Two Fed dissenters cite inflation risk in votes against rate cut
Federal Reserve officials who voted against the U.S. central bank's interest rate cut this week said on Friday they are worried that inflation remains too high to warrant lower borrowing costs, particularly given the lack of recent official data about the pace of price increases.

This is the type of thread that only gets written if you're unaware that the VA healthcare system already exists. Or that it provides healthcare for millions of Americans. Or that it consistently generates higher patient satisfaction numbers and better clinical outcomes than the private sector.

What do the biggest, expensive hospital chains do. Do they opt out and only serve the rich ?
Who in the USA gov runs the program?
