Health care spending in the United States doubled between 1996 and 2006, and is expected to double again in the next decade. Policymakers and political candidates of all philosophical stripes have offered dramatically different strategies for controlling health care spending. These approaches range from placing the locus of health care spending decisions – and risk for health care costs - with individuals and families, to making long-term investments in prevention, better information and better health care quality that will be best realized if all Americans have health care coverage.</p> </div> <a href="/blog/46084-expanding-costs-of-health-care-highlights">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/46012-medical-magic-mushrooms 2008-08-29T14:58:30Z AmericanDrugWar <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/yK06bEmk5jI&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/yK06bEmk5jI&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/46012-medical-magic-mushrooms"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/53371" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>UCLA's Dr. Charles Grob discusses his research into the psychiatric and medical uses of psilocybe cubensis, also known as magic mushrooms. </p> <p>Related: A medical use for magic mushrooms - Johns Hopkins researchers reported in 2006 that the hallucinogen psilocybin, otherwise known as the sacred mushroom, caused a profound mystical experience in the majority of a group of 36 volunteers who took the drug in a laboratory setting.

And I've heard your answers here that [...] if we do what we did 20 years ago with [...] Medicare what we did with Social Security and go back and really kind of fix the problem. Do you have a more concrete answer for what you do for somewhat like Frank who's a veteran like yourself, in a wheelchair, amputee, and can't pay [...] his prescription drug bill?</p> <p>JOHN MCCAIN: "Well the first thing that I would do is make sure that, if he's a veteran, that he gets vet—eligibility for veterans' care. [...] Now we all know about Walter Reed and we know about some of the problems of veterans health care. But there is a flip side to that. And there's a lot of veterans health care facilities that are wonderful [...]. </p> <p>Second of all, [...] there's Social Security disability payments, there are other programs. But if he's not eligible [...] I will make sure that we address that issue [...] A Medi-gap issue is there and we're gonna have to address it as well and put a fix in. No American should go without health care; that's one of the obligations of our society. </p> <p>MCCAIN: "But I also have to tell you if the costs of health care continue to skyrocket, and we don't do anything about that, we're not gonna have affordable and available health care for any American. And we have got to get those costs under control because there are not incentives now for people to keep health care costs down. And that's many of the proposals that I have outlined. Including [...] outcome-based care. [...] There's a pilot program, which has been very successful. It's called cash-in counseling, where we have given seniors actually the money in order to take care of their own health care needs. [...] </p> <p>MCCAIN: "As far as people are in these different doughnuts—and there are a number of them—obviously we have to fix them and we have to fill them. [...] </p> <p>MCCAIN: "And I'd be glad to hear from you and hear from Frank and see exactly how we can help him immediately without working on any specific government program [...]" </p> <p>LABEL: JM CO 7-7 (SD#24) GIDT-ClipJ</p> <p>To download a high res version of this clip, VISIT: <a href="http://issuealliance.box.net/shared/o7ud33dwwo">issuealliance.box.net</a> <br />To download the full campaign event, VISIT: <a href="http://issuealliance.box.net/shared/hdbm4ntw0w">issuealliance.box.net</a> </p> </div> <a href="/blog/45516-john-mccain-town-hall-meeting-07-07-08">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/37928-bayer-s-trasylol-costing-1-000-lives-per-month 2008-08-29T14:58:30Z AmericanDrugWar <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/3OiNbQ-11QU&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/3OiNbQ-11QU&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/37928-bayer-s-trasylol-costing-1-000-lives-per-month"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/42783" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>A renowned researcher estimates that 22,000 patients could have been saved if the Food and Drug Administration removed the heart surgery drug Trasylol two years ago.</p> <p>http://www.americandrugwar.com</p> </div> <a href="/blog/37928-bayer-s-trasylol-costing-1-000-lives-per-month">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/13369-divided-we-fail-forum-prescription-drugs 2008-06-16T15:35:24Z billrichardson <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/vyCGu6esgck&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/vyCGu6esgck&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/13369-divided-we-fail-forum-prescription-drugs"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/13396" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>Gov.
