NEW YORK, Nov. 1, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Three major endorsements of health courts (also called medical courts) have recently emerged, as the nation grapples with ever-rising health care costs and the reality that better care at a lower cost is needed. In his October 28th column in The New York Times, David Brooks endorsed medical courts, writing: "Companies like Ford cut wasteful spending while doubling down on productive investment. That's exactly what the nation has to do over all. There have to be cuts, the president could say, in unaffordable pension commitments, in biofuel subsidies and useless tax breaks. But there also have to be investments in things that will produce a vibrant economy for our children: a simpler tax system with lower rates on investment; more scientific research...

President Obama's deficit-reduction plan "falls short" of targets set by House Republicans and Obama's own fiscal commission, and would be unlikely to stabilize borrowing, according to a new independent analysis. The analysis, by the bipartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, concluded that the plan Obama unveiled in a speech last week would require the nation to borrow another $7 trillion during the next decade, compared with about $5.4 trillion under the House Republican budget and about $5.3 trillion under the recommendations made in December by Obama's fiscal commission.

In the past year alone, the U.S. debt level soared from 41 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) to 53 percent, said the report by the Peterson-Pew Commission on Budget Reform, prepared in cooperation with the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget.

If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is. So it is with the Bush administration's $2.9 trillion budget request to fund federal operations in 2008. The White House promises to balance the budget in five years, dramatically increase funding for national parks, boost research into alternative fuels, expand military ground forces and pay for wars in Iraq and Afghanistan -- all without raising taxes. The bipartisan, nonprofit Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget (CRFB), which promotes fiscal discipline, applauded the inclusion of war costs in the 2008 budget request, a first since the war began. But William Frenzel, a former congressman from Minnesota and now co-chairman of CRFB, says comprehensive tax reform is necessary to address long-term budget shortfalls. With baby b...
