    The best American Infantry weapon had to be the M1 Garand. Even General Patton credited the American semi-automatic rifle as one reason we won the war. While other nations were equipped primarily with WWI vintage bolt action rifles that held no more than 5-6 rounds, the Garand held 10 rounds and was semi automatic. This increased the fire power of a 12 man squad dramatically over that of a similar squad armed with only bolt action rifles. The Germans also introduced a semi automatic rifle but never in large numbers.…

    The Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA) was enacted in 1986 as a part of the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) of 1985. EMTALA was enacted to prevent hospitals with Emergency Departments from refusing to treat or transferring patients with emergency medical conditions (EMC) due to an inability to pay for their services. This act also applies to satellite locations whom advertise titles such as “Immediate Care” or “Urgent Care,” and all other facilities where one-third of their patient intake are walk-ins. Several rules and regulations to this act have been established and it has become a very serious piece of legislation and health care regulation, as it is enforced by several government entities. Originally known as the “anti-dumping act,” EMTALA has saved the accreditation of health care today as it was quickly in transformation to becoming an unreliable, acquisitive practice, rather than a dependable source of care.…
