A waffle with some questions on Non Profits.... Why did a hospital bill in 2007 only to refund the full payment in 2026....how is that good for patients?
@RepSuhas their family being in trouble is not a US government issue.... if they were but if you know their relatives are in trouble that leads us to believe you found out from the citizen still here...so the one you are responsible for isn't actually in trouble
@Sabina_Smith_ your job is to herd cats smarter than you that are capable of doing the actual task but get distracted easily ...its really not that hard to describe
@ChrisForPA he doesn't want to solve anything 800k people work in private insurance and he has no answer after Medicare for all...what benefits for all too
"if Appalachia was a third world nation for white people"
You'd get an economy roughly the size of Spain's, divided among half as many people, giving you a GDP per capita comparable to Finland or Canada.
Finance & manufacturing are the top industries (15.6% & 14.1% of regional GDP, respectively). Note the irrelevance of tourism (3% of GDP) compared to other 'third world nations.'
Appalachistan would have a slightly lower Gini coefficient (less income inequality) than the U.S. as a whole. The unemployment rate is ~4%, comparable to the rest of the U.S. & half of France's.
Counting associates degrees + bachelors, Appalachistan would have a tertiary educational attainment rate of 39%, higher than the EU.
Counting bachelor's degrees only (4 yrs in the U.S. vs. 3 yrs in the EU, so biased toward EU), Appalachistan's educational attainment is comparable to Germany (29% vs 30%).
@emiliasafin first sentence... again once the state funds you... you are no longer a charity and become a state program...she received 3 mil annually from her theme park with 6 to 8 mil annually from music... she has the money just easier to have the state pay
@emiliasafin like you want millionaires and billionaires paying their fair share... well starting a charity and expecting the state to fund it is not paying her share
@emiliasafin This isn''t the own you think it is... She received a ton of money from Dollywood and her previous career... started a charity with her money then stopped, making it not a charity and became a state funded program still named after her... she could have funded it the whole time
