Five Questions

1. Why do prescriptions drugs cost so much, and why do their costs increases at exponential rates each year?

2. Why is the United States the only industrialized nation that does not provide universal health coverage to its citizens? It makes no sense. We don't save money. We don't have better outcomes. We do have very wealthy insurance and pharmaceutical corporations.

3. Why is a marriage amendment more important than health care, security, disaster preparedness, war, energy, education, and transporation policy?

4. Why don't we have high-speed rail based in Chicago and radiating out to major cities such as St. Louis, Detroit, Des Moines, Louisville, Milwaukee, Kansas City, Memphis, Nashville, and Indianapolis?

5. What is the deal with Rachel Ray? She bugs.
