Robert Kuttner: The Cure That Dares Not Speak Its Name
Sun, 02/28/2010 - 22:21
How does the rest of the club of affluent countries manage to insure everyone for 9 or 10 percent of GDP, and have a healthier and longer-lived population, to boot? They do it, of course, through universal, socialized insurance. What every other nation has in common is that they have taken the commercialism out of their health systems. But most Democratic politicians and policy wonks behave as if the option of a national health plan simply did not exist.

Sun, 02/28/2010 - 18:22
A serious look at the budget reveals some "leaks" -- two in actual spending practices and two in the basic assumptions that undergird the budget itself. Ship-shape as it may look on the surface, this is a budget perilously close to an iceberg.
