  • "..it looks like I'm losing"

    Although McCain did not come out of the debate as a clear loser - it is clear that he is in fact losing. We know it. He knows it. Never-the-less he stood up to Obama. A brave amd positive stance for the defeated Republican Party.

  • ER reform ideas

    Even if it were legal for ERs to turn away non emergency patients, for a practical matter, they wouldn't. The risk of a patient seeming to have a non emergency complaint and then dieing before seeing a physician and the potential malpractice suits (and news stories) is one hell of a deterent. Even if it were a policy in the ER, and there were no ...

  • I've experienced the 24+ hr. Wait.

    This is VERY TRUE. I've experienced the 24 hr. wait WITH excellent insurance. The health care in this country sucks! I've come home SICK because of waiting with a family member in an ER waiting room for over 24 hrs around a bunch of ill people. Try getting into an emergency room in South Florida! I've tried numerous hosptials over the years. ...

  • It's a matter of education, options and choices

    Though I agree that this movie has a “Home Birth” focus, I think that what Ricki Lake is really trying to convey is that women are not educated on the choices and options available. Birth in the United States has become an emergent medical complication. We intervene as a routine, as if all of those interventions are safer and better than Mother ...

  • Re: Fact check yourself, Hitch

    bluescribbler: Well, the main ''experience'' involved the comprehensive fouling-up of the nation's health-care arrangements, so as to make them considerably worse than they had been before and to create an opening for the worst-of-all-worlds option of the so-called HMO, combining as it did the maximum of capitalist gouging with the maximum of ...

  • And your point is...

    If anything the article only proved Cosby to be right! Basically, what was described in the article is likely in any group of people. It doesn't take an economist to tell the average Joe that people look for ways to show their wealth amongst their social group; however, are you saying that Blacks don't have enough sense to realize when this ...

  • article on Hillary Clinton, Barack and the ecomony

    Dear Journaist, I read your article and thought it was fair and honest. I will go the distance with Hillary and it would be a huge loss if she were to decide to end her canditacy. We are talking about two states who have been munipulized where young folks are voting for a clebraty star instead of a President. Voting on a single word CHANGE, ...

  • Re: this is why democrats aren't trusted in office

    ''unfortunately, many democrats not only predict, but apparently embrace the sort of dire outcomes which you're posting.'' Conservatives need to distinguish between wasteful expenditure, and necessary investment in a country's human resource, in order to keep us safe and competitive. This failure is contributing to a balance of payments deficit ...

  • Christian anti-gay workplace harassment costs taxpayers $$$$
