Fueling an Epidemic: Inside the Insys Strategy for Boosting Fentanyl Sales (Report Four)
"During the height of the prescription opioid crisis in the United States, Insys Therapeutics, Inc., adopted and intensified sales and marketing techniques Purdue Pharma pioneered in the 1990s for OxyContin and applied them to Insys' powerful fentanyl drug Subsys. Like Purdue, Insys aggressively used speakers programs--in which the company paid physicians to discuss Subsys with colleagues--and compensation programs for sales representatives to boost sales for Subsys [...] This report also highlights the examples of Heather Alfonso, a nurse practitioner from Connecticut, and Dr. Steven Simon, a physician practicing near Kansas City, Missouri--two practitioners separated by geography but united in their high Subsys prescribing and receipt of substantial payments from Insys. These case studies demonstrate exactly how company executives motivated sales representatives to 'own' physicians through promises of compensation for both sides--and how these efforts in turn significantly affected patient treatment."

Last Stand: Evacuating a Hospital in the Middle of a Wildfire
From the Document: "'We're making a last stand.' A firefighter spoke these words just prior to hospital leaders making the decision to evacuate the Kaiser Permanente hospital in Santa Rosa, California.

[...] As chemical and biological weapons may soon be the subject of serious international negotiations, the matter is thus clearly within this committee's responsibility.

Fiscal Year 2018 Entry/Exit Overstay Report

An overstay is a nonimmigrant who was lawfully admitted to the United States for an authorized period, but remained in the United States beyond his or her authorized period of admission. The authorized admission period can be a fixed period; or for the duration of a certain activity, such as the period during which a student is pursuing a full course of study or any authorized technical/practical training. [...] DHS has engaged in a concerted campaign to end visa overstay abuse. For the second year in a row, visa overstay rates have declined.
