January 22, 2010 Thanks to a surrender by unions, there's yet another provision in the Democrats' health care "reform" legislation that will make workers suffer.
January 18, 2010 Supporters of single-payer health care packed the main chamber of the Vermont statehouse for a joint hearing on health care reform.
January 18, 2010 The chorus of liberal opinion selling pro-corporate health care legislation as an acceptable compromise with political "realism" is growing louder.
January 11, 2010 I can't understand how Sen. Jeff Merkley or any "progressive" member of Congress can declare that an individual mandate for health insurance is a "right."
January 6, 2010 : Lee Sustar From bad to worse to utterly wretched--that's been the course of so-called health care "reform" in the hands of the U.S. Senate.
December 18, 2009 : Dr. Andy Coates Behind the grandstanding about getting the best health care plan possible is the terrible truth--any serious measure to fix the system has been compromised away.

December 7, 2009 : Elizabeth Schulte The money and resources are there to provide a health care system that guarantees coverage to every American--but Congress' reform measures won't.
December 3, 2009 The Preventative Services Task Force has come out with a way to lower health care costs that could put the lives of thousands of women at risk.
December 3, 2009 Current proposals for health care reform will make insurance companies even richer, and that money will flow back into American politics.

November 11, 2009 : Solomon Hughes The leading corporate lobbyist against a "public option" in the U.S. helped waste billions on "market reforms" of Britain's National Health Service.
November 4, 2009 The Democrats' proposal for a "public option" is so scaled back that it's barely public--and it can hardly be called much of an option.
