Hello Brad!
I have been reading your blog and I have something that I know would be of great interest to your readers. The Supreme Court hears arguments later this month on the constitutionality of President Obama’s health-care law. This makes the coming weeks a good time to ask the question: does America even have a “health care system?”
Dave Walker has created a three-minute video on health care and social insurance programs for CAI’s next “Myth of the Month.” Please consider sharing the video with your readers.
Dave Walker is the former U.S. Comptroller General and CEO of the nonpartisan Comeback America Initiative. His new video lends an authoritative fiscal voice to this important national discussion.
Mr. Walker’s video examines the following points:
1. We neither have efficient nor effective system
2. We practice sick care, not health care
3. Our health care costs are out of control
Myth of the Month is a new monthly video feature that takes a head-on look at myths about policy issues that impact the national deficit. Previous Myth videos have covered the State of the Union and the federal budget.
Please check out the video here: http://www.youtube.com/ComebackAmericaTV
Dave Walker is traveling in Europe, but I can get you email quotes from him, or connect you with the research associates at the Comeback America Initiative. I look forward to hearing back from you!
Warm Regards,
Noreen

Hi brad. You wrote an article in the huffington post a few years back regarding the cost of prescription drugs worldwide. The Information was interesting; but you didn’t give a link to your source that I could see and I was wondering if you could provide that source. Since we specialize in providing info to seniors, I was also wondering if u knew of any sources that would provide info concerning the top 5 most often prescription drugs used by those over 65. Appreciate the help.
