When polls continuously showed two-thirds of Americans wanted out of Bush’s disastrous Iraq War, Congress didn’t get it and continued to pour hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars down the drain.  Nor did they get it when the public came unglued at the trillion-dollar bailout of the very financial institutions that caused [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Honorable Senator Baucus:
 
Last week, in the public clinic where I work, I treated a 6-year-old  
girl who had visited the emergency room for cellulitis, an infection  
of the skin, over her hand. Usually a relatively minor condition that  
is easily treated with a 10-day course of antibiotics, cellulitis can  
sometimes cause severe consequences, including life-threatening  
sepsis, if not treated promptly.
 
The reason this patient was notable was because she was uninsured and  
had been sent home with a prescription that her mother tried to fill  
but was unable to afford. How much did the antibiotic suspension cost?  
$500.
 
When I saw her three days after her ER visit, her hand was swollen  
twice the normal size, purple, tender and warm to the touch, with a  
red streak (signifying an extension of the infection from the skin to  
the bloodstream) up to her elbow. I took one look at her and quickly  
made the decision to admit her for IV antibiotics, including a  
consultation with pediatric surgery to ensure that the infection had  
not spread between the deep layers of her skin.
