Wilber Rafael Garces Perez was shot by ICE 10 days ago.
The bullet is still lodged in his back. He’s been forced to sleep on the floor and hasn’t been given medication, according to his attorney.
Now DHS is claiming he assaulted an agent.
Can we trust anything DHS says given its track record?

But there’s one question you almost never hear asked:
Who’s actually getting paid?

American health care creates no incentive for pharma companies to cure diseases. When you cure a disease, the customers go away. There's no money in that.
Curing patients is not a sustainable business model, per Goldman Sachs.
