Health Law Myths: Outside The Realm Of Reality
|
3.9.2010 |
NPR News |
| Are you really going to have to have a computer chip implanted in your head as part of the new health law? Will the law allow President Obama to create his own private army? While there are outrageous rumors circulating about the health law, some claims are grounded in truth. |

| It was just about a year ago that we were hearing stories about President Obama's intention to escalate the war in Afghanistan. Again. The president's most ardent defenders insisted that we shouldn't listen to unnamed and anonymous sources, and should instead wait and see what happened. And then when he escalated, pretty much as had been reported, we were told that it was the right move, and we should support it. The same dynamic played out with the public option. For months, while it became increasingly apparent that the president wouldn't fight for a public option, we were told that he kept saying he supported one, and we didn't know what was going on behind the scenes. When the public option was punted, we were told that it never had been all ... |

What Can Obama Really Do?
|
31.8.2010 |
NewsTrust Yahoo Pipes Feed |
| A zombie argument is going around about why Obama hasn't accomplished liberal and progressive ends to the extent many would have liked him to:
Obama can't do anything because he needs 60 votes in Congress and he doesn't have them because Republicans and Dems like Lieberman and Nelson won't vote for his programs.
This argument is misleading in one sense and incorrect in another. It is misleading in that it misrepresents how things get done in Congress. It is incorrect in that many liberal policies do not require the consent of Congress.
Let's examine the misconceptions this zombie argument is built on.

Let's look at how things get done in Congress. Obama apologists make the excuse that Obama couldn't have passed a ... |

Union legal challenge to NHS reform

The Guardian -- Front Page |
| Union applies for judicial review on grounds that consultation process being conducted by health secretary is a 'sham'
The public sector union Unison today said it would go to court to try to block the coalition government's plans for a radical reorganisation of the NHS.
The union is applying for a judicial review on the grounds that the consultation process being conducted by the health secretary, Andrew Lansley, is a "sham".
The consultation on the plans – which involve GPs being given control of £80bn of NHS spending – runs until October, but the department for health has already indicated that the plans are non-negotiable and Unison claims this makes the process unlawful.
The government said it would be fighting Unison's legal ... |

What Social Security Can Teach Us About the Future of Health Care
|
13.8.2010 |
Truthout - All Articles |
| Americans will learn to love health care reform, just as they did Social Security, if it’s made to work for all of them.
At the heart of the right-wing attack on the new health care law’s individual mandate is the fact that law has the potential to become like Social Security, a popular entitlement that is an integral part of the American social fabric. Whether that promise is realized depends on no small measure on whether Congress will make improvements over time in the health care law to assure that health coverage is affordable.
