Confusion reigns. There were protests. No, there weren’t protests. The New York Times had independent reports on the ground – not from State, not from the consulate – of protests.

2 other girls injured, but not given same level of care. Unsure where investigation will lead, or whether guilty will be found and adjudicated. Lots of fear of Taliban, even afraid to cooperate with the authorities.

Really? Pressuring seniors to move to cheaper plans via “premium support”? Then they argue this would force insurance companies to compete for business by slashing prices. Seriously, no more touting the values of the marketplace in keeping insurance rates low. In the name of profitability, they have put the fear of God into policyholders who had to worry about lifetime caps, pre-existing conditions, This is the same libertarian bullshit claim that suggests that national parks and forests could be purchased and run by private entities. Yeah, Natural Resources Defense Council will definitely be able to outbid a private corporation. Competition in the market can drive prices down yes. It can also drive prices up.
Does not address that it’s not medicare, but providers, who order excessive services.
