Senator Reid unveiled his health care plan.   Here's an early take on what it does and doesn't do.
What it does do:
Gives insurance to 31 million people.    The CBO estimates that 83% of Americans receive some kind of health coverage and the Reid plan will raise that rate to 94%, or an add of about 31 [...]]]></description>

This is the line that caught my eye, citing Virginia Tech professor of diet and nutrition Judith Rankin:

The health care overhaul plan is split right along party lines.  As Scott Rasmussen's latest poll shows, 81% of Democrats support the Pelosi plan that passed in the house, while 90% of Republicans oppose it.
But with all the partisan squabbling, a new story from the Wall Street Journal indicates the fight may become more young [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Interesting new study released by Yale researchers yesterday.
It suggests that a $0.01 per ounce tax on sugary drinks such as soda could raise as much as $14.9 billion.   That money could be used to fund health care initiatives.
It is irrefutable that our appetite for sugary drinks has contributed to growing waistline levels.     From 1977 to [...]]]></description>

Medicare outlays were $37.5 billion in 1980.
This year they are estimated to be $503 billion.
By 2018, Medicare is estimated to spend $932 billion.

After "months" of work, Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus rolled out his $856 billion dollar health care bill.
Whatever the benefits and drawbacks are to the bill itself, the glaring issue is that little matter of the $856 billion dollar price tag.   Specifically, how that money will be raised.
Baucus estimates that $93 billion will come [...]]]></description>
