Is Medicaid, in your opinion, a substandard insurance?

Is it an inferior product?

there ought to be equal consequences for the EPA, just as there are to private citizens.

are you familiar with the discretionary function exemption?

Delta submitted a FOIA request in October of 2012.

It is fair to say that it is absolutely not possible to eliminate all risk from the industry.
