Poor People Choose to Be Poor, says ‘Professional Plaintiff’ and Children’s Book Author Cory Groshek

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Poor people are poor because they choose to be poor, says 'professional plaintiff' turned children's book author Cory Groshek, who is also the founder of personal growth and development brand Manifestation Machine.

It isn't that Groshek doesn't like poor people; he just doesn't want to be one of them. And he doesn't want your children to be one of them, either, which is why he published his debut, middle-grade fiction book, "Breaking Away: Book One of the Rabylon Series" (ISBN: 978-1946029003), in late 2016, as a means of teaching children and their parents about what he calls "the success-oriented mindset we all need to achieve financial freedom."

Groshek, who became infamous in June 2016, when the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel ran what he calls "a defamatory hit-piece" on him entitled "'Professional plaintiff' uses credit law to threaten companies, win $230,000 in settlements," has, by his own admission, earned nearly three quarters of a million dollars to date - far more than has previously been reported-through private legal settlements with almost 50 American companies over what he calls their "willful violations of their job applicants' and employees' rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act" (known as the FCRA, for short). Accordingly, he believes that he is uniquely qualified to dispense advice to others with regards to their financial futures.

"I didn't earn all of this settlement money by accident. I earned it, despite me not being an attorney and having no legal background or negotiating experience to speak of, for one reason and one reason only: I know how to create my own reality," says Groshek. "And with God as my witness, I am going to teach everyone with ears to hear to do the same, because the last thing I want is to see our kids growing up to become what I was just a little over three years ago."

A little over three years ago, Groshek says he was "30, going on 31 years old," living paycheck to paycheck, stuck in a dead-end, customer service call center job, sleeping on his retired father's couch, and in over $10,000 of credit card debt.

But now, he is financially independent, the owner of his own business (Manifestation Machine), living in a paid-off house, and completely debt-free, thanks to what he calls "the four C's of success," his personal process for manifesting what he calls "a life worth dying for"-a process which is embodied in his children's book and which he hopes to soon "bring to the masses" via a soon-to-be-released series of "metaphysical self-help books" and seminars geared toward helping adults become successful.

"As much as it may pain the general population for me to say this, the truth is, poor people are poor because they choose to be poor, just like I'm financially independent because it's what I choose to be," Groshek says. "When most people wake up every day, they focus not on what they want, but on what they don't want, or, in other words, they make their decisions based on fear, rather than on faith, and it's for that reason that they attract more and more of what they don't want into their lives, as opposed to what they do want.

"But through my book and my brand, I can and I will change that, even if it means rubbing a lot of people 'the wrong way', because I'm here to tell people what they need to hear, not what they want to hear, which is the truth-even if it hurts."

"Breaking Away: Book One of the Rabylon Series," which follows two young bunnies, Remy and Rhea, as they attempt to escape their impoverished, North-Korea-like village of Rabylon for the promise of abundance and prosperity that lies just on the other side of a big, green hill, is available now as a Kindle e-book, Audible audio book, and in paperback.

Troubling Trend of Increased Zip-Line Injuries Addressed In Published Article By Christina Walsh, JD and Bernard F. Walsh, Esq.

BRADENTON, Fla. -- An article co-written by Christina Walsh JD, and Personal Injury Attorney Bernard F. Walsh of the Bradenton, Florida office of Shapiro Goldman Babboni Fernandez & Walsh, has been published in the 2017 Summer Edition of The Trial Lawyer.

Entitled, "Zip-Line & Pre-Injury Releases," the article brings attention to the troubling rise of serious and fatal accidents arising from zip-lining at private businesses. The article cites a study by the American Journal of Emergency Medicine which examined zip-line accidents nationally from 1997 to 2012.

The study found that over the sixteen year period, nearly 17,000 people were treated for zip-line related injuries, and that the injuries were most common in children and teenagers. The article makes particular note of the apparent spike in the frequency of accidents over the last four years, with nearly ten injuries per day.

The article also points out that while not included in the study, there were more than six deaths from zip-line accidents in 2015 alone, and that the number of both commercial and amateur zip-lines in outdoor educational programs, camps and backyards has increased dramatically as well, to more than 13,000.

In addition to the sheer number of injuries, the study found that many of the injuries sustained from zip-lining were quite serious and included, traumatic head injury, spinal cord injury, broken bones, torn ligaments, ripped muscles, friction burns, lost digits as well as deaths as a result from collisions with other riders, trees and structures or failure of equipment.

Having defined the very real risk and frequency of serious injury and death resulting from zip-line accidents, the article focuses on strategies plaintiff's attorneys should consider when representing victims of zip-line accidents in personal injury cases, and how to overcome the pre-injury release forms most injured parties would have been made to sign. Additionally, many of the zip-line operators have elected not to carry liability insurance.

As with many dangerous outdoor activities such as tandem skydiving and parasailing, participants are usually required to sign a pre-injury release agreement before participating. Such agreements are designed to release the activity provider from any legal liability should injury occur. However in some cases, these agreements are poorly drafted or other circumstances affect the case that will allow an attorney to win compensation for an injured client.

Co-author of the article injury attorney Bernard F. Walsh offered this comment about the article, "It's easy to see the appeal zip-lining has, especially for young people. On the surface, zip-lining looks like a fun and exciting outdoor activity that would be a memorable experience.

"However, while collaborating with my daughter to outline the dangers and legal perils of zip-lining, it has become clear that serious injuries from zip-lining are surprisingly common, and that this industry, like so many others has adopted the practice of requiring a pre-injury release which in many cases will make obtaining medical compensation for injuries from equipment failures or a negligent operation much more difficult for a plaintiff's legal team. Additionally, many of the zip-line operations have elected to carry no liability insurance."

Dr. Harte and the ‘Health Care’ Debate – A Loss of Health AND Liberty

CORTE MADERA, Calif. -- Dr. Don Harte, noted chiropractic activist and former Libertarian State Senate candidate, is offended by the current debate on so-called "health care," and thinks that you should be, too.

"This is a created, an imagined problem of government being responsible for propping up an already highly profitable industry - Medicine," according to Dr. Harte.

Dr. Harte asks, "Have you wondered what might be wrong with an industry that no one can afford? This was the excuse for Obamacare; especially that everyone needed 'access.' 'Access' to what they politely call 'pain management' has led to our opioid crisis. Obamacare made Medicine far less affordable, while Big Pharma made more money than ever. American Medicine now approaches one-fifth of the economy."

According to Dr. Harte, "Politically popular social trends, have, through the current propaganda, become integral to what many now consider 'health care.' Included are things that are clearly an individual's choice and responsibility, such as birth control and transgender treatment and surgery. The 'righteous' religious overtones of this part of the debate neglect the previously held medical ethic that you do not cut into healthy tissue. Nor should doctors be prescribing lifelong sex hormones, which are steroids, that will cause a myriad of health problems, up to and including cancer. More business for Medicine!"

"The adoption of Medicine as a government responsibility, thereby shared by all taxpayers, and as the latest 'human right,'" Dr. Harte observes, "directly declares Medicine as the new State Religion. Those who question are to be branded heretics, as already happens in the case of mandatory toxic vaccinations."

"I will not be a slave," declares Dr. Harte. "Nor should any other doctor of any kind; nor nurses, techs or support staff in offices and hospitals."

Dr. Harte advises, "Isn't it time that we consider the fact that Medicine, Big Pharma and their government 'health' agencies are clearly making us sicker, while bankrupting both families and our government? Shouldn't we, as a free people, have a conversation as to whether we want sick care, or actual health care, as the opposing paradigm, Chiropractic, offers?"

About Dr. Harte:
Dr. Don Harte, former medical student, is a traditional chiropractor serving the Greater San Francisco Bay Area since 1981. Dr. Harte was named 2006 "Chiropractor of the Year" by the World Chiropractic Alliance (WCA). He has served on the Boards of the WCA and the Council on Chiropractic Practice.

Attorney Bernard Walsh Recommends Increased Safety Regulations and Label Warnings Are Needed for Energy Drinks After Teen Death

BRADENTON, Fla. -- The report that a teenager died as a result of drinking an energy drink in combination with other caffeinated drinks has prompted calls for improved safety regulations on energy supplements by Attorney Bernard F. Walsh.

Personal injury Attorney Bernard F. Walsh has called for improved safety regulations of energy drinks following the death of a teenager as a result of consuming multiple caffeinated drinks. Several news outlets have reported on the death of a teenager that was caused by consuming several caffeinated drinks including a coffee, a soft drink and an energy drink within a short span of time.

Often taken for granted, and nearly ubiquitous in soft drinks, many do not realize that caffeine is a drug. Classified as a central nervous system stimulant, caffeine is legal and unregulated in nearly all parts of the world. However, with the increasing popularity of so-called energy drinks, caffeine is also frequently being included with a host other ingredients designed to increase alertness while maintaining a sweet taste that is easy to drink.

Many such "energy drinks" are also readily available in large, multi-serving containers, and often are marketed specifically to young people.

Personal Injury Attorney Bernard Walsh of the Bradenton office of Shapiro Goldman Babboni Fernandez & Walsh had this comment on the safety of energy drinks, "While it's certainly true that in most cases caffeine has been a safe addition to beverages for many years, the potential harm of highly potent, multi-serving energy drinks should be cause for concern. Many do not know that due to their classification as dietary supplements, energy drinks are not regulated by the FDA allowing manufacturers to sidestep limits on caffeine.

"Many such drinks contain a potent combination of large amounts of caffeine combined with vitamins and any number of additional herbal extracts without any regulatory oversight by the FDA. When you combine that, with the fact that many energy drinks are developed to taste similar to sweet soft drinks and the fact that they are often sold in large cans with multiple servings, the potential danger to children and individuals with heart health issues raises concerns.

"As with many other potentially harmful products such as e-cigarettes, energy drinks are frequently marketed to a younger audience. Given the tragic events in South Carolina, I urge lawmakers to re-think the rules about energy drinks to reflect the reality of the supplements and drinks that are being marketed to young people."

Open Letter from City Leaders Calls for Prevailing Wages in State Housing Reforms

SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- In an open letter that ran as a full page ad in today's Sacramento Bee, elected leaders from six of California's eight largest cities called on California Governor Jerry Brown and the State Legislature to include prevailing wage standards in state housing reforms. The ad was paid for by Smart Cities Prevail (SCP).

The Legislature is currently considering a range of proposals aimed at combating California's persistent housing affordability crisis.

Click Here to View the Ad (PDF): http://www.smartcitiesprevail.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/SacBeeAd.pdf.

Smart Cities Prevail (SCP) is a non-profit research organization that focuses on wage policies and contracting standards in the construction industry. The ad was signed by a group of local elected officials from the cities of San Diego, Los Angeles, San Jose, San Francisco, Oakland, and Sacramento.

The ad references ongoing efforts to streamline more housing development - with several proposals under consideration to combat California's persistent housing affordability crisis again this year.

"Real housing reform needs to do more than simply streamline more development," the leaders write. "We need to promote investment in the people who are doing the building, and struggling to pay the rent in our communities."

The ad highlights findings from a new SCP study entitled, "The Value of Linking Good Construction Jobs to California's Housing Reforms (http://www.smartcitiesprevail.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/SCP_HousingReport.0314.pdf)."

Utilizing Economic Census data and industry standard data analysis, this study highlights how a variety of factors are contributing to California's housing affordability crisis-including significant increases in profits for developers and builders, shrinking wages for blue-collar construction workers, and declining productivity for the construction industry as a whole. It concludes that including prevailing wage standards in state housing reforms would help the industry attract and develop the skills needed to boost housing supply, while also helping to close the affordability gap for working families, reducing racial disparities in pay, and saving taxpayers tens of millions of dollars per year by reducing reliance on public assistance.

"With real blue-collar construction wages down 25 percent over the last two decades, the suggestion that labor costs hinder the construction of more housing supply is simply not supported by the facts or the financial realities of the industry," said study author Alex Lantsberg. "With housing prices and profits soaring, the industry is well positioned to invest in productivity and affordability for its own workforce. We can make good progress towards both objectives by incorporating prevailing wage standards into state housing reforms."

Smart Cities Prevail has also posted today's open letter online. Members of the public who want to lend their voice in support of including prevailing wage in state housing reforms can do so at: http://www.smartcitiesprevail.org/housingpetition/.

Smokers’ Rights Group Objects to NYC Council Anti-Smoker Measures

BROOKLYN, N.Y. -- Smokers' right group NYC Citizens Lobbying Against Smoker Harassment (C.L.A.S.H.) was courteously extended a personal invitation by the office of the NYC Council to attend and provide testimony at the Health Committee hearing being held Thursday on a package of ten anti-smoker proposals. The invitation was initially accepted but now we decline.

C.L.A.S.H. founder, Audrey Silk, recalls, "At the end of 2010 when I testified against the council's plan to ban smoking in parks and on beaches I ended my statement with this: Approve this and soon I'll be here again testifying against your plan to ban smoking in homes. Well I don't think so."

Of course we were assured it would never come to that. But today, this hearing includes a bill to ban smoking inside apartments of city-financed apartment buildings and another creates the conditions for privately owned multi-unit dwellings to consider doing the same by forcing owners to single out the subject of smoking in lease documents.

Our previous concerns vindicated we now stand by our word that airing objections at what amounts to no more than a pro forma proceeding on a preordained conclusion is not only a waste of time but beneath our dignity. Rather, C.L.A.S.H.'s position, as further stated at that last time at bat, is to advocate peaceful individual resistance. Good men disobey bad laws. One need only to take a stroll in a park or on a beach today to see this is what has unfolded.

While C.L.A.S.H. will not be physically present at the hearing, testimony will be submitted on paper for the sake of the historical documentation of our objections. For the record, it will include the following:

* Int 1140-2016, sponsored by Council Member Fernando Cabrera, seeks to prohibit smoking and vaping (of electronic cigarettes) in vehicles when a child under the age of 8 is present.

Congratulations for giving police officers a beautiful way to get around the clamp down on stop, question and frisk! Pulling people over for something as inane as smoking as an excuse to probe for more is a gift. I should know. I'm retired NYPD.

* Int 0977-2015, sponsored by Council Member Donovan J. Richards, will ban smoking inside apartments of city financed buildings.

Congratulations for putting more minorities out of their homes to loiter on the sidewalks and attract the attention of the police while the more affluent get to remain comfortably and safely in their homes!

* Int 1544-2017, sponsored by Council Member Corey D. Johnson, increases the floor price on a pack of cigarettes from $10.50 to $13.00. It also raises the price and tax on cigars, little cigars, smokeless tobacco, shisha and loose tobacco.

Congratulations for increasing the number of "buttleggers" ready to meet the demand for lower cost smokes (New York already has the highest rate of cigarette smuggling at over 55%).

So congratulations too for making it easier for minors to buy cigarettes! Teens know better than anyone else where to get "the goods." (Where do you think they get their pot?) And unlike stores no carding!

Congratulations for helping to fund terrorism and using those minors and adults to do so! Terror-tied individuals are well known to take advantage of this lucrative endeavor created by our politicians. Better a bomb that no one invites than freedom to make an invited, informed legal choice, right?

Congratulations for creating an even greater incentive to burglarize and rob bodegas and convenience stores! Many times the details in a news report include the fact that cartons of cigarettes were targeted during these crimes. And hey, that's more illicit street sales to minors. Way to go!

And a really hearty handshake and congratulations for beating out your competitor - the tobacco industry - by making more money off the sale of a pack of cigarettes than they do! Who is it really that is in the business of selling cigarettes these days?

Just last week the NY Times reported how Iraqis, liberated from ISIS control, expressed their joy. The headline read, "After ISIS, Smoking Openly to Feel Free." Our sentiments exactly. It's a matter of being let alone to live freely rather than the way demanded by a group in power.

About NYC C.L.A.S.H.:

Citizens Lobbying Against Smoker Harassment is a grassroots organization established in 2000 dedicated to advancing and protecting the interests of adults who choose to smoke cigarettes or enjoy other forms of tobacco or use electronic cigarettes.

Trump’s wrong attack on Opioid Epidemic

CORTE MADERA, Calif. -- Dr. Don Harte, chiropractic activist, says Trump's new panel, headed by Chris Christie, to deal with the opioid epidemic, is "philosophically and scientifically dead wrong."

Dr. Harte declares, "The reason for this epidemic is clear. Orthopedists and other doctors freely prescribe Oxycontin, Fentanyl, Soma and other opioid drugs, get their patients addicted, then cut them off. These patients end up seeking heroin on the street. It all begins in the doctor's office. It ends in pain, life disruption and, often, death."

"It begins with sciatica, arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, or some sports injury," Dr. Harte says. "Modern orthopedic medicine can do nothing to fix these things. This opioid epidemic is emblematic of the failure of Medicine."

Dr. Harte continues, "While they can't get you better, orthopedists can and do make conditions, and pain, worse, in two ways. Cortisone shots damage already-damaged (by anti-inflammatories) joint surfaces. Spinal surgery has such a bad record that they have a name for their failures... 'Failed back surgery syndrome.' And when joint replacements aren't right, it's disastrous!" He charges, "This is irresponsible science; it is irresponsible doctoring."

"There is no hope," says Dr. Harte, "in pain management. It fixes nothing, while causing constipation and sleep problems, lung and heart damage, as well as addiction. To empower the government to provide more and better rehab for opioid addicts, created by medical care, is not the answer! Such a safety net will likely lead to a bigger epidemic."

Dr. Harte's answer to this crisis? "The only answer to the current life-destroying opioid epidemic is to point the finger at orthopedic medicine, and lead the way to safe and effective chiropractic care, on a widespread basis. It is high time that people reject what does not work, and seek what does." He concludes, "Chiropractic works. It corrects cause, with zero risk for addiction."

Dr. Don Harte, former medical student, is a traditional chiropractor, serving Marin and the Greater Bay Area since 1981. He is an activist in the struggle for free speech for chiropractors. Dr. Harte was named 2006 "Chiropractor of the Year" by the World Chiropractic Alliance (WCA). He has served on the Boards of the WCA and the Council on Chiropractic Practice.

Missing Pieces of the ‘Health Care’ Debate

CORTE MADERA, Calif. -- Dr. Don Harte, noted chiropractic activist and former Libertarian State Senate candidate, knows that the current debate on so-called 'health care' is wrong, on all sides.

Dr. Harte explains, "Big Government subsidizes Big Pharma's research, from which they make huge profits, which translates into huge profits for the medical industry as they use those pharmaceuticals, with prices so high that government needs to subsidize both Medicine and Big Pharma. All the while, government makes believe that they are regulating these industries, while they offer them protection from liability, and make some of their services, like vaccination, compulsory. Mass media now lives off the drug ads, as they breathlessly gush about new medical 'breakthroughs.' Together, they form what I call the PMMG, the Pharmaceutical-Medical-Media-Governmental Complex. How about we drain that swamp?"

"As the current 'health care' discussion rages on," Dr. Harte observes, "there is a great deal of emphasis on 'keeping costs down... affordability.' While the Affordable Health Care Act has proven to be not affordable, neither will what is being proposed now." He declares "Modern Medicine, by its very nature, cannot be affordable because it continually expands the demand for its services, by causing more sickness. And what kind of industry makes itself unaffordable?"

"The screaming truth that neither political party faces is that Modern Medicine is an abysmal failure across the board. Amongst the old," Dr. Harte states, "there is the terrible epidemic of Alzheimer's, which, in my opinion, is caused by a combination of commonly prescribed drugs that force blood pressure too low, the effects of the cholesterol-lowering drugs, too many psychiatric drugs, and too many exposures to general anesthesia for mostly unwarranted surgical procedures. Look at the current horrible health of children, from autism to Type I diabetes to life-threatening allergies. Trace that to the serial poisoning of children by the known neuro- and immunotoxins in the dozens ofvaccines they are forced to take. The rest of us? We seem to see the doctor, and take more long-term drugs, than any previous generation, yet we are sicker than ever, mentally as well as physically! Nixon declared a War on Cancer in 1972. How's that working out?"

"There is a demand for more 'access' to 'health care,'" says Dr. Harte. "Perhaps we would be better off... healthier... with less access. 'Pre-existing conditions?' A lot of these pre-existing conditions are caused by medical care, and a lot could be at least partially resolved outside of medical care, particularly with chiropractic care, which allows the body to heal itself by liberating its master system, the nervous system."

"The assumption," Dr. Harte states, "is that Medicine is health care. The biological reality is that Medicine is sick care, not health care." Dr. Harte goes on, "the crux of the confusion is that we've been lead to believe that health is the absence of disease, or as an even more limited conception, the absence of serious disease, or of symptoms. No, it is not!"

Dr. Harte declares, "The solution to the so-called health care crisis is to promote actual health, through regular wellness chiropractic care, a more natural, non-GMO food supply, etc., while ending the immoral and extralegal government protection, promotion and support of Medicine and Big Pharma. A long time ago, Thomas Jefferson said, 'Error alone needs the protection of government. Truth stands on its own.'"

Dr. Don Harte, former medical student, is a principled, traditional chiropractor serving Marin and the Greater Bay Area since 1981.

‘Hitler in a White Coat’ Stalks California, says Dr. Harte

CORTE MADERA, Calif. -- Dr. Don Harte, noted chiropractic activist and former Libertarian State Senate candidate, condemns the new "children's rights" bill, SB18, as "a vicious attack upon children, the family and individual liberty. It's a forced drumming up of the medical business, that is nothing short of medical Nazism."

"This proposed bill," declares Dr. Harte, "is, in reality, the opposite of what it is named. 'The CA Children's and Youth Bill of Rights Act???'" He explains, "The blatant intent of this bill is to replace the loving judgment of parents with the social engineering judgment of the State. Deviations from what some soulless bureaucrat sees as 'adequate' or 'proper' may result in children being taken away by CPS (Child Protective Services), who have police powers."

"Regarding health matters," Dr. Harte continues, "SB18 will further pediatric medicine's barbaric, unscientific attacks upon children with their barrage of vaccinations containing known neuro and immunotoxins, in a process that perverts normal immune response. Those who are now trying to save their children from the further police powers of the last legislative outrage, SB277, by homeschooling, will find that outlet gone, as SB18 demands 'adequate socialization.' I wouldn't be surprised if massive prescribing of psychotropic drugs for children to be the next order of medical business from this part of this bill."

Dr. Harte says, "For a change, let's look at the record: the results. A state that has the worst schools, that can't even fix potholes in our roads, thinks that it can take care of children better than their parents. And the record of pediatric medicine? Autism, Type I diabetes, IBS, life-threatening allergies, juvenile arthritis and a variety of psychiatric disorders have reached epidemic levels in children. Yes, for the most part, I blame pediatric medicine. It is irresponsible science; it is irresponsible doctoring."

"These power-mad politicians give lip service to 'minority rights,' yet they are intending to crush those who wish to make different decisions about their children's health care, seeking safer, more scientific, more natural ways."

Dr. Harte declares, "BS18 is a blatantly fascist scheme -- extreme state control, with private ownership. BS18 is a sick social experiment which will make Child Protective Services the Gestapo for California's power-mad politicians and pediatricians, and for Big Pharma."

Sarasota Injury Lawyer David Goldman Offers Insight into the Impact of a Trump Administration on Obamacare and Medicaid for Consumers

SARASOTA, Fla. -- Sarasota Injury Attorney David L. Goldman, of Shapiro Goldman Babboni & Walsh, responds to clients' concerns about the impact of a Trump administration on healthcare coverage.

"As an attorney who often represents clients in desperate need of quality health care but with serious insurance coverage shortfalls, I have repeatedly heard may clients express concerns over how the presidential election will affect their coverage. Essentially many clients want to know, what is the future of Obamacare under a Trump administration?

There has been much speculation as to the future of Obamacare as well as the future of Medicare and Medicaid following the election of Donald J. Trump as our next president. Initially, it was thought that Obamacare would be scrapped entirely, although there were few details about what might replace the Affordable Care Act. That conventional wisdom was then placed in doubt after Donald Trump's recent meeting with President Obama which seemed to indicate that President-Elect Trump might be amenable to keeping parts of Obamacare intact.

With the proposed appointment of Congressman Tom Price of Georgia to head the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), a clearer outline of what future changes to health care law has begun to emerge. Price drafted a bill called the "Empowering Patients First Act" which would end Obamacare, and his appointment to HHS would likely change existing Medicare, Medicaid and health insurance law dramatically."

Attorney Goldman, citing an article published by the Washington Post, summarized the issue by stating, "The bottom line will likely be that individuals who young, healthy, or affluent may see their premiums decrease, while those who are older, sicker and poorer will probably see an increase in their health insurance premiums. Additionally, based on Congressman Price's past actions and statements, doctors may be allowed to charge more money to senior citizens and no longer be bound by Medicare rates. A rolling back of the expansion of Medicaid under the Obama Administration is also anticipated."
