“Catholic providers have a long history of prioritizing care for poor and underserved communities, and their overrepresentation in Medicaid plans is likely related to that mission. But doctors and advocates express concern that when restrictions on care aren’t made clear to patients — either by Medicaid or by the hospitals themselves — low-income women may struggle to obtain reproductive health services like birth control.”
It’s more complicated than that. The policy applies to unrecognized organizations. Further, it is not a ban on such organizations; rather, the policy implements penalties for belonging to them. Finally, it’s important to recognize that this policy was aimed at so-called Final Club membership, which have a rather checkered history at Harvard. More traditional Greek organizations are collateral damage. (And note that such Greek organizations are not recognized at Harvard.)
Not saying I agree with the policy–just that it isn’t as outrageous as it might appear at first blush.
A Man Got Into a High-Speed Chase Because He Really Needed to Poop
A guy in Washington state ran from the cops, lost control of his car, and crashed into a house last Wednesday. And when they asked why he didn’t stop when they tried to pull him over, he said he couldn’t . . . because he really needed to poop.
I might sort of, kind of agree (as I bite my tongue)…but it’s a terribly written policy. I mean seriously, writing a policy so badly designed that as collateral damage takes out organizations with more than 100 years history? That alone makes it incredibly stupid. This is an illustration of why I maintain such distaste for bureaucrats in general.
The Final Club certainly has a checkered past, 100%
Miserable old guy slashes womans tires because she was sitting in his favourite seat at bingo. So this is what we get to look forward to when we hit 80 years old, nice.
What about the bats? This role should clearly only be cast to someone who identifies as a bat.
It’s amazing how the concept of ACTING, as in this shit isn’t real life, is completely lost to these people. Seems like there were quite a few gay actors in straight roles who managed to pull it off somehow.
Anyways, I think she’s supposed to be in John Wick 3, and at least the target audience of that movie shouldn’t be retarded enough to find something offensive in her casting.
Democrats are more positive about socialism than capitalism, new Gallup poll says
Democrats view socialism more positively than capitalism, according to a new Gallup poll, and it’s mostly because voters on that side of the aisle view capitalism less favorably than they did a couple years ago.
Forty-seven percent of Democrats and independents who lean Democratic now view capitalism positively, down from 56 percent in 2016. Those with a positive view of socialism remained somewhat steady at 57 percent, down a point from 58 percent two years ago.
“The Gallup survey did not name specific socialist political figures nor did it define “socialism” or “capitalism” but rather asked respondents whether their opinion of each is positive or negative.” [emphasis mine]
