McCain actually says Health Care should be run like Banking???

Will wonders never cease - these are exact quotes from an article last September: "Opening up the health insurance market to more vigorous nationwide competition, as we have done over the last decade in banking, would provide more choices of innovative products less burdened by the worst excesses of state-based regulation." The quote comes from: http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/09/19/mccain-o

Obama Should Create Economic "Marshall Plan"

This economy is collapsing around us and the news media's ignoring it as much as it can. Senator Obama should form an Economic Marhall Plan and then hold a town hall on the Economy to present the plan.

Get Real! Talk to People's Intelligence! Don't Underestimate!

What matters right now to the American people is that this inflationary cycle has hit them right at home, right at the grocery store and right at the gas tank. What matters to people is that the health care system is failing us because even if you have insurance, the premiums are rising while wages are not and if you're like me, you are penalized for not going to the doctor.

The election is not about Obama (aka Crush Those Fuckers!)

I'm sick of this and I know we all are. It's time to get off the high horse and take them down!

In our personal lives we change jobs, dump boyfriends and return products when they don’t live up to our expectations. Why don’t we do the same when it comes to our politics?

Attack McCain's Health Insurance Tax Scheme

If McCain gets his way, all of our health care premiums will be treated like taxable income, meaning the middle class will be taxed even more. The funds created from this tax will go directly to health insurance companies for families who can't afford health insurance. But, when did health insurance for a family cost only $5000? It's just more proof that McCain doesn't get it...

Focus on Healthcare - specifically health care for all children.

As a young woman in Ohio, I feel that democrats are missing an opportunity to highlight their strength concerning social issues with women. Democrats have historically garnered more women voters due to our humanist values concerning social issues. Why haven't we focused on health care for all children?

A simple equation: Our health plan costs less!

I've never understood the argument from people that providing health care to all would cost them too much money. Why can't it be explained this simply: Right now you pay your portion of your health care from your company (in my case, hundreds of dollars a month). You also pay for the care of the poor and the elderly through your taxes. This all comes out of your paycheck.
