A couple of worthwhile reads...

* An extremely well put together article on health care reform... explains that we already have government bureaucrats determining the value of a life and other 'rationing' of health care with our current policies.

* Nobel Laureate Paul Krugman's take on how the Blue Dog Democrats could screw up health care, their party as a whole, and even the Obama presidency.



and then if you're still bored:

* An article about Francis Collins (former head of The Human Genome Project, and newly appointed director of the NIH) and some of Collins' religious belief that could present a conflict of interest for the man controlling a $30 billion research budget.
