I really didn't think this article had enough depth to add much to the discussion or to really support its points (whatever they were).

Yet again there is NO mention of mental health care whatsoever. It is long overdue that reporters across the broad started to ask this most question. Mental illness equals bad physical health.

In addition to my notes on journalism, this is complete coverage of the latest Obama round of discussion on health care. It just makes me very mad ... More »

A rather well-organized article; I like the various headings dealing with each aspect of the president's plan. Adding opposing views is also helpful.

This is a political critique of president Obama's health care agenda, in my view giving too much credibility to Republicans' objections. The Republican bias is obvious, so I am unsure if the argument is fair.

I really hope there will be a substantial health care reform in the sense president Obama has in mind, since its benefits should outweigh its risks by far.

America is financially broke and we will all end up with VA health style benefits which means our life expectancy will decline. This will be the goal of government, reduce life expectancy to save on SSI. If they can't manage veterans medical programs, how much worse will this takeover get. You get what you pay for and this is just one more nail in the coffin in America's quality of life and freedom of personal choice.
