This week, it seems that drug pushers have infiltrated the Harvard campus. Boldly sporting “Say Yes to Drugs” shirts, their attire suggests that the elementary school program Drug Abuse Resistance Education has an expiration date. But these students don’t want pot or cocaine; they want global access to life-saving medications. The organization Universities Allied for Essential Medicines estimates that 10 million people die each year from curable diseases simply because they cannot afford the medicine they need. In solidarity with those who suffer, the students aim to attack the root...

...major piece of legislation essentially on their own, there's no guarantee that it will spare them pain. On the contrary, Republicans are betting that whatever does get passed exclusively by their opponents will come back to bite the Democrats in both 2010 and 2012. Even while some pundits say the GOP will end up looking obstructionist, Republicans are quick to point out that the bulk of the bill - the exchange, which will help small businesses and the 47 million people who are uninsured buy affordable insurance, along with subsidies to help those who can't afford...
