Health Reform in the USA

The New York Times: Reports on the success of the Liberal Leadership in the House of Representatives of passing their health care reform bill, this was done with getting agreement from Conservative Democrats when it comes to abortion, the NYT writes the following, " major concessions from Democratic leaders to opponents of abortion.........only foreshadows the challenges.............as lawmakers try to meld the Senate and House bills..." As noted on Fox News the majority rule in the House, but it is interesting how narrow the win was for the Democrats in the House, the Senate will be a lot harder for the Democrats to use their strong arm tactics against Senators from Conservative States. As stated this blog has opposed the health care reform bill for the reasons stated many times, but my today main problem with this House Bill is that the Liberal Leadership of the House appeased Conservatives when it comes to abortion, the Democrats should recall that without the female vote they don't win, thus the House rush to pass this bill they have sold out women. Its simple the Government should pay for abortions or a major share of the cost, why are women being pushed off a cliff by the Democratic leadership. Thus for this reason as the other mentioned, the cost, the ration of health, this Bill should die in the Senate. Folks contact your Senator, tell them to oppose the Obama Health Care Bill.

Deaths in Afghanistan

MOD: Reports on the deaths of two British soldiers over the weekend, the last death was today on Remembrance Sunday, the soldiers were from the " 2nd Battalion, The Rifles and the 4th Battalion, The Rifles " Thus since 2001 the UK has lost 232 of its Armed Forces Personnel in Afghanistan, of that total, 232 have died in combat operations, while 31 have been lost due to illness, accidents or other incidents. As of the 8/11/09 the UK has lost eight soldiers, and its only the start of the month. The UK Army cant take this level of attrition, also one should recall those that have been injured in combat, there comes a time when we have to look in the mirror and ask three questions, Is the UK right to still be in Afghanistan ? Can the UK win Afghanistan ? Do we need to increase our troop presence ?
