Howard Dean discusses the need for immediate public action on healthcare

Fri, 29 May 2009 18:29:14 +0000

Gov. Howard Dean, M.D., former chairman of the DNC and author of Howard Dean's Prescription for Real Healthcare Reform, speaks about the health care options available to America. He sees a clear path forward. A public path forward.

In this video, Dean explains why the public health care option is the smartest choice for America and why it will require the public's involvement to fight off big-money special interest lobbyists from the health care industry.

Howard Dean introduces his book, Howard Dean's Prescription for Real Health Care Reform

Wed, 27 May 2009 16:03:39 +0000

Americans have pondered how to reform healthcare since the days of Harry Truman. But for most Americans, little has changed--except that healthcare costs have soared, health insurance companies have grown bigger and more oppressive to both doctors and patients, and today even those Americans who pay dearly for health insurance frequently find that their policies don't adequately cover them when they need their coverage most.

Something has got to give. In his bold new book, Howard Dean--the physician and former governor widely credited for reviving the Democratic Party after the 2004 elections—tells Americans what needs to be done to successfully reform healthcare. One key, he writes, is to offer Americans the option to participate in a public health insurance program, much like Medicare. "America has had 'socialized' medicine since 1964," says Dean. "It's called Medicare; it covers every American over 65, and they are very happy with the program. The rest of America deserves a similar option."

In this straight-talking guide to overcoming today's healthcare crisis, Dean spells out:

What Obama's healthcare plan is all about
How other countries handle healthcare
Which special interests are standing in the way of progress and why
How healthcare reform will help American businesses prosper
Why Americans need choice--between private and public health insurance coverage

Millions of Americans lack health insurance; millions more pay for coverage that doesn't protect them from serious illness; and the status quo leaves Americans at the mercy of corporate interests. This persuasive argument from a passionate political strategist shows Americans how to take back the healthcare reins.

Today marks the twentieth anniversary of the Exxon Valdez oil spill, one of the worst environmental disasters in history.

It also dealt a staggering blow to the residents of local fishing towns, and the effects of the disaster are still being felt today. We speak with Riki Ott, a community activist, marine toxicologist, former commercial salmon fisherma’am and author of two books on the spill. Her latest is Not One Drop: Betrayal and Courage in the Wake of the Exxon Valdez Spill.

Instead, Clark provides us with helpful expertise on how to save money and build green.

Here, Clark walks us through how to save on costs when building your home. Watch as he points out cost efficient methods such as coordinating trim into every room to tie details together—a cheap yet visually important technique.

Positioning walk-outs and windows towards morning and afternoon light is an inexpensive way to create a feeling of grandeur, and sheetrocking methods can make ceilings look larger without the added cost of raising them. Contrary to what one might think, Clark feels that economic constraints make building a house better, as it limits one’s imagination and focuses.

Instead, Clark provides us with helpful expertise on how to save money and build green.

Here, Clark walks us through the first steps in building a home. He stresses the importance of building within your means, so as to conserve economically, and about the need to think carefully about the site—for example, tuck your home into the land, with the goal to preserve it, not hack away at it. He urges us to consider where the house is in terms of the local water source, the electricity pole, and how to build from a solar point of view. To Clark, bigger isn’t better—small spaces are easier on the wallet, and create warmer, friendlier rooms. He’ll tell us: Where should your favorite workspace be located? How can you make the most of light and solar power? Watch this for new energy and space efficient tips, including a shelf that doubles as a dish rack, and windows high up on the wall to make use of morning sunlight. Clark's style, where utility combines with ingenuity, can be affordable for just about any homeowner. Watch this and learn how to let the land and its resources work for you in a cooperative relationship between your home and habitat.
