- Affordable Health Insurance Reform Urged By President
By: Yamileth Medina | - The Senate is currently involved in a heated debate regarding healthcare reform. Democrats are seeking to expand the availability of affordable health insurance to millions of more Americans. However, their bill has been plagued with infighting, as a result of several disagreements over policy. President Barack Obama, a proponent of comprehensive health insurance reform, visited the Senate on Sunday in order to encourage cooperation among liberal, moderate, and conservative party members.

- Will Democrats Pass Affordable Health Insurance Reform?
By: Yamileth Medina | - The fight over healthcare reform has reached the Senate, and may take longer than previously expected. Reform intended to promote the wider availability of affordable health insurance seems to have lost the momentum recently gained via its nail-biting passage in the House of Representatives. Republican senators have expressed unanimous disapproval of the bill and vow to filibuster in order to block it. Healthcare reform will require 60 votes to pass, which means that the entire Democratic caucus ...

- Bill Clinton: Imperfect Healthcare Reform Better Than None
By: Yamileth Medina | -
The current healthcare reform debate must bring up some bad memories for former President Bill Clinton. He, with the help of then-First Lady Hillary Clinton, tried to enact their own bill to reform the health insurance industry early in his first term. Their attempts failed to receive enough support from his party and failed; the Democrats then suffered a humiliating defeat in the 1994 mid-term elections. Yesterday, he visited the Senate to encourage the Democratic party to vote in ...

- Healthcare Reform With Pre-existing Conditions: Wait 6 Months For Insurance?
By: Yamileth Medina | - The Democrats' healthcare reform bill has been touted as the solution for Americans with pre-existing conditions that make them "uninsurable" in the eyes of private health insurance companies. Normally, underwriters for health insurance plans consider consumers with serious health problems as too high a risk to take on; they profit by collecting premiums while paying as few claims as possible. This has put much of our population in a quandary and helped fuel our current health care crisis. Indee ...

- Differences Between The Republican And Democratic Healthcare Reform Bills
By: Yamileth Medina | - The Republican Party has spent the past several months serving as vocal opposition to the healthcare reform bills supported by the Barack Obama administration and Democratic members of Congress. During that time, they have seen success in influencing public opinion. However, many were frustrated that Republicans hadn't offered their own plan. Surely they didn't believe that the health insurance system in the U.S. is perfect the way it is? Well, the wait is over. Senate Minority Leader John Boehn ...

- Is Abortion Going To Stop Healthcare Reform In Its Tracks?
By: Yamileth Medina | - Healthcare reform seems to be moving along in Congress. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi appears to have a majority of Democratic representatives on board, while Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is on his way to getting 60 votes in the Senate. However, there is one major issue that has the potential to derail Democrats' reform efforts: abortion. Some pro-life Democrats in Congress, like Rep. Bart Stupak are worried that the current bill will force the government to pay for abortions. It isn't ...

- Will Healthcare Reform Cost Democrats Congress?
By: Yamileth Medina | - The Democratic party has made comprehensive healthcare reform its top priority this year. A majority of Democrats in the House of Representatives are backing Speaker Nancy Pelosi's proposal. One of its provisions is the creation of a government-run insurance plan, otherwise known as a public option, to compete with private insurers. A similar program is included in the Senate's reform bill. While the public option is supported by liberal Democrats, some conservative Democrats have concerns. Amon ...

- Isa Obama, The Democrats & The Mass Media Betray Us Again
By: blinksolutions17@gmail.com | - In the year 2006, well before the new century was more than a decade old, the American people decided theyd had enough of the Republicans shenanigans. Specifically, theyd had enough of George W. Bush and his administration lying us into war, violating the constitution and doing its best to shred that fine document, the legacy of our founding fathers. Before the November election, there seemed to be an electricity in the air. People were fed up then and were ready to elect new faces, ...

- Mr. Obama's Magical Oratorical Stimulus
By: farooque | - A couple of days ago, Mr. Obama addressed his fellow Democrats. He gave a speech which some in the media characterized as partisan and derisive to the Republicans who have opposed his stimulus plan all along. I have to admit, Mr. Obama is a good public speaker. Most politicians are. It's tough to obtain high office as an elected official if you're not. I listened to some of Mr. Obama's speech and I must say that he said a number of things that I agree with him about. There is a problem, however. ...

- Health Insurance Quote Reform : Easytoinsureme : July 24, 2009
By: EasyToInsureME | - This Week in Health Reform
Under pressure from both Democrats and Republicans, President Obama seems to be softening his stance on the August recess deadline by stating, "Let's fight our way through the politics of the moment. Let's pass reform by the end of this year." In a news conference Wednesday President Obama worked to reassure an increasingly wary public that health reform will not jeopardize the care most citizens currently receive and urged support for reform efforts.

By: EasyToInsureME | - On the health care reform front, the Senate HELP Committee continues to slug it out amendment by amendment, with Democrats winning all of the important ones on straight party-line votes. The HELP Committee started the week by unveiling its new language on the public plan and the employer mandate, but it still has no language on biogenerics. The committee hopes to complete this work by week's end. The Finance Committee has yet to meet to mark up a bill because it doesn't have a bill as yet - the ...

- Rights And Wrongs Of Health Care Reform : Michael Maiello
By: EasyToInsureME | - So far opposition to the Democrats' efforts at reforming health care has been almost entirely defensive, and that's probably a good thing.
Similarly, when George W. Bush wanted to privatize parts of the Social Security system, the Democrats didn't spend time offering alternatives; they simply beat down Bush's proposals. The difference between Social Security and health care is that Social Security works well for a whole lot of people. Our current health care system doesn't. So Rep ...

Former Gov. Roy Barnes, the likely front-runner among Democrats, was the only candidate missing from first major campaign finance reporting period of the race. Barnes didnt start raising money until after the end of the filing period, which covered the first six ...

By: EasyToInsureME | - HARRISBURG - A bill to open Pennsylvania's government-subsidized health-insurance program to 85,000 more lower-income adults won House approval yesterday.
But the chances of this bill reaching Gov. Rendell's desk appear bleak.
While passage had been a priority of House Democrats, who symbolically numbered it House Bill 1, only a single Republican representative crossed party lines in the 104-96 vote.
It was sent to the Republican-majority state Senate ...

Currently, only 46,000 low-income people between the ages of 19 and 65 are insured through the program, and there are an additional 236,000 adults on a waiting list, said Brett Marcy, spokesman for House Democratic Leader Todd Eachus.

- House Democrats Unveil Healthcare Bill
By: EasyToInsureME | - Senior House Democrats on Friday introduced their plan for reshaping the nation's healthcare system, calling for a new government insurance option, a new mandate on employers to provide coverage and a new guarantee of subsidized healthcare for the poor.
The draft -- the fullest presentation so far of congressional liberals' vision for overhauling medical care -- offered few indications of how such a plan would be financed. The price tag is expected to top $1 trillion.

- Lib Dem's To Scrap Child Trust Fund
By: amnorge | - Last year the Liberal Democrats announced that they would scrap the Child Trust Fund should they win the next election. The Child Trust Fund is a Labour Scheme set up in 2002, whereby the government gives the parents of every new born child 250 to invest on behalf of their child, followed by another 250 when they are seven. Families can then add to this up to the amount of 1200 per year. The child can use the money accumulated from their eighteenth birthday.

- Employee Free Choice Act - A Danger For Employers.
By: Russell Thomas | - One of the most disturbing pieces of legislation vigorously supported by President Obama and most Democrats in Congress is the so-called Employees Free Choice Act (EFCA). The title of the legislation is misleading, because far from protecting worker-free choice, it would deprive employees of a secret ballot election to decide whether employees wish to be represented by a union.
EFCA would amend Federal labor law to require the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) to certify a union as th ...

- Political Polarization In Relationships
By: Shawn Wilson | - Having compatible views and opinions on how to live your lives is an important part of making a relationship work. After all, when you're always on the same page about your lives and the world around you, you don't have too much to argue about in the first place. But for most relationships, that's a lot to ask. With different backgrounds and different basic perspectives on the world, it doesn't often happen that a person's every opinion coincides with his or her partner's.

By: darewin ocampo | - US President Barack Obama has recently signed the gargantuan economic $ 787 billion stimulus bill. And the different programs the Democrats put in it are quite promising, except one, the $ 275 billion tax cut measure.
First of all, through careful analysis, it is quite evident the tax cut program offers an unfavorable cost-benefit relationship. The people with be getting a small amount that will be hardly felt by households. It would be very immaterial and lacks substance to be ab ...

By: IC | - As the US Presidential elections approach, healthcare has taken center stage. While the Democrats debate variant forms of universal healthcare and conservatives tell us we cant afford it, it seems that everyone is trying to answer the wrong question.

John Edwards' campaign is considered by many to have populist themes; lifting up the working class, fighting for the middle class, healthcare for everyone and eliminating poverty.

The defining attribute that makes Edwards appealing may be the reason why he won't win the nomination. He won't take mon ...

By: C. Read | - As with most issues Churchill was a contrarian thinker when it came to the Jewish Question, and the creation of a Zionist State. For 40 years, in the face of media and political criticism, Churchill consistently advocated the necessity of forming in Palestine, a Jewish State, and resisted all varieties of appeasement to Arab demands and violence. It is not an exaggeration to state that Churchill's views and political skills and cunning led the way to Anglo-British support of M ...

In the post-modern, Marx-droid universe of salivating moppets and eager to please relativists ['please daddy tell us again about how nice the Saracens were and evil the Christians?']; it is quite easy to lose sight of reality. Muslims and Arabs good, Christians bad. Arab, Muslim and Turkish imperialism good, European fascist.

By: Douglas Schoen | - Democrats will be making a profound mistake if they follow through on Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's insistence that the party will refuse to provide any funding for the war in Iraq, absent some benchmarks for withdrawal of our troops at least by September 2008.
To be sure, as everyone knows, the American people quite strongly support the notion of cutting off funding for the war in the absence of achieving benchmarks of success for the war in Iraq. And at this point, given t ...

The only conclusion we will be able to draw from a big Democratic win is that Americans are not so much embracing Democrats as much as they a ...

By: Scarlette McCallum | - Senator Joseph Biden just announced his bid for the presidency; a candidacy that will no doubt be embraced by the powerful domestic violence lobby. As sponsor of the Violence against Women Act (VAWA), Senator Biden has championed the cause of eradicating domestic violence and aligned himself with a very powerful feminist special interest. For a Democrat in the Senate, championing this cause is a political no-brainer. The question is will he risk the benefits of this political gravy train to admi ...
