One of the big talking points of those trying to kill health care reform so that the private health insurance industry can continue to make huge profits (and yes, that’s their main concern) is that the public option for health care will move us towards a “Canadian style health care system.” The problem with this [...]

President Obama is hitting back on the Republican political games re: health care reform. To Republicans the health care reform issue is about politics. It’s about winning a political battle against the President. It has nothing to do with improving health care in this country. Watch Obama’s response to a Republican Senator who said that [...]

Obama appears to be bouncing back once again with his approval rating at 61% as of today. He had slipped to as low as 56% (polling released July 8th.) Perhaps this recovery in the President’s popularity is because of Obama’s more forceful talk on health care reform recently? Everyone who is really informed on the [...]

Senator Orin Hatch (R-Utah) was on CBS this morning repeating all of the Republicans tired lies about health care. He actually claimed that the US has the best health care system in the world! It’s amazing that they keep telling that lie. America is actually ranked #37 in the world according to the WHO. We [...]

According to this new Gallup poll the front runners for 2012 for the Republican Presidential nomination are Mitt Romney, Sarah Palin, & Mike Huckabee. All three of these people played a big part in the 2008 contests so these results are no big surprise that they’re in front in such a poll but it also [...]

Right now there’s a really awful advertisement coming up on this website (the ads are served by Google, so I don’t pick them myself, for anyone wondering) that I feel I must respond to in case anyone thinks I support it’s message. This is an advertisement for a website called “Say No To Pot” which [...]

Watch Sicko to get an understanding of what’s going with health care in the US. Our health care system is broken because of the corrupting influence of the private health insurance companies’ enormous power. Their only motive is profit, not health care. Yes, there are many countries all around the world who have a far [...]

From Bill Moyers Journal: The full interview is up now: click here for the full video on the official PBS website.

I’m really tired of hearing about “bi-partisanship.” When one party wants to do nothing but kill health care reform (the Republicans) then there’s no need to even consider their input. The Democrats focus should be on fixing our horrible health care system, not on playing politics. It’s clear that any health care reform that doesn’t [...]
