Have you seen their commercial thats been runnning recently during prime time tv breaks?

Voice for the Uninsured is actually a web address for the AMA (American Medical Association) and the commercial exposes the fact that the biggest disease of all is still waiting for a cure and that is the 46 million uninsured.

First off, I have read in most other publications and sources online that the figure is more like 48 million….I wonder if the AMA is subtracting the number of suspected illegal immigrants who are uninsured from the tally of uninsured and thus are not America’s problem to deal with.. (more…)

So much going on with the markets recently, I didn’t have the time to comment on my disgust at the Ahmadinejad interview that took place last week on Larry Kings show.

What particularly angered me was the firm and friendly handshake between the two at the start of the interview followed immediately by Larry planting a friendly slap on Ahmadinejad’s arm.

Now refusing to shake the hand of a tyrant, (who single handily represents the biggest threat to world peace) would have come across as an insult and Ahmadinejad may well have turned around with his hoodlums and walked out of the set….. (more…)

Instead I logged onto wamu.com and read the message from Chase that everything was staying the same – for the next six months anyway….. (more…)

Countless healthcare sites and forums litter the internet landscape, yet few stand out and command your attention.

HealthCare.TV is one site however that is harnessing the power of the internet through the convergence of video and broadband speed over the net to allow visitors to not only read about diseases online but to watch videos of their disease online.

This was confirmed when I spoke with Craig Meichen, one of the partners of HealthCare.TV.

“Its why we went with the .TV extension. We want our viewers to know we are a video orientated site. We have one of the largest collections of children’s health videos containing content from the very best Paediatricians we could find. And we are not stopping. We will be adding an additional 200 videos in the coming weeks.” (more…)
