As health care reform became the law of the land this week, a huge bloc of Americans with a unique interest in the outcome sat watching on the sidelines.
The 49 million people who care for older family members were hidden in plain sight, as usual, quietly shouldering a burden that so often [...]

The history of healthcare in America is a sordid one at best, and scandalous at least. Consider the following:
1. The Social Safety Net did not exist for the most part prior to the last Great Depression. It wasn’t necessary because the family, Church and community took care of their own. Three generations [...]

Okay the government said no drive the car without paying you monthly primium on car insurance. Now Obama is going to make it mandatory that people also pay for health insurance the same as care insurance and both have heafty fines if your found not to have it.
Now lets say [...]

Healing our sick + educating our children = a healthier, happier, and smarter America
If health was improved and all our children had a equal chance at education, our country wouldn’t need to outsource jobs to foreign countries. We wouldn’t need to donate money to the poor because our poor would be [...]

Yep, you’re gonna get “it” one way or the other…
If you’re 65-years of age or older and on Medicare, you can expect the quality and access to health-care to diminish and your premiums and out-of-pocket expenses increase….Pretty hard to “cut” billions from Medicare without that happening; isn’t it? Did you really expect to get the [...]

The Senate worked through the weekend on its version of the national health care bill, with President Obama stopping by for a rare Sunday visit, but for the second week in a row, only 41% of U.S. voters favor [...]

The insurance companies are spending $600 million to squash healthcare reform for Americans, so they can continue to add 40 percent in costs and skim the difference. This will keep them and their families in mansions and boats while Americans die.
Let the conservative [...]

Last month, I resigned from the AMA to protest its support of the current healthcare bill. The AMA does not speak for me on this issue.
I have been a democrat throughout my adult life, but I am disgusted with the corruption of our politicians. I come from a family of physicians and have always believed [...]

The lies the right wing are trying to spread are absolutely ridiculous. ANYONE AND EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE A HEALTH DIRECTIVE IN THEIR WILLS OR ON FILE WITH THEIR DOCTORS to be sure their end of life wishes are known. Don’t make the mistake of thinking that seniors with painful, deadly illness WANT to be kept [...]
