"A Robust Public Option Is Essential" - Progressive Caucus Co-Chair Rep. Grijalva Draws a Line in the Sand on Healthcare Reform: "We speak with Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-AZ), co-chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus. “We’re going to fight for it down to the very last day,” Rep. Grijalva says of the public option. “It’s got to be part of [the bill]. If it’s not, we are just showering money upon money upon the same system and the same industry that got us into the mess we’re in right now.”"

Eight Years After 9/11, Ground Zero Volunteer Dying of Lung Disease is One of Many Still Fighting for Justice

2009-09-12T10:56:00.000-07:00

Eight Years After 9/11, Ground Zero Volunteer Dying of Lung Disease is One of Many Still Fighting for Justice: "Today marks the eighth anniversary of 9/11, with vigils being held to remember the nearly 3,000 people killed in the attacks. We look at a group of victims that are often forgotten in the September 11 narrative: the thousands of rescue workers who became sick after being exposed to contaminants at Ground Zero. Hundreds have died. We speak to Joe Picurro, a New Jersey ironworker who worked as a volunteer on the pile for twenty-eight days. He is now dying of lung disease. We also speak with Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY), who is co-sponsoring the 9/11 Health and Compensation Act, and Dr. Jacqueline Moline, director of the World Trade Center Medical Monitoring and Treatment Program at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine."

Please Cut the Crap!

2009-09-09T11:20:00.000-07:00

Please Cut the Crap!: "Dear Mr. President:

Have you noticed that every time you're absent from the scene for even a short time, like taking a week of vacation, the health insurance reform debate gets out of hand, and more than a little nuts? There's a very good reason for this, you know; it's because this country needs leadership. We haven't had that for a while, and we're in deep trouble right now because of that. But you know that; it's why you ran for president in the first place.

I know what you're trying to do with the public. You're trying to get people fired up to participate in the system, throwing out trial balloons designed to activate certain groups. Unfortunately, that doesn't work as well as you might think. If you want to find out what people want from you, ask them. If you want people to get behind you, then show leadership. If you show strong leadership on any issue, the people will get behind you and tell you how they want you to proceed.

We speak with Hilda Sarkisyan, the mother of Nataline Sarkisyan, who died two years ago at the age of seventeen after the insurance giant CIGNA denied her claim for a liver transplant. “We need a better change in this country, and I’m willing to help the President to do that…I want to meet him. I want him to feel how it feels not to have a daughter. He has two girls; he should know,” says Hilda Sarkisyan. “If we don’t stop this now, every family is going to have my story in their family.”

A far-left liberal proposal would actually be a single-payer plan. The public option is actually a program supported by almost everyone, despite the misleading way it's currently being discussed by Republicans, town hall wingnuts, cable news 'smackdown' panelists and other very serious members of the Washington establishment."

AOL Radio powered by CBS Radio This is my favorite online music source. I live in an area of hills and valleys that interfer with AM and FM radio. I use to listen to Sirius Satellite radio (6 years) until my tuner shorted out. I don't want to pay another 100 dollars or more for a new tuner, so I started listening to AOL Radio on 'puter since I can't afford to leave my home because of so many medical bills for cancer chemos and operations. Music lifts my spirits a lot and is very good for me so I don't think about my growing indebtedness so much. I need to feel some hope and joy from the new pop music by young musicans and AOL Radio gives it to me anytime I need it. It's like my best friend reallly telling me not to worry and not to listen to the healthcare forums' bullshit. Don't want to get started about it now so let's tune to AOL Radio and thank AOL for this wonderful resource to relax with. Enjoy it for free!

“American Values” — A Smoke Screen in the Debate on Health Care Reform | Health Care Reform 2009

2009-07-31T12:34:00.000-07:00

“American Values” — A Smoke Screen in the Debate on Health Care Reform | Health Care Reform 2009 author Allan S. Brett, M.D.

"Amid all the rhetoric about health care reform, one claim has emerged as a trump card designed to preserve the current patchwork of private and public insurance and to stop discussion of a government-sponsored single-payer system in its tracks: the claim that single-payer health care — a Canadian-style Medicare-for-all system — is antithetical to “American values.” The idea that American values dictate a particular approach to health care reform is often stated explicitly, and it is implicit in the generalization that “Americans want” a particular system. The underlying premise is that an identifiable set of American values point incontrovertibly to a health care system anchored by the private insurance industry. Remarkably, this premise has received very little scrutiny."

Packaged and processed foods typically contain more sugar and sodium. They're also quite a bit more expensive. Here's a list of 17 healthy foods that can be had for less than a dollar per serving. I've included the prices from my local supermarket in Portland, Oregon. Actual prices can vary quite a bit based on geography and growing season.

Propaganda And Prejudice Distort The Health Reform Debate | Physicians for a National Health Program Medicare-for-all would save hundreds of billions every year. Private insurers expend enormous sums for insurer commissions, advertising, Wall-Street-scale executive compensation, and profits. In contrast, Medicare spends little or nothing on these unnecessary, unproductive activities. Health care providers and private plans struggle with thousands of different billing schedules. As the New York Times reported: "The average provider -- doctors or hospitals -- has between 5 and 100 reimbursement rates for the same procedure. . . .

2009-04-26T11:10:00.000-07:00

U.S. trails rest of world in health care | Physicians for a National Health Program Let me begin by stating that I believe that neither the Canadian nor the U.S. health-care system is perfect, and both could be improved. Some Canadians in need of elective procedures are said to have to wait to see a specialist for their medical conditions in Canada. I, personally, had an appointment last week with a specialist here whom I had been waiting 16 weeks to see, because he is one of a small group of providers “approved” by my insurance. Waits can occur on either side of the border.

But my wait had an end to it. Some 48 million people will have no end to medical problems they are experiencing. Imagine having a migraine that had no end to it or a painful urological condition that continued indefinitely. Imagine if you had a suspicious mole and no way to know if it was cancer or not. That is the state of 48 million Americans, through no fault of their own.

Physicians for a National Health Program | Quote of the Day

2009-04-07T07:55:00.000-07:00

Physicians for a National Health Program | Quote of the Day PNHP consists of over 16,000 physicians and other health professionals who have been leaders, locally and nationally, for a publicly funded and administered single payer health system, organized to address the needs of patients rather than those of stockholders and insurance companies. Our allies include the Ohio AFL-CIO, the California Nurses Association, the American Public Health Association, the American Medical Student Association, the Grey Panthers, and the majority of Americans who support an improved and expanded Medicare for all.
Why now? Visit http://www.pnhp.org for the whole truth and nothing but the truth about America's need and desire for a better idea in delivering health care to all Americans and not just our healthy or employed residents.

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

2009-03-18T19:47:00.000-07:00

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."

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.
