As much as I love the planet, we need healthcare reform. It should be top priority right now.  View

Who cares, the fact that the American media and some politicians are making a big deal out of this simply shows how screwed up the US really is. Too bad they don't expend the same energy on fixing their own problems like crime, poverty, racism, healthcare...  View

Once a healthcare bill is passed and signed by the president, 40 thousand soldiers will be on their way. Senators from states that supply weapons to our troops got down with the program only after being assured of a troop buildup in Afghanistan. Its a give and take world.  View

while ultimately, you should only care about medical advice that comes from your doctor, I think the video is right that this will most likely lead to reduced insurance coverage. Which I hope wasn't the point, the government has used health care to sell out women enough times the past few months as @ACrimaldi pointed out.  View

It seems this 'government task force' is just trying to exert more and more control over woman's bodies as they are doing in the Stupak amendment. Bad timing, and I hope no one takes these recommendations seriously. They are also advising doctors and health providers NOT to teach self breast examination. Entirely out of line.  View

This adds to the public's basis for distrust/lack of confidence in scientists and their research. In the courtroom we see scientists as expert witnesses hired to support both sides of each argument. Nutritional guidance is under constant revision and at times reversal. Scientists gave us the atom bomb, DDT, agent orange and more. Scientists speak for and against global warming and evolution. Perhaps it is healthy that credibility has to be earned and judgment has to be exercised and gone are the days of just trusting the word of "experts".  View

ghoulish indeed. if anything this move will attract more support for universal health care.  View

GO SENATE!!!!!!!!! People with no medical care, like millions of Americans, experience an overall deterioration in their health with an increased dependency on government subsidies to survive. This causes a significant drain on the government financial resources. When these uninsured attempt to pay their own medical bills, it takes a terrible toll on personal and family finances, often causing bankruptcies. Further, these individuals lacking proper health care contribute to the increase in risk for the spread of infections, as well as, the increase in morbidity statistics and chaos in the health system overall.  View

the pharmaceutical companies are rationally reacting to market forces which is why this is the perfect example of why we need healthcare reform. The market doesn't always work in beneficial ways, but if we change the structure of the system we can maximize our collective benefit.  View

glen beck and research team are doing a wonderful job exposing truth because it affects the world.he has a brilliant mind to bring facts into focus.his program is to keep america strong.[with continued pattern of government and spending]the crash is going to be far worst than 29 and much much longer in duration.those with their head in the sand you will wake up and "remember" glen beck was trying to open their eyes and ears. many americans don't know and don't want to know the truth concerning obama and congress.they are not representing the legal tax paying citizens by defrauding us of income.why should we pay each congress approx. $174,000 [and retirement] to spend our money excessively and fail to vote on bills to hide the truth so they will be re elected.the ego and restless driven obama is flying here and there to more countries than any other president in history...while leaving us in a nightmare of failed government programs,a failed congress, airforce one and the other backup planes are costing millions upon millions in fuel rather than dealing with america's problems,families without a homes,food,jobs. clean out those in congress who voted on this health care plan because it will not work. the gov. doesn't have a business track record to prove worthy of managing anything including [three programs] medicare, medicaid or soc. sec. before dreaming of taking over america, the banks, auto industries, insurance companies and more to come. they should fix [first] that which is broken.medicare doesn't work, why try another health care plan that happened over night with locked doors. how are people going to pay for insurance when they lost their home, their job. the tax payers who pay congressional salaries of $174,000 is the congress who will fine you for not paying for insur. or send you to jail. just make it simple,hospitals should not admit you if you can't pay. it is our responsiblity to take care of yourself.if anyone needs to go to jail investigate and clean out congress corruption.  View
