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...
