Here's another similar Staub affiliate site with the legendary Jane Doe, Professional Chef offering their approval. At least this one is up front that they're just in the affiliate advertising program.
There are two forms of Social Security disability benefits, one paid from payroll taxes (SSDI) and one from general tax revenues (SSI, this one). I for one was not really aware of the distinction.
From my families experience, SSI is very hard to qualify for; it’s for when you have not worked long enough to pay into and qualify for SSDI, which is more lenient. I can imagine it’s rare comparatively; especially if you don’t associate with people who have never really had a job.
I don't think it's all that rare. It's all the people that grew up with medical issues that preclude work. It's just that until the internet such people tended to be pretty isolated from most of society.
There's a longstanding issue with using Cloudflare DNS. If you change Firefox's secure DNS provider settings to NextDNS the page loads without any captcha.
This is not the longstanding Cloudflare issue. That made Archive sties totally unreachable.
This Captcha issue occurs with non-cloudflare resolvers as well, although with great inconsistency. It depends on the resolver and the user's location when they query. Results can change hours later.
"In 1997, Congress passed the Balanced Budget Act, a bipartisan effort to cut back on spending. The act put a cap on the number of annual residencies CMS would support, and froze the funding at 1996 levels. . . . Since 2007, a bill to increase the number of residencies has been introduced in every Congress . . . but never passed."
But why aren't more residencies paid for through other channels?
I wasn't under the impression that medical residents were solely a drain on hospital resources—my sense was they did a lot of the smaller tasks to free up licensed physicians to do more. At some point, if there aren't enough CMS-funded residencies and there aren't enough licensed doctors, wouldn't hospitals just start hiring more residents?
The article you linked to has a heading that touches on this ("how did we end up with Medicare basically determining the number of new doctors per year?"), but doesn't actually answer the question it poses. It explains why the government started funding residencies, but not why the industry is now completely dependent on that funding.
You would think hospitals would be because they pay the high cost for doctors.
I think rather it is a collective action problem.
Hospitals don’t want to invest 150k per resident to have that person leave the day they are done. It is common for doctors to do residency where they can and then move.
A better option would be for the fed to cut residency funding entirely and have hospitals pool resources themselves.
