I’m going to need a journalist who *actually understands health care* to be the one to interview him about this. Because this is moronic on too many levels for a generalist reporter to unpack

Almost every major news story this week is about how the entire economy is now gambling, scams, bribes and theft.

"Until we go bankrupt or are fully devoured by one of the three beasts, things are going to be business as usual here. That means doing the job of two and a half employees without complaining."
