Got a case now where they refused to give a pretrial detainee his insulin until he fell into diabetic ketoacidosis and died.
Every few months some agitated weirdo gets upset at me over the Atlantic post I did about how the prison system ROUTINELY engages in unimaginable abuse and lets people kill themselves, because they read it as “THERE’S NO WAY EPSTEIN WAS MURDERED”

Wow, a Long Island jury awarded $112 Million to 674 immigrants who were unlawfully held by county police so they could be handed over to ICE
Federal jury awards $112M to immigrants detained by Suffolk for ICE
A federal jury found the county and the Sheriff's Office violated the Constitutional rights of 674 people.

okay I've had jobs where I worked with medical and dental insurance several times in my life, probably 5+ years at this point, and the horror I just felt reading this triggered a fight or flight response in my body

A judge in Pennsylvania’s Chester County has ordered voting to continue to 10 p.m. after unaffiliated and third-party voters were left out of poll books delivered to polling locations Tuesday morning, county officials said. If you are waiting to vote, stay in line!

Hey PA people, if you’re voting tomorrow, please vote to retain our Supreme Court judges. They voted against a high gerrymandered map and now billionaire “libertarian” Jeff Yass bankrolled for this whole “no retention” campaign.

Well in my practical experience, what's been happening is exculpatory evidence gets caught on video, but the negligence happens to vanish, and spoliation is so hard to prove, there's not much to be done about it.

When talking about my drive to be good at all things, important and stupid alike, my therapist once hit me with “do you think you come here, trying to be good at therapy?”
I mean, yeah probably. Are you saying I am?

A hospital GC blaming plaintiffs and juries for verdicts that he calls not “sustainable,” without even a whisper of recognition that juries are finding facilities are committing life-altering malpractice (let alone commitment to change to prevent it from happening) is really something.

Wow. Sidney Reid, the DC woman just found not guilty of assaulting an FBI agent, issues a withering and gutsy statement on Trump through her attorneys.
"I feel sorry for the prosecutors really, who must be burdened by Trump's irrational and unfounded hatred for his fellow man."
It's a must-read:

I say again: the ACA isn’t perfect but people either don’t remember or weren’t alive to see how bad it was before this. Should it be improved? Of course! But ::gestures wildly around for the last decade::
Are we doing "The ACA Sucks" Discourse again?
I'm going to guess most people hating on it from the left have never received a hospital bill the size of book; I put the apple there for scale.
That's the $1.3 million bill my kid incurred in his first ~94 days. Why does that make me respect the ACA?
