Dear Readers,
Happy New Year!
As we look toward the new year, let’s take a moment to reflect on the year passed—and let’s be bold enough to hope for change.
This week’s articles provide valuable insights into the challenges and solutions that shaped 2024, covering topics from healthcare to government spending and bureaucracy. Raymond J. March discusses the ongoing drug shortages and the potential of telemedicine as a modern solution. Kristian Fors highlights how California’s DMV is making positive changes, while Craig Eyermann, in a pair of articles, takes us inside the surprising defeat of a massive spending bill during the government shutdown saga, exploring where the funds went and what areas may need attention in 2025.
Here's to learning from 2024 and striving for improvement in the year ahead!
