White House Orders Agents To U.S.-Mexico Border : NPR

White House Orders Agents To U.S.-Mexico Border : NPR I have heard on the radio that the Mexican drug gangs are so powerful in California that there are areas of Los Angeles that no intelligent police officer will dare enter without plenty of support. We are being invaded by these Mexican gangs! Why not use our EXPERIENCED soldiers to kill these terrorists from Mexico? That's what we need for our National Security now.

FACTBOX: Drugs, trade and immigration focus of US-Mexican talks | U.S. | Reuters Former Vice President Dick Cheney expressed his opinion that our new president was making America less safe by shutting down the alleged terrorist detention camp at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. He never talks about the US-Mexico border mess legacy that he and the former US President Bush left the American people.

Truthdig - Reports - It’s Time to Put the Clamps on Tobacco

Truthdig - Reports - It’s Time to Put the Clamps on Tobacco "There is an obvious and overdue way to improve Americans’ health care without raising taxes, curtailing insurance coverage for those who already have it, burdening employers with higher costs or jeopardizing the two big government health insurance programs for the elderly and the poor."

Truthdig - Reports - Put Single-Payer on the Table

Truthdig - Reports - Put Single-Payer on the Table "President Barack Obama promises health-care reform, but he has taken single-payer health care off the table. Single-payer is the system that removes private insurance companies from the picture; the government pays all the bills, but health-care delivery remains private. People still get their choice of what doctor to go to and what hospital to use. Single-payer reduces the administrative costs and removes the profit that insurance companies add to health-care delivery. Single-payer solutions, however, get almost no space in the debate."

Steven Hill: What Obama Can Learn from "Old Europe"

Steven Hill: What Obama Can Learn from "Old Europe" "The World Health Organization (WHO) rates European countries as having the best health care systems in the world, spending, on average, far less than the United States for universal coverage and quality results. France has the top-rated health care system, while the United States is ranked 37th -- just ahead of Cuba and Slovenia. In the Czech Republic, a proposal to introduce a $2 co-payment per office visit nearly toppled the government, as health care is considered a basic right in the social contract."

Ed Needs A Miracle

AUSTINTOWN — Ed Port’s facial deformity has limited his ability to secure a job, hampered him socially and affected his hearing and sight.
Port was diagnosed with neurofibromatosis type 2, which causes a growing tumor in his face, when he was 3 or 4.
“Between the ages of 7 and 19, I had 18 to 21 surgeries,” Port, 38, said.
Growth of the tumor has obscured his vision in his left eye, damaged his hearing and led to the removal of part of his jawbone. His health insurance considers the series of surgeries required to correct the problem cosmetic, however, and won’t cover them, Port said.
