Every five years, a sprawling piece of legislation quietly shapes America’s food and agricultural policy. The farm bill, which covers crop prices, agricultural loans, forest conservation, and food assistance programs, is set to expire by Sept. 30. But this deadline is already one year delayed, and although funding won’t quite run out until December, key lawmakers doubt a full farm bill will pass by then either. What makes this expansive, must-pass bill so controversial?

A patient, intoxicated with alcohol, comes into the emergency department complaining of chest pain. The nurse and the ECG tech need help as the patient is yelling, flailing his arms, and trying to stand up out of bed while stumbling. The nurse puts a blood pressure cuff on his arm and a pulse oximeter probe on his finger. With his other hand, he tries to grab her, pull her toward him, attempting to hug her, and calling her “hon.” This of course is not the name with which she introduced herself.

In 2013, I graduated with a BSN, drawn to nursing by a love for science and a passion for helping others. The promise of good pay, job security, and growth opportunities was a marketing pitch so convincing I never thought to question it.

“My best friend was murdered while we were walking home from school.”The once lively thirteen-year-old boy now slumped in the chair across from me, his words spilling out with newfound heaviness. As I looked at him during what was supposed to be a routine well-child check, I couldn’t shake the air of depression that suddenly choked the room.

It’s become my morning ritual on the way to the hospital. Cruising down a main Philadelphia stretch, just as the road crests and the hospital becomes visible, I steel myself for the line. Is it going to be long today? In just a few more blocks, my second reflexive check-in: Are there news vans outside of the hospital? Both glances are woven into the larger story of Philadelphia’s gun violence epidemic and how that epidemic is butchering the city’s children.

It is nearly universally agreed that the United States of America is a “great nation” with the world’s strongest economy, an expansive international presence, and being physically one of the largest countries in the world.
