Not Indentured: H ‑1B Workers Are Switching Employers More Than Ever
David J. BierCritics of the H-1B visa for skilled foreign workers often claim that the status amounts to “indentured” servitude.

Sylvana Sinha, CEO, Praava Health
Sylvana Sinha is CEO of Praava Health, a primary & specialty care network based in Dhaka, Bangladesh. While the average American may only think about Bangladesh when there’s some disaster on the news it’s a country of 165m+ people with a GDP per capita exceeding India’s. It lacks excellent health services for its growing middle class, and that’s the gap Praava Health is filling. I learned a lot about Sylvana, Bangladesh, and Praava in this quick interview —Matthew Holt (Source: The Health Care Blog)

A couple of things . . . .
Just to be clear, and I say this in no uncertain terms with the backing of the CDC, FDA, Dr. Peter Hotez, and innumerable other experts,the Surgeon General of Florida is a quack.

So don ' t try to tell me what to think about this, if you are actually completely ignorant of these matters. With tha...
