The Workers' Scorecard on NAFTA
http://truth-out.org/news/item/21370-the-workers-scorecard-on-nafta
David Bacon, Truthout: Sold as a migration-preventing device that would pro=

http://truth-out.org/news/item/21402-the-aca-and-americas-health-care-mess

the ACA's strengths and failures will pave the way for a rational universal=
system such as single-payer health care.
