Medicare Advantage is a disadvantage. School vouchers in TX. Blame the Constitution.

Medicare Advantage is but a disadvantage to patients. Will Abbott get School Vouchers? Our Democracy is at stake because of the Constitution, not its people.

• 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]
• Texas Senate unveils its priority school voucher bill: The Texas Senate unveiled Monday its main bill to establish an education savings account program, a priority for Gov. Greg Abbott this special session. Senate Bill 1, authored by Sen. Brandon Creighton, R-Conroe, would allow families access $8,000 of taxpayer money to pay for private schools and other educational expenses such as uniforms, textbooks, tutoring or transportation among other things. “Educating the next generation of Texans is a fundamental responsibility, and it is my belief that empowering parents with school choice will encourage competition, innovation and ensure that every student in Texas has the opportunity to find an educational path for their unique needs,” Creighton said in a statement.

• Why is American democracy on the brink? Blame the Constitution: You’ve got to hand it to the Norwegians. Democracy won’t soon die under their midnight sun. They borrowed liberally from the United States to establish independence and write a constitution, and then dove enthusiastically into the project. Over two centuries, they have amended that constitution 316 times, tinkering routinely with their founding document as they have sought a more perfect democracy. By contrast, the United States, Norway’s revered role model, has adopted an ain’t-broke-don’t-fix default mode. Over roughly the same two centuries, the United States has amended its Constitution a mere 27 times. It got 10 amendments done speedily: The right of corporations to spend unlimited dark money on political campaigns? First Amendment. The right of 18-year-olds to openly carry semiautomatic rifles in church but maybe not with bump stocks? Second Amendment. And so on. The 27th and final amendment was ratified more than 30 years ago. It says that if members of Congress give themselves a pay raise, it can’t take effect until after the next election, when voters have a chance to boot them from office. Not nothing, but not democracy-preserving stuff, either. [More]
