Prospect Weekend Reads
Week of April 24th
Stories from the week you don't want to miss!
[link removed]
RAWPIXEL/FREERANGE
Born to Die
<[link removed]>:
Medicare spent an estimated $22.4 billion paying hospice providers last
year. According to a new study, the industry has been rife with grifts
since 2010, while bureaucrats have been largely content keeping it that
way. Maureen Tkacik has the story.
Pre-Farewell to First Republic
<[link removed]>:
First Republic wants big banks to overpay for its bonds, reasoning that
FDIC assessments would cost them more. Since it would be beneficial for
just one bank to take the losses, there's a game of chicken over who
will take the fall. Read David Dayen on the impossible choices at play.
Republicans' War on Their Own Mental Health
<[link removed]>:
A Mississippi federal ruling recently declared that the state's school
vaccination requirement, which left room for no exceptions, must now
reintroduce a religious exemption. The ruling, Ryan Cooper argues, is
emblematic of Republicans' turn against their own health.
The Hedge Fund's Man at the Democratic National Committee
<[link removed]>:
DNC senior adviser Cedric Richmond supports a hedge fund takeover of 60
TV stations, which would certainly squash local news and result in mass
layoffs. In opposition are journalists' unions, Democratic officials,
and the FCC. Harold Meyerson has the story.
Clean-Power Group Supports Dirty Energy
<[link removed]>:
The American Clean Power Association is commonly described as the
leading trade association in the clean energy industry. But as Dorothy
Slater from the Revolving Door Project reports, they have deep ties with
the fossil fuel industry.
