Back and Better Than Ever!

Hey! Elizabeth Edwards is going to be in my neighborhood talking about Health Care!

And Bob Herbert has a nice column on the health care plan of John McCain which is not so much a health care plan but a health care crisis in the making:

These are changes that will set in motion nothing less than the dismantling of the employer-based coverage that protects most American families.

A study coming out Tuesday from scholars at Columbia, Harvard, Purdue and Michigan projects that 20 million Americans who have employment-based health insurance would lose it under the McCain plan.

There is nothing secret about Senator McCain’s far-reaching proposals, but they haven’t gotten much attention because the chatter in this campaign has mostly been about nonsense — lipstick, celebrities and “Drill, baby, drill!”

Universal Health Care in the House!

More on Health Care: The Ladies Edition!

This is how I feel about John McCain's health care plan. Here's why Elizabeth Edwards thinks it won't work. Relying on the market means that decisions are made according to costs. And you know who health insurers think cost too much? Women. Not only do they have babies ($$$!) but they also are more likely to seek preventive care.

Some of my best friends are ladies, my friend.
