How about lowering the age of eligibility to "conception"?
By Louise
USA TODAY is reporting- When the swine flu vaccine was most scarce, health officials gave thousands of doses to corporate clinics at Walt Disney World,Toyota, defense contractors, oil companies and cruise lines."As a Democratic member of Congress asked, "Was corporate America buying their way out of an illness?" I think the answer is pretty obvious. Let's not forget that Goldman Sachs got more swine flu shots to pass out at their private, in-house medical clinic for their senior officers on Wall Street, than did some hospitals in the New York area.
The group of 10 Democrats working to break an impasse on the government insurance option are considering changes to other parts of the bill, including creating a Medicare buy-in lowered to age 55. How about lowering the age of eligibility to "conception"?

From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"Hartmann combines a remarkable piece of historical research with a brilliant literary style to tell the grand story of corporate corruption and its consequences for society with the force and readability of a great novel."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann seeks out interesting subjects from such disparate outposts of curiosity that you have to wonder whether or not he uncovered them or they selected him."
From Screwed:
"I think many of us recognize that for all but the wealthiest, life in America is getting increasingly hard. Screwed explores why, showing how this is no accidental process, but rather the product of conscious political choices, choices we can change with enough courage and commitment. Like all of Thom’s great work, it helps show us the way forward."
