What causes a frail elderly person to become a patient in the hospital, and can we do something in the home to prevent that event? What causes some people to develop chronic illnesses, and can other people intervene to prevent the consequences of those illnesses?
What if healthcare reformers asked these questions rather than focusing (or appearing to focus) only on costs? Better yet, what if they recognized
When you need advice, you talk someone you trust because you know that person's view of the world is one you share. You know that person does not have a hidden agenda that may be contrary to your own. If that person stands in opposition to you in those respects, would it change your mind about following their advice? It probably should. The GOP is in the same position on immigration. We are a party split between a majority that wants to resolve a broken immigration system and establish a sensible approach and a vocal minority
Uh oh, these bankrupt liberal cities are now having to rely on…the PRIVATE SECTOR! In the wake of all their money woes, many Liberal indoctrination centers (enclaves known as CITIES) looking into private (gasp) security.

For years, he was a major proponent of foreign aid, debt cancellation, and worked to alleviate the dire plight of those suffering from HIV/AIDS, malaria and abject poverty.

How many of you enjoy going to the movies? I go to be entertained to watch something that is basically not connected to my reality so I can escape for a short period and then forget the movie when I walk out the door.
Since 2012 there has been soul searching among Republicans about what went wrong and how we can win back the Senate and the White House as well as win local elections. What has been lacking is a serious discussion about what it means to be a conservative and thus what the Republican Party ought to stand for.

It is not enough to talk about protecting the border, cutting taxes, and defunding Obamacare.
