Comment on Wyoming hospital districts face ‘painful’ funding drop with property tax cut by Sarah Gorin

Well, duh. The revenue decrease was entirely predictable – that’s what tax cuts do.

Add to this the Trump administration’s appalling cuts to disease prevention and medical research, and forthcoming cuts to Medicaid, and our state and national health care scenario doesn’t look the slightest bit “great.”

In reply to Larry Skow. Don't worry Larry. There are literally billions more people on the earth than when I was born. Women have been having abortions as long as the Human has existed, yet there are still an unhealthy number of us on the planet.

Anyone with integrity and honesty knows abortion is healthcare. It should be between a doctor and the Women. The so-called christian white males want to rule the ladies. Reject these hypocrites.

really enjoyed that opinion. mr. miller you are wonderful. I just have a question: why are our congress people not following the oath they took? They swore an oath to uphold the constitution. Not an oath to a person.

Comment on Called on to defend the rule of law, Wyoming’s delegation says judges, not Trump, are the problem by William F Heineke

We have in many of our leaders today wearing The Mask of Sanity, (first published on 1941 by Hervey Cleckley, M.D.) updated and revised with the last edition 1982. Such persons may present as extremely gracious, rational, thoughtful, considerate, and convincing, often painting their targets, in this situation the Equal branch of government, the Judicial System, as victimizing them-and Yes this is The Equality State. There were persons well before our current crisis at the Duty to Warn Conference at Yale in 2017 expressed a duty to warn the public. This warning went essentially unheeded. Now the aggression and impulsivity are more pronounced and Without Conscience, (published 1999) -impeaching the judiciary, soy bean farmers potentially taking a huge hit, the possibility of states with hurricane damage who did not vote for Trump not getting relief-all supported by individuals who are nothing more than empty vessels whose sole function is to be mirrors reflecting the self-loving gaze of which our leader is frozen to and transfixed with, which reminds us of that Greek myth of Narcissus who fell in love with his own reflection in the pond, continuing his fixation unmoved by the caring of others resulting in his death; and now does the same fate await the Constitution of the United States?

I listened to the proceedings. Given the magnitude of the core issues, I was surprised the hearing only lasted an hour.

One thing, though . If you read the reporting over at the other daily Wyoming online news channel , you would think their reporters and the WyoFile reporters attended two different hearings …

As I read this article, I had to notice that men are dictating to women whether to carry their pregnancy. Men cannot get pregnant. They have no idea what a woman is feeling. I just feel that your skin and everything inside of you is yours and you decide not the legislature or the government in anyway . Wendy Volk, a woman spoke for the women. Their voice should be respected, and men should get their noses out of women’s business like this. guaranteed if a man could get pregnant abortion would be legal. When a baby takes its first breath that’s when its rights begin in my opinion. It’s a tough subject. It’s a tough decision for the women just leave them alone.for one thing I think it cost about $15,000 to have a baby. if you care about getting babies born making laws that scare the hell out of doctors is not the way to do it Wyoming is a maternity desert almost due to radical legislation.

In reply to Larry Skow. A couple of things Larry. I grew up in a small town in Montana that had a Catholic hospital. The order of nuns who operated the place were running out of fresh recruits and gave the hospital up to the local community. I remember that the local newspaper had an article about the new administrator and what he was being paid. I worked for a rancher in the summer at the time. He was just blown away by what the administrator was being paid. I think it was around $20,000/year, about the same as my rancher employer grossed out of his small ranch. Never mind what the administrator's job entailed. Lots more responsibility for one thing. The other little story I have is meeting a woman (a relative of a relative) who was a Catholic nun and spent her career as a hospital administrator. She did a job, basically for room and board, that as you say pays more than most doctors. Maybe if we could rustle up some new Catholic nuns who are willing to work for free hospitals wouldn't be so expensive.

What they are trying to do is destroy the last check on Trump’s autocratic agenda. If District Court judges can’t enjoin illegal activities, cases would have to go to Circuit Court – or, worse yet, all the way to SCOTUS – before anything was done. (And maybe not even then, given that Trump has crammed the court with partisan sycophants.) Anyway, by then the horse would be so long out of the barn that challenges would be moot. Which is what Trump wants.
