As I have been writing, from the moment it was finally proved that the El Paso Children’s Hospital is financially unfeasible, it will be your taxes that will keep it operational.

The less information we had to work with, the easier it was to label any discord as nothing more than the rantings of the crazies. Without verifiable information it was easy […]

I Must Hate Mexicans
I am used to getting all sorts of emails and communications about controversial blogs. It is not surprising that Monday’s blog resulted in the many normal comments that I get.

Is El Paso Children’s Hospital Violating HIPAA?
I was doing some last minute research for tomorrow’s article on the El Paso Children’s Hospital and UMC when I came across the children’s hospital Facebook page and I noticed something disturbing.

Why El Paso Children’s Hospital Should File for Bankruptcy
Notwithstanding the political rhetoric emanating from Veronica Escobar and other politicians intimately involved in the children’s hospital fiasco, the fact is that the El Paso Children’s Hospital should file for bankruptcy. Even though the El Paso Times, masquerading as a newspaper, opines that the filing of a bankruptcy would be detrimental to the city, the […]
