According to the article, they're "gaming the system" mostly by providing high-quality medical care that does not result in readmittance for the same problem and expanding their ability to treat patients efficiently.

How dare they!

Given that the law was supposed to target those dudes and make life harder for them, they're at least doing an end-run around the bureaucracy.

I notice a trend. Any time any press release comes out now, about anything...
...and warned that budget cuts could limit future efforts...

Pricks.

Michelle Obama hates rap. Also confused about how college works.
But priorities should change, she said, because "getting an education is as important if not more important than it was back when this university was founded."

Yeah, education is important. If only universities provided some.

Speech on Thursday.
The speech is a follow-up to Obama's State of the Union pledge to "continue to engage Congress to ensure not only that our targeting, detention and prosecution of terrorists remains consistent with our laws and system of checks and balances, but that our efforts are even more transparent to the American people and to the world."

Sounds like a hell of a summer comedy to me.

I have been tempted to post something about the IRS and the AP spying on Facebook, directed at my relatives.... to see if they have even heard of it. But I won't.

"IRS scandal is worst government scandal in history."

Argues because past scandals were insider stuff/monetary/cronyism, whereas this IRS thing was a direct attack against American people.

He spent the majority of tonight's opening monologue continuing this sort of thing.

Comraderie and solidarity permeate administration.
The Justice Department inspector general said Monday that the former U.S. attorney in Phoenix retaliated against the main whistleblower in a botched federal gun operation by leaking information to a television producer that was meant to harm the whistleblower’s credibility.

The federal government has really developed an overall us-versus-them mentality towards the citizenry. We've become the Stanford prison experiment of modern democracy.

How long before there's a reality show that elects a member of Congress for some shitty district that no one cares about?

C-SPAN just shows the lazy bureaucrats in their natural habitat.

Obama administration admits to targeting and killing 4 Americans.

Now in Obama's defense, I'm ok with killing American citizens without trial in certain situations. For example: If they're the new leader of Al Queda and are sitting in some bunker in the Middle East. Fuck them.

However, if they are on American soil, I believe arrest should be the first option.

Anyway, I love this news story because what more can this guy do to break every promise he made and shit all over the beliefs of the folks who voted for him?
