Conservatives: May We Suggest Reading Material As You Clutch Your Now Sore Throat After Screaming "Socialized Medicine"
Families USA is just awesome. I know it sounds like we have to say that because they're a partner organization, but they seriously are - there's a reason we and our customers contribute to them. Exhibit T (for truth) in...

But I thought you were pro-life?
If you noticed how many of the opponents of SCHIP expansion were supposedly "pro-life," you're not alone - Catholics United noticed too. That's why they're putting out an ad campaign targeting those members of Congress who manage to simultaneously be...

Bush to Kids: "Drop Dead."
Words simply fail me. Although it was widely expected, this morning President Bush vetoed legislation that would allow states to expand their State Children's Health Insurance program (SCHIP) and cover more lower- and middle-income kids. This would have resulted, according...

Unless You Hate Children...
The House of Representatives passed an important expansion of healthcare for children yesterday, despite the President's threat of a veto. It's not a veto-proof majority, but you'd have to hate children to kill this bill. Or, you'd have to be...

Always Look On the Bright Side...of Death?
Ever wonder why the cost of health insurance keeps going up and up and up...but the health care we receive isn't getting any better, and insurance companies keep nickel and diming us with bigger co-pays and more denied claims?...

Dose of Durst
Guess what? The $100 billion tax break given to drug companies two years ago to add jobs didn’t. Add jobs, that is. In other news, the Pacific Ocean is moist. The drug companies got their drubbing in Sicko, but...

Dose of Durst

Sicko is Coming
"I work three jobs," says the woman discussing how difficult it is to afford health insurance. "You work three jobs," responds President Bush. "Uniquely American, isn't it. That's fantastic." That's just a taste of MIchael Moore's medicine for our healthcare...

I'm Off to Paradise - Here's Some Weekend Reading/Viewing
