While GM may be on the road to financial health, America continues down the same old road of health care going, going, gone for millions of Americans.

The minute Lord meets Legislator all hell busts loose. We liberal believers don't recognize the far-right's God. South Carolina Republican Kevin Bryant is a leader in the Let's Prove God's a Goon PAC.

For a relatively small amount of money, we can provide primary health care to every American in need of it through an expansion of the successful Federally Qualified Health Center program.

I wish I had something exciting to share with you about the America's Health Insurance Plans conference, but Bill Frist, the reptile that he is, never seemed to break a sweat.

HCAN is right that we must mobilize a massive citizens' movement for universal healthcare. Where they're mistaken is in trying for a compromise that will never work.

Given the amount of debt most doctors accumulate in medical school and the price of housing in many places in the U.S., doctors' declining pay could be the issue that tips the scales toward healthcare reform.

Most politicians say they favor some kind of health care "reform," but HCAN is mobilizing a citizens' force that can make sure we do it right -- based on choice, affordability, shared responsibility, and fairness.

Sadly, the Libertarian heart apparently does not include health care. The guy raised tens of millions of dollars and couldn't afford the $300-$600 a month that COBRA medical insurance would have cost.

If McCain is allowed to determine our future medical care, we will continue to suffer as a nation from a system designed to cater to only the smallest percentage of the very most wealthy people on earth.

Even after the House gave overwhelming bipartisan support to the Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act by a vote of 355-59 (including 129 Republican votes), the Senate fell two votes short to overcome a presidential veto.

As the costs of health care surge ever higher, the financial barrier to care has clearly become the biggest impediment of all.

The key to neutralizing the natural advantage McCain holds with seniors is to convince them that Obama wants "safe change" -- that he himself is "safe" and predictable.

It's sad and disgusting to me that that I considered cost when my only thought should have been getting my son immediately to the hospital. Within a month, my son and I had accumulated $40,000 in medical bills.

No modification -- universal health care; HIPAA; Patients' Bill of Rights; caps on malpractice awards; UMRA -- can make the current system give us what we want. We need a new system.

What are those of us oblivious to the economy or the war voting on? Gay marriage? Abortion? Lapel pins? Chances are many of us may again vote only to our comfort level, as we did with George Bush.

Who doesn't want health insurance? A few 20-somethings too blinded by their partying to picture the illnesses they're courting? For many others, the heart is willing, but the pocketbook is weak.

After the dust from last Tuesday primaries settles, one thing will be clear; Hillary probably can't win the nomination herself but she can stop Obama from winning.
