CUNY adjuncts still don't know what will happen with their Health Insurance as of April 30. Probably nothing.
So much for Whatever.
(Sorry, I posted this prematurely. I was trying to write a whole history of this problem but got overwhelmed. Will update when I can, and I hope I am proved wrong in my prognostications.) Read below the fold...

It's been too long since I posted an update on my own personal health insurance parasite, Wellpoint. But they have been busy little bees! Presented for your consideration: how Wellpoint will make gobs of cash out of Medicaid thanks to the "ACA"! (Yes, I'm quoting the entire story here. Every line is a gem!)

Salon.com has a piece up urging Democrats to dump Obama and go with a candidate who will restore their party to its New Deal era politics. According to the column by Matt Stoller, there are a number of reasons why they should, including: Read below the fold...
