Health care spending to accelerate, report says
The nation’s respite from accelerating health care costs appears to be over. Spending on health care will outpace the nation’s overall economic growth over the next decade, the government forecast Tuesday, underscoring a coming challenge for the next president, not to mention taxpayers, businesses and individual Americans. A combination of expanded insurance coverage under President Barack Obama’s law, an aging population and rising demand will be squeezing society’s ability to pay. By 2019, midway through the next president’s term, health care spending will be increasing at roughly 6 percent a year, compared to an average annual rise of 4 percent from 2008 through 2013.

Woodrow Wilson was a leading progressive who campaigned for workers’ rights and was a seminal force in the creation of the League of Nations. He was also a segregationist. And a racist. “Wilson was a racist for his time,” said Eastern Washington University public history professor Larry Cebula. The 28th president’s term ended in 1921 and he died in 1924. “In a racist age, he was particularly racist,” Cebula said. That legacy prompted a Tacoma man to ask Spokane Public Schools recently to change the name of Wilson Elementary on Spokane’s South Hill. Dan Hasty, of Tacoma, said he lives near that city’s Woodrow Wilson High School. The former president’s policies and views on race have bothered him for years, he said. “You know it just isn’t right,” Hasty said. “As a black kid you have the choice of sitting down in a building that honors this individual, or not going to public school.”
Spokane City Council requires two firefighters on calls for help
At least two firefighters must respond to a call for help, the Spokane City Council decided Monday in a surprise decision that not even the fire chief was briefed on until just prior to the vote. The requirement raises questions about the future of the city’s “Alternative Response Units,” which were formed in 2013 in response to long-standing concerns that the department was over-responding to minor medical emergencies with multiple firefighters in gas-guzzling firetrucks. Fire officials had long argued that they needed to be in firetrucks so they would be ready for any call. But they said that position shifted with the increasing load of medical calls and budget crunches.

Former Clinton Staffer Just Came Forward With A BOMBSHELL About Hillary’s Past She Wanted Buried
It would seem that, for Hillary and Bill and the Democrats who want another Clinton in the Oval Office, the chickens are coming home to roost…and quite possibly creating a messy panic in the coop. Just one day after Western Journalism told you about the new scandal-hunting website launched by Kathleen Willey — who famously claimed the former president sexually assaulted her in the White House — another key figure from the Clintons’ questionable past has leveled her own scathing charges against Hillary. In a Daily Mail exclusive, the British newspaper reveals that the woman who outed Monica Lewinsky for her affair with President Clinton is now on the warpath against Hillary. Citing the then-first lady as a “destroyer” who ruthlessly attacked and ruined the reputations of many women linked sexually to her husband, Linda Tripp is quoted in the Daily Mail as saying that Hillary Clinton “must never become president” because she’s a devious and manipulative liar.
