"On Dr. Blumenthal’s series of articles on the US Presidential
Candidates Health Care Plans: "Over at the Huffington Post, Dr.
Susan Blumenthal and her team at the DC-based
Center for the Study of the Presidency, have released their
third in a series of articles comparing the Presidential candidates
positions on various aspects of health care.
This piece focuses on their views on the scientific and medical
research that underlie progress in public health. This has
undoubtedly been yeoman's work for this group of researchers, and as
the election draws closer we're indebted to them for making these
positions so clear. My guess is also that this article's topic is
particularly dear to
Dr. Blumenthal, who is a former Assistant Surgeon General and
recent recipient of the US Public Health Service's Distinguished
Service Medal."
