Rooting Out Fraud One of the oldest documented cases of fraud is reported in Genesis chapter 29. Jacob worked for his prospective father-in-law, Laban, in exchange for marrying Laban’s daughter Rachel. However, on the wedding night, Laban tricked Jacob by substituting his other daughter, Leah, and Jacob was forced to work another seven years for the right to marry Rachel. (Not only fraud, but bigamy to boot.) Fraud is as old as humanity.

Where Are The Leaders? "The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of convenience and comfort, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy." – The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Trigger warning: For those who think it’s facile and overwrought to make comparisons between 2020s America and 1930s Germany, you may want to skip this essay.

Taking the Public Out of Public Health It is perhaps an indication of what a nerd I am, but one of the thrillers I vividly recall from my childhood was a short movie I saw in 6th grade about the World Health Organization’s Smallpox Eradication Program. Seriously. I was spellbound by the story of health workers traveling around Bangladesh, Ethiopia, and Somalia, the last countries known to have the disease, tracking down reports of individuals who might have contracted the disease and then vaccinating everyone around them who was at risk.

I’m Back Well, it's been a minute...It's hard to believe my last post here was over 3 years ago. Not that I've been idle. I've had an "official" blog at Children's Minnesota, and I've written a book, Saving Our Kids, that lays out a public health approach to the gun violence crisis that I talked about in my last Starting With Curious post.

What Medicaid cuts could mean for Minnesota children About one in five Minnesotans are on Medicaid. That shakes out to about one in six adults and three in 10 children.

New to Bluesky! Happy to have had the chance to discuss the effect of Medicaid cuts on kids with @mprnews.org www.mprnews.org/story/2025/0...
