Oppose the Max Baucus proposal
Here is more from sickforprofit.com on exactly why the Senate Finance Committee proposal is “a dream come true for the health insurance industry”. P.S. If you really like numbers and real data, here is a chart that compares the Baucus Bill with the HELP Bill proposed by Kennedy that includes the public option. You can [...]
Max Baucus exposed by Bill Moyer
I already told you about John Ensign, one of the members of Senate Finance Committee, and his motives for siding with the insurance companies. What a douche! But unfortunately, he is not the only one. Max Baucus, Democrat Senator from Montana, heads the committee and he is even more corrupt. Bill Moyers explains exactly why [...]
15% of Americans lack health insurance
Bloomberg.com says 1 out of 7 people (43.8 million Americans) didn’t have health insurance in 2008. With economy showing almost no signs of improvement I doubt the number has gone down. Here is the application chart with all the numbers.
McCaughey gets it handed to her by Ratigan
Ahh! What a pleasure to watch. She’s the same woman who helped kill Clinton’s health care plan in the 90s. How did she do it? Same way she is doing it now… by lying, fabricating facts, and misinforming the American public. Somebody needed to show her, her place and call her out on her lies. [...]
Exposing the hypocrisy of Republicans deciding your health care
Remember John Ensign? Let me refresh your memory: He is the Republican Senator of Nevada who was recently humiliated for his extramarital affairs and therefore had to abdicate his position as Chairman of Republican Policy Committee, the fourth highest spot in Republican Party leadership. Blows my mind how people that run on moral values, family [...]
Surgery videos from 1930′s (WiredScience)
Wired Science pulled out some awesome black-and-white surgery videos from the 1930s from the annals of British Medical Association. Warning: They are pretty gruesome but show how complex surgeries were done back in the day with somewhat primitive tools and no computers. I highly recommend it just because it’s pretty fascinating.
How does the proposed health care plan affect you?
I love NPR but that’s beside the point. NPR has got an excellent excellent interactive application that allows you to figure out just how the new proposed health care plan will affect you. It gives you the advantages and the drawbacks. So, don’t just listen to people feeding you their opinions, read the facts and [...]
A woman becomes pregnant, while being pregnant – WEIRD!!!
An Arkansas woman, 31, became pregnant while already being pregnant. This happened two weeks into her first pregnancy. Basically, she will have a baby and then another one two weeks afterwards. Apparently, it’s only the fifteenth case known to us and is called superfetation (what an awesome name!). She has a super fetus!!! Btw, here [...]
Senate Finance Committee rejects two proposals for health-care public option
I guess it was bound to happen. The Senate Finance Committee rejected two proposals for including the public option plan (one by Rockefeller IV of W. Virginia and one by Schumer of NY), which clearly is a huge setback for Obama. More importantly, it’s a step back for all Americans, especially for us not so [...]
