Doesn't Machiavelli warn that once one goes to the extent of their power they no longer have it? A filibuster of health care legislation would be an admission that the G.O.P. has no more options in its arsenal of opposition.
The temptation to attribute Obama's, and the Democratic Party's, failings to elitism and a lack of concern for working class, white voters is strong, even among some progressives.
I've avoided commenting on the healthcare controversy too much because, first, it's a massively complex issue that would require several posts to do j...
Bill Frist is the former Republican Senate Majority Leader. He is the author of the new book: A Heart to Serve: The Passion to Bring Health, Hope, and Healing.
The single House Republican who voted for the Democrats' health-care legislation is a first-term congressman from a strongly Democratic -- and very po...
Whether or not Harry Reid ever gets his act together, the achievement of Nancy Pelosi getting healthcare reform legislation should stand on its own as an admirable political achievement.
We're urging you to sign a petition to Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid regarding the 20 formerly pro-choice men who voted for the virulently anti-choice Stupak Amendment last Saturday.
If the U.S. government were a corporation, the new health care "division" would represent a major acquisition. Companies don't add units without combining, consolidating, streamlining, and reducing.
Nobody promised you this would be easy, Harry. But, hell, why are you there, anyway? Your responsibility is to do the right thing by the American people and bring down future health-care costs.
Wellness can be described as a state that combines health and happiness. Thus those factors that contribute to being healthy and happy also will be contributing to being well.
National Radiologic Technology Week is celebrated annually to recognize the vital work of Radiologic Technologists across the nation.
My family and I often had to make health care decisions based on finances. The results were disastrous: either our finances suffer or our health does. This scenario plays itself out everyday across our great nation and a change has to come.
If Democrats and progressives are really concerned about middle-class votes -- and they should be -- it's statements like a recent pronouncement by Rachel Maddow that should concern them.
If the Great Depression taught us anything, it is that slashing spending in the name of deficit reduction is a great way to exacerbate a bad economic situation.
Despite all evidence to the contrary, the congresswomen want us to believe that Republicans are sticking up for women. But the fact is their party has consistently opposed providing families with better health care.
Let me begin by making it very clear that I value all life--potential or fully realized--but that I am also pro-choice. How can this be? Well, unlike ...
In my view, the real solution to the problem of how to reform health care in this country is a Medicare-for-all, single-payer system.
Even ignoring how critical it is to overhaul our broken health care system, most of the 39 Democrats who voted against reform in the House last week still made a political mistake. Here's why.
President Obama has stressed the importance of "bending the cost curve." The fastest way to do this is shockingly simple: carefully explain to patients the known risks and benefits of procedures.
With every month that goes by without health care reform, another 3,600 Americans die due to a lack of insurance. And Joe Lieberman, like Elaine in that classic Seinfeld episode, is stopping off for Jujyfruits.
I used to say I was politically pro-choice but personally pro-life, meaning I would never consider having an abortion. That was until I was faced with the choice of carrying a baby to term myself.
