NOT about Sarah Palin's $150,000 Wardrobe

Since the election is days away I'd like to draw your attention to a slightly weightier matter, health care reform. (Remember that?)

I wrote last week about the question, is health care a right, a privilege, or a responsibility. This is an ER doctor's interesting take on the question: health care is not a right because rights are limitations on government power.

You may have heard that Paul Krugman won the Nobel Prize for economics this year. I've been going back and re-reading his New York Times columns and blog posts. Here he explains why McCain's health care reform plan is dangerous for many Americans. Here's his view on McCain's idea of marketizing health care.

In the Wall Street Journal, Obama health advisor and Harvard economics professor David M. Cutler explains why Obama's health care reform plan is better.

Here the WSJ looks at two studies that compare Obama and McCain's health care reform plans. Those of you who have a chronic illness, like me, have more to lose with McCain's plan.

Here are the candidates' positions on disability-related issues. (Via Special Needs Truth 08, a great resource.) And let's bring it back to Sarah Palin. Palin opposes tax to help developmentally disabled. Thanks, Queen of Spain, for that link via Twitter!
