" and are in fact dollars promised to insurance companies through federal law, right? If a company needs a Risk Corridor payment that means they essentially gave away a bunch of free healthcare because they didn't charge a high enough premium for the claims they paid out. It's not like they took the premiums, set them on fire, and didn't pay out any claims.

FBI agents on Tuesday paid visits to at least a dozen employees of Kaspersky Lab, a Russia-based cyber-security company, asking questions about that company’s operations as part of a counter-intelligence inquiry, multiple sources familiar with the matter told NBC News.

In a classic FBI investigative tactic, agents visited the homes of the employees at the end of the work day at multiple locations on both the east and west coasts, the sources said.

There is no indication at this time that the inquiry is part of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian election meddling and possible collusion. Kaspersky has long been of interest to the U.S. government.

They control certification for med schools and residency programs so they can dictate the number of new MDs graduating each year. On one hand labor unions are cool and good, on the other it increases cost of healthcare and reduces access. American doctors are paid way more and there are fewer of them per capita than in any other developed nation.

Especially with boomers aging we're going to need more doctors so at some point we'll have to significantly increase MD graduation rates and doctors will take a pay cut.

Medical school throughput already exceeds residency program spots, so increasing the number of medical schools will only result in inadequately-trained physicians.

Residency programs are accredited by the ACGME -- the AOA accredits DO residency programs but is merging the the ACGME and all programs will fall under the oversight of the ACGME by 2020. The AMA is one of the member organizations of the ACGME, but is not by any means the sole determinant of accreditation. Furthermore, the largest hurdle facing GME expansion is funding. In 1996 the government froze Medicare funding for GME programs, so for over twenty years the only way for a residency program to grow is for the hospital itself to fund it. One should also note that the member organizations of the ACGMA -- including the AMA -- have lobbied for years to reverse the Medicare GME freeze so that more residency positions can open, so that subsequently more students can graduate from medical school and obtain appropriate training.

quote:

Chicago 'Dyke March' Bans Jewish Stars

This weekend, at a lesbian march in Chicago, three women carrying Jewish pride flags — rainbow flags embossed with a Star of David — were kicked out of the celebration on the grounds that their flags were a “trigger.” An organizer of the Dyke March told the Windy City Times that the fabric “made people feel unsafe” and that she and the other members of the Dyke March collective didn’t want anything “that can inadvertently or advertently express Zionism” at the event.

Laurel Grauer, one of the women who was ejected, said she’d been carrying that Jewish pride flag in the march, held on the Saturday before the city’s official Pride Parade, for more than a decade. It “celebrates my queer, Jewish identity,” she explained. This year, however, she lost track of the number of people who harassed her for carrying it.

“I wanted to be in public as a gay Jew of Persian and German heritage. Nothing more, nothing less. So I made a shirt that said ‘Proud Jewish Dyke’ and hoisted a big Jewish Pride flag — a rainbow flag with a Star of David in the center, the centuries-old symbol of the Jewish people,” she wrote. “During the picnic in the park, organizers in their official t-shirts began whispering and pointing at me and soon, a delegation came over, announcing they’d been sent by the organizers. They told me my choices were to roll up my Jewish Pride flag or leave. The Star of David makes it look too much like the Israeli flag, they said, and it triggers people and makes them feel unsafe. This was their complaint.”

She tried to explain that the star is the “ubiquitous symbol of Judaism,” and that she simply wanted “to be Jewish in public.” Then, she “tried using their language,” explaining “this is my intersection. I’m supposed to be able to celebrate it here.”

It didn’t work. Ms. Shoshany Anderson left sobbing. “I was thrown out of Dyke March for being Jewish,” she said.

If it wasn't so hilarious evil for our own government to do so I would think that they were trying to say that their 22.8 mil uninsured is better than the 28 mil because rather than it being additive it actually means that 6 mil more people got insurance.

But that would be cruel, fake, and evil, and we're better than that, right?

That's likely what happened but I can't be sure of why. I'm guessing it's something incredibly stupid like Trump or Flynn passing the classified version of the election interference report to the Russians to make fun of Obama and it had enough to figure out the sources. If there's no doubt among the intelligence community that Russia was involved then there's probably a lot of hints pointing to the sources.

The deal here was it wasn't even an Israeli flag, and the lady they tossed was an anti-zionist herself, thrown out as part of a purge of suspected Zionist groups and individuals, not all of whom were correctly identified. A star of David alone does not an Israeli flag make.

Israel is the gayest place in the Middle East by far. Tel Aviv is a massive gay destination and gay Israelis get discriminated against by some ultra-orthodox private citizens, but Israel is actually a good place to be gay. Especially compared to most of the world and every other country within 2,000 miles of it.
