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:
"Beneath the success and rise of American enterprise is an untold history that is antithetical to every value Americans hold dear. This is a seminal work, a godsend really, a clear message to every citizen about the need to reform our country, laws, and companies."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Right through the worst of the Bush years and into the present, Thom Hartmann has been one of the very few voices constantly willing to tell the truth. Rank him up there with Jon Stewart, Bill Moyers, and Paul Krugman for having the sheer persistent courage of his convictions."
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."
