What if the doctors went out on strike?
Submitted by John R. Graham on 2.25.2008

Do our candidates need vision corrected?
Submitted by Sally C. Pipes on 2.22.2008

The Hidden Dangers of Government Health Care

Submitted by Diana M. Ernst on 2.20.2008
Last month the Senate health committee dumped the Schwarzenegger/Núñez Model ABX1 1, California's trend-setting gadget for health-care repair.

Reject National Health care
Submitted by John R. Graham on 2.18.2008
Last December, Nataline Sarkisyan, a comatose leukemia patient, failed to receive a liver transplant potentially in time to save her life.

If anything, this case should turn us away from that course.

The state Senate Health Committee voted overwhelmingly last month to trash the universal health care plan promoted by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Assembly Speaker Fabian Nuñez.
