Reminds me of a few years ago one time when I visited the DC area, and saw how the TV evening news began with "...and now, from the most important city in the world..." An amazingly overwhelming self-absorption; it seems to come from the area biz that the locals like to imagine is oh sooo important --an attitude that's not hard to come across in places like say, New York, Mecca, Hollywood California...
Walgreens urged to leave US to gain tax benefit

Walgreens has come under pressure from an influential group of its shareholders, who want the US pharmacy chain to consider relocating to Europe, in what would be one of the largest tax inversions ever attempted.
My company is dropping Blue Cross Blue Shield and signing up with UnitedHealth Group. It seems one of their subs is responsible for the crappy website. Great! Just Great!
UnitedHealth Group is expecting higher earnings thanks to ObamaCare. After United supported passing the plan, one of its subsidiaries, Quality Software Services, Inc. won a contract of $90 million for the rollout of Healthcare.gov. UnitedHealth’s Executive Vice President Anthony Welters and his wife are significant Obama donors and bundlers. The Administration did not perceive any conflict of interest in providing the nation’s largest health insurer with the keys to Healthcare.gov.
