WPR pretty much ignores things like this. Poverty just "isn't interesting to our listeners". You'll also never hear anything about bribery at WPR because there is a whole CULTURE OF BRIBERY at 821 University Avenue...... not to mention the perks they are taking for themselves. Their finances are almost impenetrable, and I cannot count the number of times that they have broken the open meetings and open records laws. These people are NOT the warm pink fuzzy bunnies everyone thinks they are. If you question or criticize them for their policies you are banned from the air and blocked from their state-funded Facebook pages and WPR. org.
I am seeking a free speech lawyer to take my case over WPR/UW/ECB censorship, which is naked, brutal, and content-based to remove criticism of their policies. The letter from my most recent banning is hilarious, especially when you read the examples of what I am banned for. Not only is this censorship, it is also prior censorship.
A culture of bribery, censorship, secrecy and central control is what you will find when you visit 821 University Avenue. I'm ready to prove it in court if I can get a decent lawyer. I'd hate to have to go it alone, even in an open and shut case.
This notion that "the doctors did not choose or design this system" is completely ludicrous! No one will ever be able to justify to me the enormous amount doctors charge for their services. My son recently had to be seen by a wound care clinic for ongoing treatment. This was done through a hospital and when the bills started coming in, I was sick! Not just from the charges that incurred from the hospital but I was also being charged, essentially, twice because I received a bill from the doctor that we saw that day in addition to the bill I got from the hospital. The bill included an office visit charge and a charge for the servives provided! How can this be right? Being charged as if we went to two different facilities that day and receive two different services. Now, if you can tell me that the government or medicare says that is the way doctors have to charge, I would have to disagree! Who are the ones that stand to gain the most from this kind of practice? The governmen? Medicare? Or the doctors? Ya, that's right, the doctors. So, go right on crying to all of us "laymen" about how much it cost you to run your business and keep on charging us in upwords of hundereds of dollars per minute. Yes, I said per minute because that is the amount of time most of us are with a doctor. On to the part about being charged two fees when we ask a question about our health when we are at the doctors office for a physcial exam. What an oxymoron. Sometimes the question or concern is not an "acute complaint" but something that jars our memories when it is initiated by a doctor's question "do you have any other questions or concerns". Here is an idea, instead of telling us with your own words how the governement is in control of the amount you doctors charge, you could share with us some resourses we can explore to educate ourselves on how the cost of medical treatment has been so grossly taken advantage of!
Wow your about totally clueless, did you just start paying attention to US politics and economics this year. The GOP has been in the back pockets of big business for the past CENTURY. The left only started to follow the right about 30-40 years ago which is why both parties have moved to the right since the 80's.
Your totally clueless, it's hysterical.
I have long suspected that NPR had fallen to the dark side since the 200 hundred million dollar donation they recieved from Joan Krock (who had good intentions) but that kind of money attracts the nefarious in sheep's clothing. This article outlines the gap between the will of the people versus the will of the tainted charlatans who slithered thier way into key, decision making. positions in our government.
This article focuses on one company but all 3 major players in the contract food service business do much the same thing. Sodexo Aramark and Compass group have been fined at some point. This is where outsourcing fails to be an alternative to the poor management that caused the problem to begin with.
Corruption and greed is the root of this problem and outscourcing wil not necessarily make it better. The outscourcing company. will offer a low bid, the set unreasonable goals for it's management team who then by necessity, cut corners at he peril of quality and service, to work within their unrealistic approved budgets. The corpotate level excutives don't want to hear the truth, they just want to see it the numbers that make them happy and keep them in their high paid jobs.
It trickles down to constant operational management and staff turnover which can be expensive.
