Health Care ReformHealth Care ReformIf your daughter gets sick with Cancer or another life-threatening disease, how will you pay for the treatment she needs to save her life? As heart-warming as community bake sales are, will the proceeds really be enough to pay for her hospital bills?

Unfortunately not.

If you have limited health care now, or don’t have any health care at all, there is a distinct possibility that you won’t have it in the future unless there is serious health care reform soon.

What happens to people when they don’t get preventive care and treatment for serious illnesses?

Obama protestObama protestWe have watched the debate raging in the US over healthcare reform with a kind of puzzlement here in the UK. The level of propaganda and barefaced lying from the Republican right is beyond belief. Watching redneck idiots who would actually benefit from free healthcare holding up banners protesting the idea was just bizarre and a bit sad. Anyone who can compare Obama with Hitler, because he wants to provide healthcare for people who can’t afford it, is beyond help. Read more

Sarah PalinSarah PalinSarah Palin, the failed Vice Presidential hopeful, attempted to make her move on the international stage today without much of a splash. Palin, who apparently did not get the hint during her disastrous defeat in the 2008 when she, by many accounts, helped to sink McCain's grab for the White House seems to think that she still has some hope of a political career and is apparently trying gain some sense of credibility for the next presidential elections Read more

It's all about the CarIt's all about the CarI would just like to send a little message to all of the rich Republicans out there, oblivious to the recession. Wake the Fuck Up! Pardon my French, but did you happen to notice the tiny little thing that is quite possibly becoming a depression in this country? Or were you too busy enjoying your bonuses?

Our unemployment rate is at 9.4% according to a recent New York Times article. This means that virtually a tenth of the population is without jobs and those figures only reflect those actively looking for jobs.

People are still losing their homes to Foreclosures because they can't pay their mortgages, likely because someone in the family lost their job through no fault of their own. Read more
