One Step Closer to Making the Health Care System Worse?

The Senate Finance Committee voted to approve the senate bill to "overhaul the health care system" today (See The New York Times' story). In the meantime, the insurance companies of America have vowed to jack the cost of insurance through the roof.

China Leads in Global Trade:

How much do you pay for a pair of jeans? Chinese manufacturers sell packets of a dozen jeans to retailers for $2.85 a pair. In China, when the manufacturer needs to sell at a lower price to compete, he just cuts labor costs. They also benefit from "low-interest loans from state-run banks" (See The New York Times' story.)
