A perfect example of an uncommon woman is Ella Knowles Haskell (1860-1911). Born in New Hampshire, she moved to Montana in 1888 at the age of 28 to relieve her tuberculosis and lived in the Treasure State for the remaining two decades of her life.

Government Interference with the Laws of Economics

Nearly two years ago we wrote about the South Carolina Certificate of Need Law, which limits the amount of medical providers to a governmentally determined geography.
