The US Census Bureau says the American frontier closed in 1890. But the reality is that many people still live in rural areas today. This is as much due to the real population factors of the traditional heartland as it is because of the evolving way we define what rural is. Though the FCC is dealing with a bit of a storm in other areas, one little-noted change they are suggesting is an expansion of funding for the Rural Healthcare Program (RHP) beyond the current $400 million cap.

One of my readers, Natalie, wondered about my thoughts about the digital pill. My initial reactions were similar to several of those who were interviewed for the article. The digital pill, which provides electronic information to confirm whether someone has ingested the medication, has great potential to become a tool of coercion. Aripiprazole (Abilify) is classified as an antipsychotic medication, which is often prescribed to people who have beliefs that machines.
