Those Darn Facts

Wednesday, July 11th, 2012

It’s been an interesting week in Indiana politics and it’s only Wednesday.  Democratic gubernatorial candidate John Gregg came out and offered a plan to “reform” the Department of Child Services and ISTEP test scores came out.  Why are these two related?  Grab a seat and just follow me on this one. Gregg, a very good […]

Friday, July 6th, 2012

The state of Indiana has lost a federal administrative appeal regarding its efforts to defund Planned Parenthood and stop the agency from receiving Medicaid funds. Lawmakers voted in 2011 to deny Medicaid funding to health providers that also provided abortions, except for hospitals and ambulatory surgical centers.  However, that law was turned down by Medicaid […]

Is it Time for a Single-Payer Health Care System?

Thursday, July 5th, 2012

As some of  you know, I write a weekly column for NUVO Newsweekly.  This week, in response to the U.S. Supreme Court decision on the Affordable Health Care Act, I penned a column arguing that it was time for a single-payer health care system in this country.

Happy Birthday, America!   You’re 236-years old now start acting like you’ve got some sense!
