With all the different approaches in tackling health care reform, President Obama takes another route and this time involving the public. Obviously, the private discussions between the House of Representatives and the Senate did not resolve anything. So for a change, last February 25, the half-day-long discussion on healthcare was televised live on C-SPAN. Also this time, Republicans were included in the negotiations.

Admittedly, most Republicans in Congress had publicly announced that they had no intention of voting for the medical insurance changes no matter what. Therefore, in hopes to prove that he will not be biased with this matter, the President encouraged the Republicans to step up and provide their…

According to Dr. Joseph Goldberger, chief medical officer for the Yavapai Regional Medical Center and a rheumatologist with a private practice, 15 to 20 percent of his patients are insured by the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System, the Arizona equivalent of Medicaid.

Have you heard the news? Due to the public budget deficit, local officials are planning to eliminate subsidy for Arizona’s KidsCare, the state health program that covers 47,000 children of the working poor. Gov.
