lagilmanSome things from the White House blog you might want to check out:
The unveiling of http://healthreform.gov/ effective today, and worth browsing, even if you already have a stable employer-subsidized medical plan.
"We are here today to discuss one of the greatest threats not just to the well-being of our families and the prosperity of our businesses, but to the very foundation of our economy – and that is the exploding cost of health care in America today." (full remarks available at http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2009/3/5/11956/64929/855/704945)
Also:
