Five Months is too long to wait, indeed!

WITH THE passing of Edward Kennedy, a special election will be conducted to elect a US senator who will serve the remaining three years of his term. This special election will not be held until January. This means Massachusetts will have only half its representation in the Senate until then. With the Senate scheduled to deliberate on health care this fall, Massachusetts should have two votes not one.[...]

note:
We should not wait five months to find a replacement of one member of the cabinet who is already gone.
How I wish I know more about politics so I, myself would be able to understand why we should wait?!

Why skilled immigrants fleeing the U.S.?

Lured by the prospect of climbing to the top of his field, New Delhi native Swaroop Ganguly came to the U.S. 10 years ago and earned a Ph.D. in electrical and computer engineering from the University of Texas at Austin in 2005.

Stimulus advancing health reform

Obama team sees stimulus advancing health reform
In the legislation passed late Friday, Congress approved spending about $19 billion over the coming years on electronic health records and an additional $1.1 billion on research comparing which treatments work best for a particular disease.

Also, the bill sets aside about $1 billion for a "prevention and wellness fund." About $300 million of that money would provide additional immunizations. Most of the rest of that money will go to state and communities to help them tackle smoking, obesity and various preventable health problems.

"This represents the beginning steps of the president's health reform vision," said Jenny Backus, a spokeswoman for the Health and Human Services Department. "It's designed to get relief to people who need it most and to do everything we can to bring down the cost of health care, and improve access and quality." [readmore...
