[ RadSafe ] Obama to name Reid ally as NRC chairman--"ACommissioner's Perspective on Nuclear Regulation"

[Steven Dapra]

There is no such thing as "free" medical care, of course.  If not paid for 
by the consumer when he is served, it is paid for by taxes.  I can accept 
trade-offs as long as they are not merely bargaining chips.  Everyone 
should share in benefits and risks, especially under the circumstances you 
describe.
