When Peggy Robertson went shopping for a more affordable health insurance plan for her self-employed husband and two young boys, she ran into an unexpected problem: the birth of her son Luke in 2006 by caesarean section. The healthy young mother was shocked when the Golden Rule Insurance company denied her coverage due to the C-Section birth of her son. "I called Golden Rule and they said that if I would get sterilized, they would then be able to offer insurance to me."

A good post by a commenter points out how this is propaganda.
I have a 17-year-old nephew who is a smart kid but a very poor student. He's kind of always been coddled by his mom (my sister), who has made excuses for his inability to comply with the basic requirements of schooling since early elementary school. What may be in part this past, in part his innate stubborn nature and in part a real disability, he has always had a hard time reading and never did well in school.
Perhaps you should listen to your own family instead of worshiping the government and asking some random newspaper shill for advice on how to run someone else's life... Oh, sorry, that would require you to actually apply yourself and do real work, my apologies. Just tell yourself he is crazy and turn him into the authorities like a good little soviet. Be sure to drink your fluoride, take your damn vaccines, and never question the government, because that is a mental illness, after all, you don't want to be put in the camps which don't exist right!?! Good! Now just gobble them pills and tell yourself everything is going to be alright! - Chris

WASHINGTON (CNN) — The nation's first family will not get any special dispensation when it comes to the much awaited vaccine for the H1N1 virus, President Obama tells CNN.
Asked about plans for his family's health in an interview that airs Sunday on CNN's State of the Union, the president said he intends to consult with his Health and Human Services Secretary and the Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Big brother: The existing 240-litre bin, left, is to be replaced by a 180-litre version, right, for households containing more than three people and a 140-litre container, not pictured, for couples and people living on their own
Families are to be issued with 'bonsai bins' to make homeowners reduce the amount of rubbish they throw away.
The scheme will see one city's standard-sized 240-litre wheelie bins, used by more than 150,000 homes, removed and replaced... (more)
In a 12 minutes address on audio tape, Al Qaeda chief Usama bin Laden, spoke to the American people on the eighth anniversary of 9/11. The tape was produced by the as-Sahab propaganda arm of the terror group and posted on various Jihadists forums last night. His address, directed "to the American People," asserted that the main reason for the Al Qaeda attacks on New York and Washington on September 11, 2001, was U.S. support for Israel as well as "some other injustices." Interestingly Usama clai... (more)
Honestly, I'm surprised he didn't come out and say he is against Obamacare, as I have been half-way jokingly predicting with my friends for the last month ;) - Chris
SAN FRANCISCO - The news media's credibility is sagging along with its revenue.
Nearly two-thirds of Americans think the news stories they read, hear and watch are frequently inaccurate, according to a poll released Sunday by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press. That marks the highest level of skepticism recorded since 1985, when this study of public perceptions of the media was first done.
The poll didn't distinguish between Internet bloggers and rep... (more)
Hilarious, the NYT shill tries to blame this on the internet, "News Media" in most people's minds is almost entirely the television, and at most the TV and a few major newspapers. No one thinks of "bloggers" as the news media.
There are so many different websites on everything under the sun from millions of different perspectives, no one really considers "the internet" as a whole credible or as the "News Media." Also those who get their news online generally tend to go to sites they already agree with, so their credibility is not at issue. Even still, most of the news on the internet comes from AP, Reuters, CNN, Fox News, NYT, etc. anyways.
No matter what spectrum of the political aisle you are from, you are not going to think of "the internet" as some single entity to judge its credibility. The "News Media", aka TV networks, on the other hand are thought of as predominately one entity.
They are just doing anything they can to try to slant public perception because they don't want people waking up to the fact no one beyond the most brainwashed of people listens to them anymore. They are losing their grip faster than ever and they are getting desperate. - Chris, IL

Christopher Kelly, 51, of Burr Ridge was sitting up on a gurney while being interviewed by the officer, Welch said. Based on what Kelly told the officer, police are “fairly certain” he tried to kill himself, Welch said.

InformationLiberation Analysis: Wow this film is nuts, first off, the racism is insane, who the hell do these people think they are calling everyone "nigga"? Just blatant unabashed racism, I am just not used to seeing things like this where I live, how do you call some white person a "nigga" in front of some grown black men? No respect.
My second thought was this kid should be standing up for his freedom and directing his anger towards his real oppressors instead of some random protesters who happen to be a little flagrant, how would this kid react to some tax man in a suit threatening him? How much do you want to bet he would cower and lick boot?
This fake thuggery is just such a comical joke, you're not some tough guy because you go around assaulting random strangers, try reading a book and not being some ignorant plebe working against your own best interests. These are the exact type the controllers set up to go bomb some building, the government is going to set these people up with such ease and then it's off to the Halliburton concentration camps for these "tough guys" (and their innocent family members).
Just look at the way he dresses, the social programmers must be laughing their asses off, these fake tough guys are the most easily manipulated. Next they will say putting on a bozo nose is "hardcore".
This video is just such a testament to the power of simplistic brainwashing. They stand on their heads and think they're working for their freedom. They love Mexico so much despite it being a fascist oligarchy run by whites, their living standard is horrendous and the entire country is run by Anglo-Saxon imperialists, how is that something to want to spread?
They hate whites and blacks and yet they want their white owned country to colonially expand into the United States, wonderful. Why don't you go take over your own country if your such a tough guy? No, they just want to come here and work for slave wages and act hard like the idiot rappers they see on TV. They think they are going to rob their way to freedom but I am afraid they are sadly mistaken. If anyone knows people like this you need to explain to them they are going to be set up and they are admittedly to be the first in line for Halliburton's concentration camps.- Chris
GREEN BAY, Wis. – Maybe Brett Favre lost the keenest segment of the Green Bay Packers fan base long ago. Maybe he lost them when every summer began to orbit around him, and every roster decision was applauded or disparaged based on how it impacted No. 4. Maybe he lost them in one tumultuous offseason after another, when his emotional whims became reason enough to hold the franchise hostage.
Or maybe he really, truly lost them on Tuesday, when he signed with the hated Minneso... (more)
The masses get all in a tizzy over some meaningless petty nonsense but if you take their rights away and trample on their freedoms you don't hear a peep.
CHICAGO (MarketWatch) -- News Corp. said Wednesday it swung to a quarterly loss on $680 million in impairment, restructuring and other charges, most of them in their Fox Interactive Media unit, as the struggling worldwide economy held a firm grip on the media conglomerate.
Chairman Rupert Murdoch said that while economic downturn may have bottomed, "there are no clear signs of a fast recovery."
Murdoch, speaking to analysts and reporters during a conference call, sa... (more)

Frank Lombard is an associate director at Duke University's Global Health Institute and a homosexual who was charged last week with the molestation of his adopted 5-year-old black son and actively trying to sell him for sex on the internet. The 40 words above are 40 more than the Main Stream Media has said on this horrible story.
In nearly a week since Lombard was arrested, not one national broadcast or cable television news show has picked up the story. Compare this to the weeks ... (more)

I did a little digging around and I found this article from the Duke Global Health Institute, the same institute which appointed this man "Associate Director of the Center for Health Policy for the Health Inequalities Program".
