Will Abortion Fight Kill Health Care Reform Legislation?

After a year of debate, it won't be the public option that derails health care reform. Nor will it be death panels. But it might be abortion.

The Cost of Care - National Geographic Magazine

6a00e0098226918833012876674340970c-800wi
The United States spends more on medical care per person than any country, yet life expectancy is shorter than in most other developed nations and many developing ones. Lack of health insurance is a factor in life span and contributes to an estimated 45,000 deaths a year. Why the high cost?
