No, that’s not how insurance works. The word “insurance” has lost all meaning in the context of the health-care debate.
But this raises another issue. I’ve been seeing stories that insurance companies are factoring “climate change” into their premiums. These people have real skin in the climate game, and I’m wondering if they’re taking the “climate scientists” too seriously, and creating a market opportunity for an insurer who doesn’t buy the nonsense?
Thoughts on the worthwhile difficulties of settling space.
But I beg to differ with Mr. Hinderaker; it’s not a “liberal” coup, but a leftist one.

Could someone inform the federal judiciary that Jihadis are Muslims?
Like Charles Cooke, I don’t agree with the policy, but this ruling was lawless.
I dislike this EO as a matter of policy. I’m also outraged by this decision, and think Trump is absolutely right on the legal question.

The courts in Hawaii and the 9th circuit have essentially stripped the president of his powers. It will take SCOTUS to restore. And funny how these people never mind the tyrannical and actually lawless behavior of Barack Obama.

Grandstanding judicial supremacy must end. Basically, the ruling was based on mind reading, and feelings.
…with an artificial retina. This is great news. But I wonder how it would work for someone born blind. Could their brains learn to see?

There seems to be some confusion in comments. My point was that even if the brain starts to get the visual signal, it may not be able to learn how to use it. Learning to interpret the input and translate it into a map of the world is something that happens very early in development, and if it doesn’t happen, like language, it may not be possible to learn it as an adult.
An interesting history, including a bonus discussion of space tourism.
Tara Copp has written a book that’s been getting good reviews from the defense media. Here’s an excerpt.
So the wonderful @TaraCopp gave me a copy of her new book, The Warbird, I am ENGROSSED.

It’s been doing so for decades. No one should take it seriously any more.
My step-brother had a TR-4, but I’m surprised that you can pick up a TR-6 for that little money. Seems like a great deal. It may soon be the only way you can get a real stick shift.
The reign of terror is almost over. What’s not mentioned, though, is that even if the kids were eating the food, it’s not healthy for them. Low grains are only a little less terrible than refined ones, and low fat constitutes physical child abuse, because they need fat to grow their brains.
Are you really worse off?
The word “insurance” has lost all meaning when it comes to health care, and the continual confusion and conflation of the two lies at the root of much of the problem. Crazy idea: I want a health savings account to deal with normal medical expenses, and insurance for catastrophes. You know, the way insurance used to be until it got screwed up by wage controls during the war and union negotiators.
