It Started With ObamaCare

...Think of it as socialized medicine on steroids where corporate profits... where government profits...actually trumps medical care. How so...because it forces both “HealthCare.gov” and other healthcare providers to limit medical options after their having denied claims submitted by customers now forced to go outside what their policies cover. And to make matters worse “HealthCare.gov” can, at any time, limit what they will cover or even raise their policy premiums at will.

Not good folks, not good at all. But as bad as “HealthCare.gov” is...don't forget it's basically “ObamaCare”...that's not the only reason why the health insurance industry is in such a quandary, for one only has to look at all the damage caused by the “Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act” (MMA) of 2003...which actually didn't go into full effect until 2010.

Signed into law by George W. Bush, MMA impacts three key areas, as in finances/the bidding process, marketing, and prescription drugs. And while MMA remains one of the biggest overhauls of Medicare itself, more important is the fact that it negatively impacted small businesses, and put many people out of work...Read entire article here.

Two federal death row inmates refuse Biden's commutation in continued fight to prove their innocence

Shannon Agofsky, 53, and Len Davis, 60, said in court documents that they never requested commutation

Two of the 37 inmates on federal death row whose sentences were commuted to life without parole last month by President Biden are rejecting clemency.

Shannon Agofsky, 53, and Len Davis, 60, who are both in the U.S. Penitentiary in Terre Haute, Indiana, are refusing to sign the paperwork to accept the president's clemency action due to the legal avenues they are afforded on death row, according to court documents.

The pair filed emergency motions in federal court on Dec. 30 requesting an injunction to block the change to their death sentences, saying that accepting their commutations would remove the heightened scrutiny that death penalty appeals receive.

Heightened scrutiny is a legal process in which the courts examine cases like death penalty appeals closer for errors because these cases are a matter of life or death.

"To commute his sentence now, while the defendant has active litigation in court, is to strip him of the protection of heightened scrutiny," Agofsky's filing reads. "This constitutes an undue burden, and leaves the defendant in a position of fundamental unfairness, which would decimate his pending appellate procedures."

Meta is ending its fact-checking program and lifting restrictions on speech to "restore free expression" across Facebook, Instagram and Meta platforms, admitting its current content moderation practices have "gone too far." 

"We’re going to get back to our roots and focus on reducing mistakes, simplifying our policies and restoring free expression on our platforms," Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in a video posted Tuesday morning. "More specifically, we’re going to get rid of fact-checkers and replace them with Community Notes similar to X, starting in the U.S." 

Meta’s chief global affairs officer, Joel Kaplan, will be on Fox News Channel’s "Fox & Friends" Tuesday morning for an exclusive interview to discuss the changes.

 

Meta’s third-party fact-checking program was put in place after the 2016 election and had been used to "manage content" and misinformation on its platforms, largely due to "political pressure," executives said, but admitted the system has "gone too far."
