All the doctors I have been to have an accounts person or people that handle the claims and billing. It may be the case that the person they hired is not qualified to manage healthcare claims and billing as the process has changed a great deal over the last 10 years, but I would not stick this on the doctors.

Companies that employ drivers now have a new test they can perform on their employees, I don't know about you but I have no problem with companies testing their drivers for drug use.

The common core teacher evaluation works just fine, the way it works is simple the students all had to take the tests the year prior and can be given a percentile rank. If the majority go down the teacher is not performing, the variations in performance from class to class are normalized with the prior year's performance it's not as big an issue as the teachers unions make it out to be.

Charter schools are the way to go for one simple reason, if they perform poorly they can be shut down, when a public school performs poorly they are generally given more money to fix the problem. The cost per student is much higher at public schools then private/charter schools. Public schools spend $13,041 per student per year while nonreligious private spends $8,549, charter $8,001, and Catholic $6,018. On top of that charter schools outperform their neighboring public schools even though there is not a difference in demographics. I still don't understand why people think poor performing over funded public schools are the answer.

The problem with making the internet a tier II common carrier is that it will get all the regulations and control of a tier II common carrier along with a right of way to telephone poles and net neutrality. A much better solution would be to allow the internet right of way access and net neutrality, unfortunately this requires congress to create another classification which doesn't seem likely to happen in the current political climate.

Exactly you may not be specifically targeted but your identity and financial information certainly are targeted along with everyone else's.

The government use right of way laws to force private land owners to have telephone poles on their property, they did this as the poles were for a common good. The right of way laws allowed telephone, cable and power companies all access to the poles but not ISPs. Essentially they allowed a third party confiscate property and only forced them to share with two other groups as a condition of letting them confiscate it. Then a third party comes along and can make the same common good argument but was not granted right away access.

Be nice to BMG they are charging $20 for a $10 cd not $10,000 for a $5 science fiction novel.

It's not a natural monopoly ISPs are not allowed to run fiber on the telephone poles simply allowing them the same access to telephone poles as telecos and cable providers would be a hug step. That issue is the #1 problem with Google fiber moving in to many areas.

Because of how access to telephone poles is regulated there is a government controlled monopoly on the last mile. Reclassifying the internet as a common carrier utility allows IPS's access to those poles and lines to run fiber they can no longer be closed out telecos and cable providers. This is the only good to come from the reclassification. If either party truly wanted to protect the internet from government regulation and censoring while fostering competation they would create a another type of carrier classification that would severely limit the scope of government regulation while allowing ISPs to run fiber on poles.

Leaving the government out of it would be just fine no more work visa's problem solved.

There are more then enough qualified Americans to fill the jobs, it's not about lack of training it's about diluting the market and making the labor cheaper so that Bill Lumbergh's stock will go up a quarter of a point. When ever someone says that are not enough qualified Americans to do a job just remember to add at the current price point.

Anakin went from wanting to protect his family to slaughtering children and killing his wife in a few scenes. He should have drifted to the dark side over the three movies not went from squeaky clean good guy to super villain in the last 30 minutes of the 3rd film. The character development was a joke no actor could have shined that turd enough to make it passable.

If you simplify it you can understand the US's point, in the eyes of the US government Snowden is a spy. An allied country harboring a spy would be a serious betrayal and it's not that unreasonable to no longer trust that country. These US response is probably a standard response part of a boilerplate agreement on sharing intel.
