Property taxes going up? The 340B Program might be partly responsible The 340B Drug Pricing Program incentivizes tax-exempt, nonprofit health systems to expand, but that expansion can be costly for local taxpayers

Talked to this coworker today who is a nationalized citizen from Mexico.

They scanned her license then said she needed another form of ID after whatever it was they saw.
