It’s as rural as rural gets in America, 116 miles from the nearest “big” city, Idaho Falls, and a seemingly unlikely place to find support for the expansion of a government program like Medicaid. But Beyeler, a long-time Republican and former state legislator who was hardly a fan of Obamacare when it passed, has become an advocate for Idaho’s Proposition 2, which aims to expand Medicaid eligibility across the state and "close the gap" of people without health care coverage.

Trump's negatives add upRe: "Trump says he erred in remark with Putin — Amid furor, he now says he agrees with intel agencies' view that Russians interfered," Wednesday news story. I have been a Donald Trump backer from the beginning. Skeptical now! Ever aware of the multitude of falsehoods he's spoken. But name a politician who doesn't misrepresent the truth — and often.Trump's accomplishments since he's been in office are overwhelming: jobs, tax reductions, economy, etc. But his appearance with President Valdimir Putin after their meeting showed the real Trump. He looked like a "whipped pup" when he entered the room. He wasn't the same old in-your-face, fiery, argumentative name-caller as before. His demeanor completely changed.

An overlooked WWI legacy: maternal and child health in sub-Saharan Africa
An overlooked WWI legacy: maternal and child health in sub-Saharan Africa Author : Chris SimmsChris Simms is an Assistant Professor in the School of Health Administration, Dalhousie University, Halifax, NS, Canada An important legacy of World War I was the rise of maternal and child health care in many European centres; a related yet overlooked legacy is the simultaneous transfer of these services to their colonial possessions during the years of conflict and those immediately following.In England, the surge of maternal and child health care was prompted by humanitarianism and concerns about the loss of lives, plummeting birth rates, a depleted workforce, and the ability of the Empire to defend itself. Women’s groups, medical associations, religious charities, and other parts of civil society contributed to the development of services. The provision of antenatal care, delivery assistance at birth, and health education in the areas of hygiene and nutrition - … [Read more...] about An overlooked WWI legacy: maternal and child health in sub-Saharan Africa
