On Health Care...

[Updated August 26 with links in the end of the posting]. Links from Avaaz on the proposed health care reform in the US:

Myths about the proposed health care reforms, extreme tactics of the conservative right, also see here, Paul Krugman on health care*, the extent of the health care lobby, health insurers stocks rise as health care plans fade, and about the truth about Europe’s Health Care.

Also read Johann Hari in “Republicans, religion and the triumph of unreason - How do they train themselves to be so impervious to reality?” and The Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Addition: * Paul Krugman on universal health care in USA, see the following.

”At this point, all that stands in the way of universal health care in America are the greed of the medical-industrial complex, the lies of the right-wing propaganda machine, and the gullibility of voters who believe those lies.”

On health care in Great Britain, NHS - and Stephen Hawking.

Addition August 26: See “Public health care: Canadian perspective on myths and reality” and "The Cause of My Life” by Edward Kennedy.
