You may have had a tough weekend, but at least you're not Sharon Curtiss-Rivera. The state of Missouri mailed 339,000 letters to Medicaid recipients, including a hot line for hearing- and speech-impaired people whose services were being cut.

Skeptics offer five explanations. What are they? What are the facts? Why does the issue matter to your life and soul on this Monday? For more on mistakes and miracles, I invite you to godissues.com today.
