This ensures that many middle class people will be able to receive health care in the early stages of their illnesses instead of waiting until it’s too late. It will mean that health care facilities, especially rural hospitals and clinics, will get paid for services they provide. It is a win-win situation. Many people worked hard and gagged at the compromises they had to make. But the result is...
A humor columnist and a spiritual guide walked into a coffee shop, and it wasn’t a joke. Really. It was, in fact, more like a blind date only, y’know, not as creepy as that sounds. OK, I’ll admit it.

I said, yeah, sure, why not, sounds great. And even though the situation sounds a little like the plot openi...
