Why:
Does the US spend more than any other nation?
Do we have health care that is equal to Cuba?
Does no other nation try the US system of Health Care?
Because it is broken and does not work unless you have unlimited wealth or a 'Cadillac' Insurance plan.
It is not about government size, debt, or by some bizarre turn of illogic - socialism.
The business ethic continues to get nastier.
Selling unhealthy products which and more profitable, marketing to kids, fine print advertisements and contracts, merchandising environmentally, wasteful products, deceptive advertising, shock entertainment/commercials sell, but soil social standards, credit gouging. . . .
Should free enterprise be this free?
how much attention to the facts is paid in mainstream political discourse these days? I suspect you may have read Chomsky and his imitators, so let's be honest. does the right-wing media, the Republican caucus on the Senate and Hourse of Representatives, or, for that matter, the Democratic caucus care about the facts (and just the facts)? A consensus conclusion among climate scientists about the cause of global warming has clearly been established, and they continue to monitor the world's climate in an attempt to stay current and publish their findings. Meanwhile, their opponents are busy intimidating them and illegally hacking into their e-mail (just prior to the Copenhagen conference).
in a similar display of contempt for both civil liberties and polite political discourse in this country, the right has adopted, as standard operating procedure, harassment and intimidation of abortion providers in this country. As a result, there's a dearth of abortion providers in many areas of this country. If one side of the aisle is determined to resort to such tactics on a routine basis in the practice of politics and the other is not, historical situations can be used to predict which shall prevail.

The name appeared spelled two ways, "Marjah" and "Marja," in an article on Common Dreams http://www.commondreams.org/headline/2010/03/08-4
In the article cited for this piece, however, they stuck to the spelling of Marja.
I will correct it to be consistent. Thanks for the feedback.

How is the city name spelled: Marja? or Marjah? Both are used in the story.
