I think that the last discussion we had was great. I learned a lot about Wisconsin's health care and about the personal stories and issues that are in our group. From the feedback of last week's meeting I think that we want to stay on the subject of health care for one more week but to have it more policy orientated. So below is an op-ed from the Wall Street Journal that I thought we can discuss. So come with your agreements or disagreements and lets discuss it.

FYI: -The Senate Finance Committee just approved the Health Bill today. -The America's Health Insurance Plans released a report out yesterday that says that the new health bill will increase family health-insurance policy in the near future.

*****I thought the BBC did a great job explaining, in more simple terms, the system we have and what we want we may change.

*****This was from Liz and it goes into a lot of details on where the cost of rising health care is coming from.

*****NPR also has a great interactive chart that helps us to understand what each of the health proposals mean to us depending on our health insurance status.
