Under the misleading title of "Health Care Reform" the Obama Administration and Congressional Democrats have given the insurance companies the biggest boost in history, and screwed ordinary Americans. Congressman Dennis Kucinich has the courage to explain why.

Health Care Reform -- and Our Image of God

Please also read my editorial on health care in the July/August issue of Tikkun, and please note that the NSP is joining with the California Nurse's Association to sponsor a rally for single-payer health care in Washington D.C. July 30th.

NSP/Tikkun Core Vision--and why you should read or re-read it now!

Why read (or re-read) this long statement of our Core Vision?

Obama's Address: Smooth? Yes. Transformative? No. By David Lindorff

[Editor's Note: Lindorff's put-downish tone toward Obama is, in our view, a mistake. It underestimates the degree to which the Obama people intend to be allies to transformation, and hence can be spoken to as comrades rather than as just another misguided group of government bureaucrats. On the other hand, the content of the critique is worthy of serious consideration if one can get beyond its snide tone, and for that reason we bring it to your attention. There is no such problem with Jerome Grossman's call for the U.S. Out of Iraq Now. He restates with clarity this magazine's position which we held from before the war began in 2003.]
