By Martin Longman Verified| The Progress Pond@ We’ve been suffering pretty catastrophic database problems for the last few weeks, and we’ve had to do several restores that have erased both articles and comments. Nothing has worked to fix the problems so now we are doing a complete rebuild. It’s quite possible that the server will become disconnected to the database again one or more times before the rebuild is completed, so please be patient and maybe save any comments you care about so you can repost them later.
By Martin Longman Verified| The Progress Pond@ I don’t know why someone gunned down the CEO of UnitedHealthCare on Wednesday morning in front of a midtown Manhattan hotel. But I wouldn’t be shocked if it tracks back to some denial of coverage issue. When they apprehend the suspect, who escaped into Central Park on a rented CitiBike, we may learn more. Of course, this is a murder and there are no excuses that will justify it. But sometimes these health insurance executives make their own unjustifiable decisions.

Washington Monthly
The Washington Monthly was founded in 1969 on the notion that a handful of plucky young writers and editors, armed with an honest desire to make government work and a willingness to ask uncomfortable questions, could tell the story of what really matters in Washington better than a roomful of Beltway insiders at a Georgetown dinner party. In our cluttered little downtown DC office, we're still doing what we have done for more than 50 years, and what fewer and fewer publications do today: telling fascinating, deeply reported stories about the ideas and characters that animate America's government. We don't chase news cycles, or obsess over the endless political horse race. We care about how the government can be improved, and why it hasn't; who's a fraud and who isn't; which ideas ought to be banished from the nation's capital and which ones deserve to be championed. We're not a subsidiary of some giant media company or a mouthpiece for ideologues. We're an independent voice, listened to by insiders and willing to take on sacred cows—liberal and conservative. Instead of cynically tearing down institutions and programs, we offer innovative solutions: how to get the best people to work for the government and how to get the best government for the people; how to get teachers who can teach and social workers who can make welfare reform work. We believe in the great American traditions of civic responsibility, caring for the down and out, and giving the average person a break.
