  • I don’t think the Catholic Church owns hospitals, but I could be wrong. I think the main model you see today is that hospital systems can claim tax exempt (nonprofit) status by aligning to the Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health Care Services (ERDs). Under the ERDs, the church is able to enforce its religious beliefs in healthcare, such as the ones on trans healthcare. While that is bad, there are parts of the ERD that are tied into providing more community service and ensuring compassionate care for our least privileged communities.









  • Trump first said he wouldn’t mention the lawmaker’s name before turning to Johnson and telling him to share the story, saying the House member they were discussing would “be proud.”

    “Okay, well. Thank you, Mr. President. Congressman Neal Dunn of Florida had had some real health challenges, and it was very serious, and had had a pretty grim diagnosis. And I mentioned it to the president and I said, ‘Congressman Dunn is a real champion and a patriot because he’s still coming to work, and if others got this diagnosis, they would be apt to go home and retire,’” Johnson said.

    Trump then pressed Johnson to say what the diagnosis was, and Johnson replied, “It was, I mean, I think it was a terminal diagnosis.”

    “He would be dead by June,” Trump said bluntly.

    “Okay, that wasn’t public,” Johnson responded.

    Wow. Just wow.
