The nation’s state medical boards allow thousands of physicians to keep practicing medicine after findings of serious misconduct that put patients at risk.

Do we really think that government loans aren’t like bank loans? Yeah if you don’t pay it back your penalized.

Very few commentators on the UPS move have read the whole story.
Coverage was withdrawn only when a spouse had insurance available through other employment.
Spouses who were not employed outside the home did NOT have their insurance withdrawn.
Large corps have been thinking about doing this for years. The ACA might be the
“cover” for doing so now, but that is all.
