Shift in Congress Puts Health Care Back on the Table


It's past time for this.

If we do not have universal health care by the end of this Congress, there should be national strikes!

Given that our government tells us how afraid we should be of bioterrorism, universal health care should be a national security imperative.

Shift in Congress Puts Health Care Back on the Table - washingtonpost.com:

Health care is set to return to the national political stage in 2007, setting up partisan clashes in Congress that could end with rare vetoes from President Bush and help to define the 2008 presidential campaigns.

After years in which Iraq and national security dominated the debate -- and memories of the 1994 Clinton health plan debacle made major health-care changes politically radioactive -- the return of Democratic control in the House and Senate and the ramping up of the presidential campaigns are expected to bring health policy back into the legislative mix.
