- Sanders Report Exposes How Nonprofit Hospitals Exploit Tax Breaks, Fail Poor Patients: Nonprofit U.S. hospitals are legally required to provide affordable medical care for low-income patients, but many are failing to do so while taking advantage of major tax benefits and enriching executives, according to a report released Tuesday by Sen. Bernie Sanders. “In 2020, nonprofit hospitals received $28 billion in tax breaks to provide affordable healthcare for low-income Americans,” noted Sanders (I-Vt.), a Medicare for All advocate who chairs the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee.

- The Republican Revolution Devours Its Children: The conventional media narrative of House Republicans’ dumping Speaker Kevin McCarthy tells us that the act represented disarray and dysfunction within the House GOP, just as its ever-changing list of legislative demands before the threatened government shutdown was supposed to be a sign that Republicans didn’t even know what they wanted. Confusion, incompetence, and blundering ideological zeal offer a superficially convincing explanation. The truth is worse. It was not disarray and dysfunction in the GOP Conference but a logical succeeding chapter to January 6. When the destruction of constitutional government could not be accomplished by violence, the leading element of the Republican Party resolved to accomplish it by paralyzing government, a goal now achieved. The deposing of the speaker makes shutting down the government and giving a boost to ideological soul mate Vladimir Putin ( by withholding aid to Ukraine) more likely, an outcome that has always been the goal of the only faction of the GOP that matters.

- Neil Aquino from Houston Democracy Project is here. The Houston Democracy Project works daily to make democracy a top issue in 2023 Houston city politics & to inspire and strengthen pro-democracy coalitions. This week, we’ll discuss Houston Democratic State Rep. Ann Johnson, who does everything by the book and still faces a criminal complaint from Ken Paxton. Nobody is safe in this environment. We’ll also talk about a new Mayoral poll that makes one wonder why Rep. Jackson-Lee got in the race to begin with. [More]
- A message from a former Medicare Advantage salesman. Why you must get the real thing!: I have been begging people to get standard Medicare. Medicare Part C, aka Medicare Advantage, is a fraud on the patient and the American taxpayer. I have explained this ad nauseam in several blogs. [More]
