  • Gray Behind Bars: The Growing Crisis of Aging Inmates in U.S. Prisons

    Gray Behind Bars: The Growing Crisis of Aging Inmates in U.S. Prisons
    2025/08/08
    The aging population in U.S. prisons has become an increasingly urgent issue, with a growing number of elderly inmates incarcerated. As the U.S. prison system continues to grapple with this issue the elderly population—often suffering from chronic health conditions—presents unique challenges. Older prisoners tend to require more medical care, and their declining health can strain already-overburdened prison healthcare systems. Additionally, the cost of housing elderly prisoners is higher, prompting debates about the ethics and practicality of keeping aging individuals incarcerated for crimes committed long ago, especially those who pose little threat to society.

  • Pharmacy Closings and Pharmacy Benefit Managers

    Pharmacy Closings and Pharmacy Benefit Managers
    2025/08/01
    Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs) play a powerful role in the U.S. healthcare system by managing prescription drug benefits for insurers, employers, and government programs. However, their complex pricing models, rebate structures, and reimbursement practices have drawn criticism for contributing to rising healthcare costs and the closure of corporate and independent pharmacies. This has led to financial strain on large and small pharmacies, forcing many to shut down, which reduces patient access to essential medications and care—especially in underserved communities—while doing little to reduce out-of-pocket costs for consumers.

  • Public School Student Enrollment Continues To Fall

    Public School Student Enrollment Continues To Fall
    2025/07/25
    Enrollment levels in United States public schools have been steadily declining in recent years, a trend accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Millions of students left public school systems, with many seeking learning alternatives. This drop is driven by a combination of demographic shifts, including lower birth rates, and growing dissatisfaction with public education quality and safety. The shift raises concerns about educational equity, as underfunded schools disproportionately affect low-income and marginalized communities.

  • The Business of Youth Sports is Destroying Youth Sports

    The Business of Youth Sports is Destroying Youth Sports
    2025/07/18
    The business of youth sports in the U.S. has transformed what was once a cornerstone of childhood development into a high-stakes, profit-driven machine that is eroding its very foundation. What should be a source of joy, growth, and community has become a system marked by exclusion, exploitation, and pressure. Private clubs and elite travel teams prey on families' hopes, demanding thousands of dollars for access to opportunities that were once freely available in schools and local leagues. Those who cannot afford to buy in are left behind, not because of lack of talent, but because they lack the financial means to participate.

  • Spending Cuts To School Lunch Program

    Spending Cuts To School Lunch Program
    2025/07/11
    Budget cuts to USDA food programs, like the ones that provide meals to schools and food banks, are becoming a big problem in the United States. These programs such as the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) help to provide lunch to students, and food banks. But because of recent government spending cuts, this could make it harder for families to get healthy food, which is especially important for many disadvantaged kids who often rely on school lunch for their daily meals.

  • Dialysis Centers in America: Low Quality Patient Care for High Profits

    Dialysis Centers in America: Low Quality Patient Care for High Profits
    2025/07/04

    Many dialysis centers in the U.S. operate under a profit-over-people model, prioritizing financial gain over patient care. Dominated by a few large for-profit corporations, these centers often cut corners—understaffing facilities, rushing treatments, and neglecting critical safety protocols—to maximize revenue. As a result, in a recent CBS news investigation it has been discovered that many centers are plagued by poor conditions, including overworked and unqualified staff, leading to increased risks and death for some patients. This corporate-driven fast food model approach has drawn criticism for putting vulnerable lives at risk in the name of cost efficiency and increase shareholder value.

    Trapped With Nowhere To Go: Senior Living in the U.S.
    2025/06/27
    Exploring the growing challenges facing America’s aging population in securing affordable, accessible, and safe housing. As more seniors find themselves struggling with rising costs, outdated infrastructure, and limited options. I review a story out of Missouri City, TX where senior residents have lived in a apartment building for 2 months without a working elevator. This highlights the systemic issues and poor solutions shaping the future of senior living in 2025 and failure of the public and private sectors to face the realities of a population that is living longer without adequate options to quality housing.
