    Epic drives their staff into the ground but they are a pretty cool place to work. They have been moving to a web platform for their front end and use C# so unless you were going to be working as a Technical Services rep you probably would have had an opportunity to do cool stuff on their core developer team rather than work with M (the Tech Services folks do a lot of M programming)

    It is used for SunQuest, Soft and a number of other medical software platforms. Cache Systems is actually a pretty good platform.

    At first I thought it was a ridiculous anachronistic language developed by a bunch of IT guys in the 60's that had a poor understanding of even most contemporary ideas of programming languages. now? I think it has it's place. It is very focused on mutli-dimensional arrays and makes manipulating hierarchical data structures very efficient. Another person's Perl code is easier to read but it is efficient for what it does.

    But he clearly said "pay up front for service". Maybe pay up front is strong....how about put a lien on all your own and can dip into your bank account to take money until it is repaid and the debts can not be discharged in bankruptcy.

    Maybe if the financial costs were bad enough people would stop being idiots and "choose" to buy insurance.

    you do realize that was not a lie....they are having us buy a privately operated service....the service changes and the Dr does not want to accept the service anymore the Dr goes away. The LAW does not force you to lose your doctor and it does not force you to lose your insurance. Free market changes caused insurance companies to end a program (something that happens almost every year) and doctors to think about their reimbursement rates with specific insurers (something that happens almost every month) Apparently conservatives like the free market until it negatively impacts the,.

    All of those things have to do with driving. The court has rules recently that you can not use federal funds like the highway fund to bully states to do something that they do not want to do when the funds have no relationship to the act that is being compelled.

    because of cronyism in state legislatures and a period of time where people thought they could amend their way out of corrupt practices? They could have just passed laws in each state that gave harsh fines and better oversight of the process that the state governments were involved in.

    As a liberal leaning independent I completely agree with you. Most Amendments clarify or guarantee rights that are not addressed in the constitution, the 17th flat out dumps an entire section of Article I. Usually not a good idea to change the fundamental functioning of the way the government works when it was designed to work a specific way.

    That is what is great about the new Windows 10 model....if you want stability, fine...don't take the upgrades that they will push out over time. You will not be on an old abandoned platform that may be stable but is no longer getting security updates.
