WASHINGTON, Sept. 15 — Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton on Monday will lay out a plan to secure health insurance for all Americans while severely limiting the ability of insurers to deny coverage or charge higher premiums to people with chronic illnesses and other medical problems, her aides and advisers say.

Clinton’s purpose, they said, is not only to cover the 47 million people who are uninsured but to improve the quality of health care and make insurance more affordable for those who already have it.

I’ll be interested to see what mechanism she uses to control costs, so we don’t all go broke.

Right now there are cities across America which are having trouble funding basic services, including police, because health care insurance for their employees is getting more and more expensive.

If there’s no competition which controls prices in the health care industry then price control has to be an essential part of any plan that will be successful.

“going well” means the country scraped thru another week without going visibly bankrupt or having the entire top tier under indictment,

Umm, but Egregious? I’m thinking having the entire top tier of the government under indictment would be part of a good week.

Excellent point. Just dreaming of the day when the government is not run by criminals.

Which is, if I am not mistaken one of the biggest Army bases in the country?

Probably just a gross error, but what if it was more. Just for careless, wild-speculation purposes, it is almost as if the parallel nightmare universe we have lived through the past 7 years just changed back to the original one, where Gore would have been president if the parallel universe had not imposed itself.

If it had continued along it’s evil parallel course, the Bush version might have produced intra-military “accident” that would have guaranteed martial law for a decade.

Hey, call it fiction if you want. And if you tell me I’m paranoid, I will thank you for the compliment. With the neocons, when they tell you you’re paranoid, they are probably out to get you.

That certainly explains 9/11. The terrorists just knew we were going to occupy Iraq sometime in the future.

I haven’t read the article or know anything about what she is proposing, but if her insurance scheme is tied to employers and jobs I will scream. I hope she is way past that by now. This will be interesting since she is the major recipient of the health insurance industry’s largesse.

DING DING DING

I can’t imagnine anything substantive on healthcare coming from Hillary Clinton. She had 8yrs. in her husband’s administration plus 6yrs as senator and now she is asking for another 8yrs as president, 23 yrs. in total to do something about healthcare…simply not fooling me.

The nuclear standdown is explicitly because of the mistransport last week. In fact, I would suggest that the fact they are having a procedural standdown over it is good news. Such things are expensive and troublesome; and people have already been relieved of command over it.

Hi Boston,

Professor Robert Pape is one of the top experts on terrorism in our country. His study that terrorism is about occupation, not fundamentalism ties to the NIE report, CIA and military intelligence. If most experts agree than why do both Parties support having our military long term on Muslim soil?

AC-It’s the occupation, not the fundamentalism

Last month, Scott McConnell caught up with Associate Professor Robert Pape of the University of Chicago, whose book on suicide terrorism, Dying to Win, is beginning to receive wide notice. Pape has found that the most common American perceptions about who the terrorists are and what motivates them are off by a wide margin. In his office is the world’s largest database of information about suicide terrorists, rows and rows of manila folders containing articles and biographical snippets in dozens of languages compiled by Pape and teams of graduate students, a trove of data that has been sorted and analyzed and which underscores the great need for reappraising the Bush administration’s current strategy. Below are excerpts from a conversation with the man who knows more about suicide terrorists than any other American.
