In this morning's New York Times, Paul Krugman tells the stories of just a few of the 27,000 uninsured or underinsured Americans each year whose deaths could be prevented by adequate access to health care. He refutes President Bush's ludicrous claim a few months ago that people do have access to health care in this country, "After all, you just go to an emergency room."

There is an incredibly compelling article in today's New York Times about a financial crisis that threatens to close Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta, GA. As Atlanta's only public hospital, Grady serves the majority of the region's uninsured and underinsured.

Here is a clip from remarks on universal health care by the ragin' Cajun, James Carville.  He spoke last weekend at the forum I hosted on H.R. 676 at the Congressional Black Caucus Annual Legislative Conference.

Check back soon for more video clips!

Here is a clip from the forum I hosted on universal healthcare and H.R. 676 at last weekend's Congressional Black Caucus Annual Legislative Conference. This clip features Julie Pierce, who you might recognize from Michael Moore's latest movie Sicko. Later today I'll post clips from James Carville's remarks.

I'll be posting more clips over the next few days from the rest of the conference, including from the forum I hosted on the Jena Six, so be sure to check back soon!
