In a Time of Economic Trouble, Which Presidential Health Reform is Good Medicine?
Submitted by John R. Graham on 10.29.2008
With the specter of a serious recession looming, many Americans fear unemployment and loss of health coverage.

Why Americans Won't Tolerate Overseas 'Models'
Submitted by Sally C. Pipes on 10.15.2008
Everyone knows that American health care is in crisis. Its poor quality arrives accompanied by a huge bill and lack of universal coverage.
