Physicians for a National Health Program, Young
has chaired the Department
of Medicine at Chicago's Cook County Hospital.
He said today: "It is
stunning how little regard this president has for
human life. His interest
seems to extend to only one tragic brain-damaged
woman. The U.S. is the
only industrialized country to lack health care
coverage for all citizens.
Over 18,000 Americans perish every year because
they lack health
insurance. A lack of health insurance increases the
chances a 55-year-old
will die before they turn 64 by 40 percent. If the
president wanted to
save lives he would call for an emergency session to
make Congress vote to
extend Medicare to every American."

CNN, Fox featured ex-Schiavo nurse whose affidavit was
dismissed as "incredible" by judge

On March 22, both CNN's Live From... and Fox News' Fox and
Friends aired interviews with Carla Sauer Iyer -- a former nurse for Terri
Schiavo who in 2003 submitted an affidavit with inflammatory accusations
against Terri's husband, Michael Schiavo -- but failed to report questions
about Iyer's credibility. Judge George W. Greer, the Florida circuit judge who
has presided over several aspects of the Schiavo case, dismissed Iyer's
allegations as "incredible" and noted in a September 17, 2003, order that not
even Terri Schiavo's parents sought her testimony in the case.

Excerpts from Moveon
mailing:

On Sunday, Tom DeLay and Bill Frist, the Republican congressional
leaders, convened an emergency meeting of Congress to pass a bill that that
interferes with the Terri Schiavo tragedy. And although in five
years no other issue has prompted President Bush to return to Washington
during a vacation�including the tsunami�Bush flew back from his
ranch in Texas to sign it.

Bush, Frist, and DeLay claim that they're acting out of concern for Ms.
Schiavo. But a memo intended only for Republican Senators�uncovered by ABC
News�reveals Republicans' true concern: "The pro-life base will be
excited...this is a great political issue...this is a tough issue for
Democrats." This story also takes the heat off Tom DeLay, who
is facing a number of serious ethics charges and legal
scandals.

It's time to speak up about this kind of political posturing, and
ask Congress to get back to work. Can you sign our petition to
Republican leaders in Congress to stop grandstanding on the Schiavo tragedy? -
