“By default, we have created a "system" of nursing-home care for the aged in which middle-class people pay exorbitant rates to for-profit nursing-home entrepreneurs - and then when private resources are consumed and the patient qualifies as a pauper, the nursing home begins billing Medicaid. This is precisely the antithesis of social citizenship; instead of the poor being accorded the dignity associated with the middle class, equality of treatment is achieved by making the middle class undergo pauperization.” PeopleHomeCareSocialPoorPayClassMiddleResourcesDignityEntrepreneurPatientRateProfitMiddle ClassTreatmentCitizenshipConsumedNursingDefaultAntithesisMedicaidNursing HomeBilling Author:Robert Kuttner

“It is easy to remove the mind from harping on the lost illusion of immortality. The disciplined intellect fears nothing and craves no sugar-plum at the day's end, but is content to accept life and serve society as best it may. Personally I would not care for immortality in the least. There is nothing better than oblivion, since in oblivion there is no wish unfulfilled. We had it before we were born, yet did not complain. Shall we whine because we know it will return? It is Elysium enough for me, at any rate.” KnowsMindMayEndsEnoughCareLostWishEasyBornAcceptingAtheismReturnIllusionRateIntellectPositive AtheismComplainingImmortalityRemoveSugarOblivionCraveFear NotFear NothingPlumsElysium Author:H.

“Yes, we've cut the maternal mortality rate in half, but far too many women are still denied critical access to reproductive health care and safe childbirth, and laws don't count for much if they're not enforced. Rights have to exist in practice - not just on paper. Laws have to be backed up with resources and political will. And deep-seated cultural codes, religious beliefs and structural biases have to be changed.” IfsStillsCareLawPoliticalBeliefReligiousHalfPracticeCuttingRightsChangedSafePaperResourcesRateCriticalAccessHealth CareCodeMortalityDeniedChildbirthReligious BeliefPolitical WillReproductive Health Author:Hillary Clinton
