Update: The U.S. House has voted in favor of the Health-care Reform Bill with 219 Democrats voting in favor and all (178) Republican Congressmen voting against the reform along with 34 Democratic traitors. President Obama will soon sign the historic legislation. 
Many Americans are worried that a national health care system with universal coverage would be an expensive proposition for the United States. In fact, a better-organized system, covering everybody, would almost certainly cut our health care costs – after all, every other rich nation’s health care system is cheaper than ours. Americans also tend to believe that the private sector can run a medical system for less money than the government can; all the evidence from around the world suggests the opposite.

Folks, at long last a bright sunny day has dawned for the American people.

The numbers of uninsured Americans are growing and we reckon it should be around 50 million today. Not a small figure for a country of 300 million people.
Citing a World Health Organization study, T.R.Reid writes that in terms of fairness the U.S. health-care system is behind Bangladesh and Maldives. How disgusting.
Such is the dark side of the U.S. health-care system.
Healthy Reform
Today, the Obama administration took aim at one party in the evil quartet – America’s cruel, merciless health-insurance companies – and placed a big step forward in providing universal coverage.
Obama’s reform bill ends some of the pernicious practices of the U.S. healthcare system that have made life miserable for millions for several decades and killed several hundred thousand Americans over the years. Continue reading »
