The real cost of the "health care" discourse is HEALTH!
Framing the discussion only in terms of health care costs and insurance is as tunnel visioned as framing the swine flu threat in terms of vaccines.
Our society has proved it is quite capable of placing many more abulances at the bottom of the cliff, but painfully inept and in denial about how to stop the accidents from requiring them.
A TRUE discussion on HEALTH Care might include why the USDA and FDA , combined with the WHO and Surgeon General, and Congress, have refused to promote a system of agriculture that supports healthy, sustainable, wholesome nutrition to prevent diet related diseases.
Our justice system that enables products to be created and sold that are clearly at the root of human disease and threaten ALL life on earth, meat, dairy, chemical laden, "food" created in labs, makes me wonder how we can teach children right from wrong when there are several justice systems.
The media does a poor job in educating and informing the public about doctors who are writing books, making documentaries, about vegan diets being used ( as they have for centuries ) to reverse and cure disease.
The focus on health care through the myopic lense of insurance does pathetically little to get people eating in ways that will end disease, end environmental chaos and devastation animal agribusiness is causing, and mitigate the egregious, incalculable suffering we inflict upon other beings caught in the acculturated ideology that animals are mere commodities.
We ARE eating the planet to death and experiencing organ failure as well.
THe real story is how the food system has been hyjacked by Monsanto, ADM, Cargill, chemcial companies, and how the medical industrial complex has no interest in promoting HEALTH!

Trudy, have you looked into how GATS might be a dangerous wild card with regard to health policy
The US-Antigua online gambling case of several years ago amde it clear that GATS CAN suddenly trigger. One good resource is Global Trade Watch.

Trudy,
Just received the latest Nebraska mag-congratulations on a well-earned award!!
Miss reading you in CR-but have followed some of your articles in CJR. Retirement in Texas is OK-moved here 2 years ago. Heading back to SB next week-first time since we moved.
Keep up the good work!!

Thanks so much Bob. Good to hear from you. Did not know that you had retired. Texas may be warmer than SB in the winter, I guess. I am glad you read us on cjr.org. The posts are certainly shorter than the old CU stories.
Enjoy SB.
