Not defending anyone here. But the malpractice thing is likely true. Due to our states terrible tort laws the last two malpractice carriers that will service providers in the commonwealth have said they will likely pull out - leaving providers without insurance. So many hospitals and groups are setting up their own insurance companies that are self funded. The federal government requires that money to be held off shore. Not sure why. Many choose the caymans. I doubt the islands require in person meeting. But they likely wrote the bylaws of the entity to require that so they got a trip paid for. Our state hates doctors. Between that and the certificate of need laws we cannot recruit or retain physicians.
@ScottPresler@MittRomney What exactly has @BillCassidy done lately to improve our struggling health care system? Mitt is - like so many politicians - full of hollow words.

@isaacrrr7 Literally wtf. China turned out to be effin temu of military powers. They had no answer to American might. Zero. They tried and failed. They are killing their engineers bc they failed. The American/Japanese alliance is going to be unstoppable.
To my American friends,
I want to speak from the heart, because this moment truly moved me as a Japanese citizen.
When President Trump made that Pearl Harbor joke, it wasn’t just humor to us. It felt like a weight I’d carried my whole life was suddenly lifted. My chest tightened, and honestly, tears came close.
For 80 long years, we Japanese have lived under a heavy shadow — the constant expectation to apologize, to reflect, to stay in “guilt mode.” Even though we’re the closest of allies, that old wound never fully healed. We felt bound by the past, by the Constitution America helped write for us, always a little smaller, always needing to prove we were sorry enough.
But in that single joke, Trump did something powerful. He turned a painful history into a shared laugh between equals. It was like he was saying:
“Hey, it was a long time ago. We’re good. Let’s move forward — as brothers.”
No more endless atonement. No more living in the shadow of being the “former enemy.” The curse broke. Japan feels free to stand tall again.
Right now, cherry blossoms are blooming beautifully all across Japan. 🌸
This spring, the sakura feels like a perfect symbol — a fresh beginning. Not two nations stuck in old roles, but true equals, proud brothers, shoulder to shoulder, ready to build the future together.
To the American people:
We don’t want to be subordinates forever. We want to be your real partners — strong, proud, and loyal. The kind of allies who ride or die together.
Thank you, Mr. President.
Thank you, America.
The strongest alliance in the world is rising again — as equals, as brothers, forever.
