This wikizine is designed as a clearing house for information and opinions on the ongoing debates over affordability in Health Insurance and the efficacy of universal health coverage.
The national discussion has heated up as more people slip through the cracks of health care costs, or find their current health care insurance leaves them vulnerable. As the national demand for a viable solution to the health care crisis increases, this issue will draw all '08 presidential candidates to weigh in as each puts forth a plan they hope will impress voters. This wikizine hopes to track those proposals and opinions about those proposals.
In addition, the Health Insurance wikizine includes any information that reveals how the system currently works (or fails to work), any news and discussion of plans and proposals for future systems, and all opinions on the road to viable solutions.

1. $940 billion over 10 years, according to the Congressional Budget Office. Yes, if you include the $500 billion Medicare cut, and don't include the Medicare Doctor fix, which will cost around $250 billion more. The CBO admits this. If you include all of these parts of medical costs, you would add $59 billion to the deficit over 10 years (and remember, that is only 6 years of the full program intact). And this includes about $250 billion in...

One of the breathtakingly dishonest ways in which Congressional Democrat Leadership is able to convince wavering Democrats to vote for Obamacare is to point to a report by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) that said that, if all of the rosy assumptions Madame Botox provide to the CBO are correct, then the plan would save about $120 billion net-net in the first ten years of the "reform." The problem is that NOBODY believes that the...
