POPIEL: When a law protecting patients ends up costing them more

If you’ve gone to a hospital that’s in your insurance network, you probably assume every doctor you see there is also in-network. That used to be a risky assumption. Before 2022, many patients were shocked to get massive medical bills after getting care from doctors who, unknown to them, weren’t in their insurance network, even though the hospital was. To fix this, Congress passed the No Surprises Act. It was designed to protect patients from these surprise bills, and to […]

KNAPP: Why not take Congressional proxy voting all the way?

The Hill reports that US House Republicans, who made a show earlier this year of opposing remote and proxy voting in Congress, are warming to the latter practice. US Representative Paul Mitchell (R-MI) gave his proxy to US Representative Abigail Spanberger (D-VA) in early December, declaring by tweet that “I will not risk my family’s health in order to vote on key items.” Fast-food cooks and grocery store cashiers don’t get to assign their work to proxies. They show up […]

Federal judge rejects citizenship question on 2020 census

NEW YORK (UPI) -- A Federal judge ordered Tuesday that the Trump administration remove a question about U.S. citizenship on the 2020 census. U.S. District Judge Jesse Furman said Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross exceeded his authority under Federal law by adding the question to next year's census. "Secretary Ross's decision to add a citizenship question in the 2020 census -- even if it did not violate the Constitution itself -- was unlawful for a multitude of independent reasons and must be […]

Trump would ‘absolutely consider’ delay on government shutdown

WASHINGTON (UPI) -- The White House and congressional negotiators are considering a bill that would delay a government shutdown after the death of former President George H.W. Bush. President Donald Trump said Saturday that if approached by members of Congress he would likely grant a request to push the deadline back, while funeral plans for Bush, whose body is set to lie in state at the Capitol, are being completed. "If they come -- which they have -- to talk […]

Decision 2018

Early votes could push midterm turnout above 50 percent

WASHINGTON (UPI) -- More than 35 million people cast an early vote or absentee vote for the 2018 elections, an increase of more than 58 percent from 2014, preliminary data indicates. The midterm elections are seeing an unusually high number of early voters -- early voting in 27 states alone total more than totaled early votes nationwide for 2014 -- which likely means a historic boost to overall voter turnout for 2018. Midterm elections have historically low turnout numbers, rarely […]

Two millennial women face off in tight Detroit area House race

CANTON, Mich. (UPI) -- The affluent suburbs northwest of Detroit will send a millennial woman to Congress in November. The question is, will the voters of Michigan's 11th District stick with the Republican Party -- as they have for most of the last 135 years -- by electing Lena Epstein, 37, or step out of their comfort zone to elect a Democrat, 35-year-old Haley Stevens? The verdant subdivisions and lake communities of the district have sent a male Republican to […]

SPRINGFIELD (Heartland Newsfeed) -- Candidates, party officers and volunteers representing the Libertarian Party of Illinois delivered nearly 48,000 signatures for the statewide slate of candidates Monday morning to the state's board of elections in Springfield. Prior to walking in, party chairman Bennett Morris showed local media the stack of petitions which had to be carried in a box, showing the unfair advantage that the Democratic Party and the Republican Party have when it comes to petitioning compared to independents and […]

HAMILTON: Congress tanks, but does it care?

We’re at a watershed moment in American political history. Our Congress — I’m talking about the people’s body, the institution created by our founders, and not just the men and women who currently inhabit it — is in deep trouble. And no one seems to be offering hope. Its public standing is abysmal, occasionally dropping into the single digits in polling. Very few people seem to respect it, even on Capitol Hill. Small surprise, as the Pew Research Center reported […]

Illinois’ congressional delegations split on significance of FISA abuse memo

WASHINGTON (Illinois News Network) -- Illinois’ congressional delegation is split along party lines on whether the controversial memo released Friday exposes inherent bias in the FBI against the Trump administration or if it’s meant to undermine law enforcement investigating the Trump campaign's ties to Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. The Republican-crafted memo was released Friday after it got the green light to be declassified from the White House. It alleges leadership at the FBI and the Department of Justice […]
