Devastating article. Phone call from the wife of the who tried to kill himself to insurer, HIghmark.

"I am very curious under what scenario exactly a person who has tried to kill himself twice w/in the span of a week is denied an inpatient behavioral health treatment when every dr that saw him said he needs to be in a residential treatment program. I am infinitely curious what credentialed individual made that decision that that is not medically necessary."

If Florida proceeds with its plan not to require vaccines for schoolchildren, the state should plan on building more cemeteries. Policy through eugenics = death.

I completely agree -- it's really funny. My students think so too. Ishmael's voice is glorious.
