Health Care

In a good reminder that government is always aggression and threats of violence backed by violence, and that police exist to protect the government, not the people, Maine sends state troopers to forcibly keep nurse in a quarantine she entered voluntarily.

I'm not the only one who realized the CDC mantra regarding the spread of Ebola was more dogma than science.

"“There’s some imperative to prevent panic among the public,” says Dr. Beutner, “But to be honest, people have not examined that with transmissibility in mind. I don’t completely trust people who’d say that as dogma.”"

Neither do I.

The chaotic procedures used in the Dallas hospital where the first African Ebola patient died.

Government's war on raw milk.

Doctors reject Obamacare exchanges.

"Over 214,000 doctors won't participate in the new plans under the Affordable Care Act (ACA,) analysis of a new survey by Medical Group Management Association shows. That number of 214,524, estimated by American Action Forum, is through May 2014, but appears to be growing due to plans that force doctors to take on burdensome costs. It's also about a quarter of the total number of 893,851 active professional physicians reported by the Kaiser Family Foundation."

What a disaster.
