- The Health Blog: "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."
