Fact Check: Is Sexual Assault a “Pre-Existing” Condition?

Prior to the passage of the American Health Care Act in the U.S. House of Representatives on 4 May 2017, critics warned that the bill would specifically put sexual assault and rape survivors at risk because it would list their circumstances as being “pre-existing conditions” subject to either price gouging or disqualification from healthcare insurance […]

Ivanka Trump, That’s Not How It Works

Ivanka Trump wants the world to know that she’s a feminist. Under the hashtag #womenwhowork (also the title of her new book on women in business, which was released on Tuesday), she’s spent the past few years building a brand based on how to be a woman who “has it all” — the adorable children, the high-powered […]

Why Not Try Trump’s Campaign Plan?

The sentiment behind the slogan “drain the swamp” was part of President Andrew Jackson’s effort to rid Washington of cronyism and corruption in 1828. This call has new meaning in 2017, intensified by the saga of House Speaker Paul Ryan’s failed American Health Care Act (AHCA). Obamacare, ironically called Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act […]

Dear Mr. Trump, About Single-Payer

Single-payer healthcare is making a comeback. A new survey by Morning Consult/Gallup finds that 44 percent of American voters support universal, government-run healthcare. Meanwhile, two California state senators introduced the Healthy California Act in February, a bill that would create a single-payer system in the Golden State. Even some prominent conservatives are backing the idea. […]

Don’t Hold Subsidies Hostage

Ever since House Republicans balked at a plan to end health insurance for 24 million Americans by repealing Obamacare, President Trump has been casting around for alternative strategies. One idea is to take another crack at legislation. To that end, Republicans have spent recent days struggling to craft a plan that both hard-line conservatives and […]

Fix the Healthcare System

Empathy for customers is perhaps the most powerful engine for success, but it is missing from many industries. When we experience the empathy gap in industries like air travel, it’s frustrating — but in other scenarios, like getting health care, it can be life threatening. Many Americans, including those with health insurance, cannot see the […]

GOP: Fake vs. Real

The most interesting policy argument in America right now is the debate between conservatives’ real position on health care and their fake position. The fake, but popular, position goes something like this: Conservatives think everyone deserves affordable health insurance, but they disagree with Democrats about how to get everyone covered at the best price. This […]

Making Americans Sick Again

The Trump administration came into office promising to fix things. Donald Trump promised to vastly improve the affordability and availability of health insurance (and, therefore, health care) for all Americans. He has also promised to cut domestic government spending in a series of sweeping reforms that include drastically cutting the budget of the Environmental Protection […]

Collapse of Obamacare in Knoxville, Tenn.

The Trump administration has failed to put forward a clean repeal of the much-maligned ObamaCare, as promised, and while Trump and establishment Republicans are pointing fingers at who is to blame for the broken promise, Americans continue to buckle under the weight of the “un”-Affordable Care Act. According to the Daily Caller, Knoxville, Tennessee, may […]

Apps to Overcome Fertility “Gag Rule”

If ever there was a moment to challenge U.S. government overreach into women’s healthcare, this is it. Under President Donald Trump, the White House looks set to implement policies that will negatively impact women’s reproductive rights around the world. The overreach began on January 23, when Trump reinstated and expanded the Mexico City Policy, often […]

Embrace Single-Payer Plan

With the collapse of RyanCare, the Trump administration is looking for a new plan. We’re going to need one, since health-care reform isn’t going away. At best, we just kicked the can down the road. We’re still living with the night of the living dead that is ObamaCare. It’s slowly dying because too few people […]

Nursing Error & Son’s Death

On Saturday, the 5th of November, 2011, my life fell apart when my only son Tyler left this world. One week before that, on the morning of the 28th of October, I received a phone call that no mother ever wants to receive. I was asked to go immediately to the hospital. And when I […]
