HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

“The Colbert Report” this week found something a little ghoulish about the resurrection of the public option just in time for Halloween, though, as I argue in this video, the public option may be necessary to kill the real monster threatening the United States: rising health care costs.

The short clip from “The Colbert Report” I use in this video comes from a segment broadcast on Comedy Central on October 29, 2009, currently available in full at http://www.colbertnation.com/the-colbert-report-videos/253997/october-29-2009/threatdown—halloween-edition

The image of the bar graph comparing US health care spending to the spending in the other 29 member countries of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) is a public domain image available at http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a1/International_Comparison_-_Healthcare_spending_as_%25_GDP.png

The original source of that graph (along with a lot of other great information) is at http://www.whitehouse.gov/assets/documents/CEA_Health_Care_Report.pdf

The images from the 2004 article in Health Affairs titled “How Does The Quality Of Care Compare In Five Countries?” come from the document available online at http://content.healthaffairs.org/cgi/reprint/23/3/89

Hello! I’m Kristin Volk on this Friday, the 30 of November 2007 with a UPI Headline Update.

President Bush is urging Congress to approve billions of dollars in war funding before Christmas. He said that if Congress doesn’t clear the funds, the Army would have to shut down bases and start laying off more than 100 thousand civilian workers by mid-February. Defense Secretary Robert Gates has already ordered the Army and Marine Corps to plan for cutbacks. A spokesman for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says the speaker has no plans to revisit war funding before the end of the year.

Meanwhile, Congress is close to raising fuel economy standards for most U.S. cars and trucks. The bill would increase the corporate average fuel economy standard to 35 miles per hour fleet-wide by 2020. Right now, the standard for cars is 27 and a half miles per gallon and just more than 22 for trucks. However, the legislation also has several significant loopholes that would allow auto companies to get around the new limits.
The Senate passed the mandate in June, and the House is expected to vote next week.

Pakistan’s Pervez Musharraf says his country’s state of emergency will be lifted and the constitution restored in less than three weeks. That’s before the general election is held January 8. Musharraf made the announcement yesterday, after being sworn in to presidential office as a civilian for another five-year term. The move was welcomed by main opposition leader Benazir Bhutto, who intends to take part in the general elections under protest. But former Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif said his party would boycott and demanded the reinstatement of judges done away with by Musharraf.

Public health officials are calling for tighter restrictions on salt content in food. They argue that cutting back on its overuse could save thousands of lives each year. The Center for Science in the Public Interest wants the Food and Drug Administration to beef up labeling, require manufacturers to cut salt in packaged foods, and subject it to stricter regulations. The FDA hasn’t considered this issue since 1982 but says it’s the right time to revisit it.

That’s all for now. Check out our weekly wrap-up from the White House today on upi.com. For all of us at UPI, have a nice weekend!

This short spot contains humorous moments from U.S. Rep. Russ Carnahan’s (D-MO) Monday healthcare forum. It concludes with “TheBlackSphere.net” Kevin Jackson Black asking: “If it’s so good why doesn’t Congress have to be on it?”

“Things that make you go ‘hmm…’.”

Special thanks to http://www.youtube.com/dsm0012 (who has the http://rebootcongress.blogspot.com blog) and who graciously agrees with me in regard to the fact that this appears to be in the public domain -and said it was OK to use it so long as I don’t change the meaning by editing.

PS: I take a swipe at Democrats, but Republicans aren’t much better: THEY ALSO have a healthcare plan of their own -instead of using the one they foisted upon us. LIKEWISE, I ask fellow-REPUBLICANS: “If YOUR plan’s so hot, why don’t YOU use it?! –LOL”

I’m Gordon Watts, and I approve this message. (PS: This ObamaCare vid is good – Pass it on.)
