I support Americans United for Separation of Church and State.

Per capita health care spending (2007):

United States: $7290
Switzerland: $4417
France: $3601
United Kingdom: $2992
Average of OECD developed nations: $2964
Italy: $2686
Japan: $2581

The text of HR676 (Medicare For All) as PDF (30 pages). The FAQ. Compare HR3200 with HR676.

Medicare for All would save $350 billion a year (study in New England Journal of Medicine).

In 2003, a young Illinois state senator named Barack Obama told an AFL-CIO meeting, "I am a proponent of a single-payer universal healthcare program*." -- Bill Moyers.

  • 22:03:36 Valley Girl I'd sure like Bruce Dixon's take on the Conyers comments. Just emailed him.
  • 21:03:43 lambert Thanks, Jeff.
  • 18:16:03 Jeff W lambert, I wrote to NOW about that Elizabeth Warren video not playing and got a response of sorts back, which I sent to you as a private PM. Just FYI.
  • 02:28:28 hipparchia the first thing they told us my volunteer training: humans are natural born rescuers.

  • 01:00:54 lambert The actuary was a whistleblower under Bush, too. [url]
  • 00:47:48 hipparchia that's ok, jason stands ready to help smear the actuary quoted in that wapo article [url]

  • 02:24:14 Jeff W Elizabeth Warren on the economy on PBS's NOW: you can watch it online here: [url] "If [Congress] gets it wrong, the country we knew is gone."
  • 17:52:53 Davidson So, of course they're not going to show the truth about boxing her in from the beginning.
  • 17:51:57 Davidson Yeah, that was just a comment in general, like, "Not even the RBC decision warranted scrutiny."
  • 15:38:02 lambert That's not the RBC meeting, though. That's the smoking gun, beyond "Smart politics" (Wolfson).
  • 14:17:16 Davidson Notice how everyone still avoids exposing the RBC decision
  • 14:16:04 Davidson Can someone do a post on this? [url]
  • 10:04:26 lambert Jeff, thanks. Fixed.
  • 02:05:14 Jeff W lambert, your "especially with Obama's youthful base" link here [url] is broken. :(
