Happy Monday everyone. Sean here, with the “I” news team bringing you a few under-reported items from last week. Stay tuned for the Inspirational, the Inscrutable and the Indefensible. You decide if any of it is Indispensable.
The Inspirational:
James Krenov died last week. He was an artist, writer and philosopher who left an indelible mark upon this world.

The Department of Health & Human Services then sent a letter to Humana as well as all the other private insurance providers of the Medicare Advantage programs essentially saying: “Shut-up… or else.” Click here to read all the gruesome details of central power run amok.
