		<title>Obama&#8217;s &#8216;New&#8217; Ideas&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This article from The Atlantic, presented to me by my fellow-lefty acquaintance, ToledoLefty, discusses the merits of Obama&#8217;s inclusion of high-deductible health plans (HDHPs) in an effort to reach (further) out to the Right on health care reform, and, specifically asks whether health savings accounts (HSAs) are effective.
In the interest of full-disclosure, I suffer from [...]]]></description>

		<title>Health Care, Obama Style&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[President Obama will finally be weighing in on the health care debate, in a big, big way, today.  He&#8217;s been hands-off for most of the time, much to my (and many other liberals&#8217;) chagrin.
I do understand why.  He&#8217;s avoided getting involved to avoid providing a lightning rod to the right.
What I don&#8217;t understand [...]]]></description>

		<title>Go now&#8230; do this&#8230; Your life depends on it&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If this request offends, I&#8217;m sorry.  Please delete it and understand that I believe that everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
This weekend, it appears that the United States House of Representatives is poised to pass broad legislation that will guarantee that nearly everyone in the United States be covered by health insurance.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>What did he do to deserve it?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today, our president of the United States, was named the winner of the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize.  I was surprised to find this bit of news waiting for me in my e-mail this morning, as a news alert from the New York Times.  I knew that several people were not going to be [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Miami Progressive visits DC&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, I took my family to DC this week, and we&#8217;ve been seeing several different museums.  My attendance at these museums is due to a training event that I was supposed to be enrolled in being cancelled, but my travel being booked and costing as much or more than the original tickets to change.
As [...]]]></description>

		<title>Basic Health Care for Everyone&#8230; (Yes, including seniors&#8230;)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As I stated earlier, we live in the most prosperous country on Earth.  Yet 13% of our fellow citizens hold no insurance coverage of any kind (including 10,000,000 children), and another 7% are underinsured.  What this means, fundamentally, is that 72,000,000 of your friends, relatives, neighbors, perhaps even you, lack the ability to [...]]]></description>

Schale will announce this in a press conference today.

		<title>Teabagging&#8230; again&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The teabaggers were out at the corner of Le Jeune Road and Coral Way in Coral Gables tonight, protesting &#8220;Obama&#8217;s Health Plan,&#8221; decrying universal health care as being &#8220;too expensive&#8221;.
I&#8217;m not quite sure what &#8220;too expensive&#8221; is.  Of course, on that note, I&#8217;m not quite sure what &#8220;universal health care&#8221; is.
In some fashion, we [...]]]></description>

		<title>Obama changes tactic on Iran&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8230; only he really didn&#8217;t.
And if he did, show me because I can&#8217;t see it.
From the Monday following the elections, to yesterday&#8217;s comments in his news conference, President Obama has railed against the vicious treatment protesters in Iran have received at the hands of the Basiji.
He has stopped short of calling the results of the [...]]]></description>
