As you're reading this I'm sure your eyes are beginning to roll, indicating how peeved you're probably getting over yet another tirade on the subject of health-care-overhaul. Fear not. To prevent this article from joining the all-embracing tautology of...

Dr. Jason Newsom railed against burgers, french fries, fried chicken and sweet tea in his campaign to promote better eating in a part of the country known as the Redneck Riviera. He might still be leading the charge if he had only left the doughnuts alone

It's official: most Americans want a public option healthcare plan. Barack Obama actually has the political capital to make it a reality. So why is it that so many Democrats, their tails tucked firmly between their legs, have set about undermining it?

In 1787, the U.S. signed an agreement to provide Native Americans with free healthcare on reservations. Yet today, Native American health fares poorer than the average American in cancer, diabetes, heart disease, stroke, HIV, and infant mortality.

The potential that is offered by this facility seems endless. The property includes 638 acres of both hilly and level pasture land. A river runs through the property and sweat lodges have been built on its banks. There are high points/ledges, private...

Pro-life extremists imagine a country awash in abortions, but they are much harder to procure than most people realize. The truth is that in most places in the United States abortions are technically legal, but they are often nearly impossible to obtain.

Each year, 20,000 Americans die from lack of access to healthcare. Almost 50 million people in this country have no insurance. With unemployment skyrocketing and costs continuing to spiral upwards, things will only get worse for us. This is unacceptable.

Cuts in Public Mental Health and Medicaid are putting lives at risk. The mentally ill are facing hard choices: go to the the ER when in crisis, go without care, risk suicide, become homeless, self-medicate, go to jail, become crime victims or worse.

Health care is a human right. It is not a product that an insurance company should be profiting from. Please support a single payer, national health insurance plan that includes all Americans and leaves nobody out. We need expanded Medicare for all.

In the richest nation in the world it is unacceptable that millions of uninsured families can't afford to provide their children with regular visits to the doctor or dentist. Being uninsured also means more than just not being able to see the doctor.

Every year, 76 million Americans are sickened from consuming contaminated food - and 5,000 of these people die. That's more than the number of individuals who lose their lives as a result of fire or unintentional drowning in the U.S. each year.

Each year 1.4 millions Americans, 3,800 per day, will hear the words "You have cancer." About 46 million Americans have no health insurance. Many more do not have coverage that will protect them if they are diagnosed with a chronic disease such as cancer.

Target: U.S. House of Representatives. Around the world, more than 25,000 children under the age of 5 die every day from preventable and treatable diseases, and about 536,000 women die from pregnancy and birth-related causes. That's simply unacceptable.
