  Regaining the Center — Authority: 128
  An continuing question in my mind is why Americans are not outraged with the current health care delivery system involving “for profit” insurance companies? It is not that I think “profit” is a bad word. I really do like profit. But in all my working life, I have associated “profit” with the reward one ...

  Unsilent Generation — Authority: 422
  From the web site of Physicians for a National Health Plan comes this summary of a new study on American veterans’ limited access to health care. These figures are an estimate, extrapolated from an earlier study–but if they are right, they dwarf the number of deaths from combat, and rival the suicide ...

  Net News Publisher — Authority: 156

  The Confluence — Authority: 625
  This is one of Al Claytons powerful photographs in the 1969 book Still Hungry in America, which chronicled poverty and hunger in the American South.

  Unsilent Generation — Authority: 422
  On the House floor this evening, the health care debate wears on toward a vote.

• Republicans Think We All Have Munchausen Syndrome: GOP Health Care and the Myth of “Overuse”

  
  Unsilent Generation — Authority: 422
  Earlier today I wrote about the Republicans’ claim that most Americans are “over-insured.” This, they say, is the real problem with our health care system, because it encourages people to have “unnecessary” and costly treatments. This claim, in turn, points to an enduring myth about health care that ...

  Unsilent Generation — Authority: 422
  For months, even as other Democrats fell by the wayside, Nancy Pelosi has been saying she wouldn’t put through health reform without a “robust” public option.

  VitalOne Health Insurance Blog — Authority: 136
  Recent studies have found that women under the age of 55 are more expensive to insure than their male counterparts. Why are their health insurance costs higher?

• Public Option: Insurance Industry’s Trojan Horse

  
  Unsilent Generation — Authority: 422
  As I suggested yesterday , the latest reincarnation of the public option, endorsed by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, in all probability will lay out one more circuitous route back into the insurance industry.
