http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/28171-the-new-face-of-us-health-care-=
1-000-per-pill
Peter S. Arno and Michael H. Davis, Truthout: Federal law says that drugs l=

The Price of Private Prison
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/28152-price-of-private-prison
Sarah Rosenblatt, Truthout: Private prison corporations use their massive p=
rofits to lobby for legislation that expands incarceration. Because they're=

ing-rights
Kevin Mathews, Care2: Spain is showing signs of fascism with its new anti-p=

Amy Goodman and Juan Gonz=C3=A1lez, Democracy Now!: New York City is grappl=

The United States Is Committing Brutal Acts of Torture Right Now
http://truth-out.org/news/item/28177-america-is-committing-brutal-acts-of-t=
orture-right-now
Nafeez Ahmed, AlterNet: The grisly details of CIA torture have finally been=

sing the crucial bigger picture: the rehabilitation of torture under the Ob=
ama administration, and its systematic use to manufacture false intelligenc=
e to justify endless war.

s
Lisa Gray-Garcia, POOR Magazine: If you do not walk in a Black-identified b=

he cult of independence and the nation of separation.

Emily Schwartz Greco, OtherWords: The fossil-fuel divestment movement got t=
he perfect holiday gift in 2014: tumbling stocks. Founded only two years ag=
o by experts and students fed up with the glacial pace of climate action, t=
he global divestment effort is already liquidating more than $50 billion of=
oil, gas and coal assets.
