What Is The Next Shoe To Drop?

Mike Magee As Americans haltingly reemerge through the smoldering embers of the Covid-19 blaze, many wonder, “What will be the next shoe to drop?” Most realize this crisis is far from over. Erratic leadership at the top will be with us at least until the November election. And even with a successful defeat of President […]

“Obamagate” – Why Trump Shouldn’t Go There.

Mike Magee President Trump’s latest ploy to distract us from his remarkable covid-19 failure, as American deaths approach 100,000, is tossing out the vague term “Obamagate.” He presents the term in the same conspiratorial whisper voice he once used to launch and sustain the “birther campaign.” It is a mark of understandable desperation that he […]

Covid-19: A Wake-Up Call For Those Not Yet Woke.

Mike Magee Exactly one year ago, I penned a piece for Matthew Holt’s The Health Care Blog titled, “All For One, One For All.” In laying out our vulnerability, I wrote: “The U.S. has no government-directed, national health planning apparatus.

And while their early actions are paying rewards (200 deaths in Los Angeles compared to over 6300 in New York City), they recognize that only the truth […]

100,000 – 240,000 Deaths? Are you sure about that?

Mike Magee We all sort of knew this was coming. A President, who is TV bound and a (somehow) entertaining pathologic liar, gets caught up in a life or death crisis where truth and trust are prerequisites. This leaves Americans (and Cable News networks for that matter) with a difficult choice: a) Turn him off. […]

Father Greed: Vanishing Ventilators and Free Enterprise Public Health.

Mike Magee If you wanted to sum up President Trump’s two key messages this week, they would be: 1) A lot of people are going to die, and 2) Thank God for free enterprise public health. On both counts, he is on thin ground. Numbers of deaths could far exceed the 240,000 he apparently now […]
