Running the Public Option
In American-style football, a quarterback who " runs the option " receives the ball, runs either right or left (accompanied by another offensive player), and, depending on the opposing defense's strategy, either laterals the ball to his accompanying player to avoid a tackle or keeps the...

Watch the Pots...They'll Eventually Boil
With every new presidential administration comes a different set of priorities and issues, and Congress' legislative agenda reflects this fact. However, while much of the media focus has been on the big ticket items--health care reform, climate change, regulation of the financial industry, and the...

Competition is missing from the healthcare reform attempts
Yesterday, the long awaited Senate healthcare bill was introduced; I was hoping that it would promote sufficient competition, which is missing from all other healthcare bills. The lack of competition or the diminishing of competition in many sectors of the American economy is preventing improvement in...

Pulling out the Bully Pulpit
Tonight President Barack Obama will address a joint session of Congress to outline and clarify his plans for health care reform and to exhort Congress to work cooperatively to enact legislation to expand affordable health care to uninsured Americans. After several tumultuous town hall meetings during...

Health Care Reform We Can Afford
Finally, a form of health care reform that will save us money and lives. No, I'm not talking about the massive, complex, and costly bill that passed through the House Energy and Commerce Committee at the end of July. I'm talking about efforts by the Obama administration -- and a multitude of...

Summertime Blues
Last week I wrote columns on the possible "compromise" on the anti-democratic " Employee Free Choice Act " (HR 1409/S 560) and the proposed "millionaire" surtax designed to pay for health care reforms. I'd like to say that all of the problems with EFCA and the health...

Hold on to Your Pants
Think that the proposed "millionaire surtax" to help pay for health care reforms won't impact job growth? Think again. Last week, the House Ways & Means Committee approved health care surtaxes which, when combined with the expiration of the Bush tax cuts and reversion of the top federal...

What is Health Care Reform? Depends on Who You Ask
Health care reform is a big deal for U.S. businesses, including our electrical manufacturers. Health care costs have grown steadily for more than a decade, and businesses -- which bear much of the cost for their employers -- have felt the strain on their bottom lines.

Time to Relax
Since I am in long-weekend mode already, and don't want to interrupt the reverie by pointing out that firm signs of economic recovery remain elusive, I thought I'd direct readers to some interesting takes on two important policy issues: cap-and-trade and health care. On the health care debate...
