During Chen's six years in office, the economy has slumped, political reform has stalled, and cross-strait relations with China have pretty much been frozen. Now, amid allegations of corruption against Chen's aides and family members, the opposition has tabled a recall motion in the legislature, where it holds a small majority.

Nowhere in your story does it mention the real reason Americans cannot afford surgery in our hospitals. Health-care costs are rising despite the ever championed cause of tort reform, because of failed risky investments made by the insurance industry. Our well-lobbied legislators turn a blind eye as campaign fund raisers pass the buck to the health-care system and blame malpractice damages for skyrocketing costs...
