The companies that should institute such a policy are the Aetna's, KaiserPermanente's, and MetLife's of the world. However, that would not be wise, given the business models of said companies.
your assertion is that the govt is the best mechanism for acheiving these ends?
I suppose that I would disagree with that assessment. I do agree with your fundamental idea, that more $ is required, but I think that this could be subsidized by entrepreneurs, rather than being asked to shovel more money into the Leviathan.
The other point to consider is that the govt is gutless - look at the fear among the people that "OMFG, something is going to happen!" - this was the story of the flight. Not to minimize the impact of the death of astronauts, but there is invariably risk involved in strapping yourself to a kerosene tank and flying into space. However, how else do we learn? Someone takes the risks, it has to be done that way.
Such tests (heart stop, toe amputation) would not be conducted by legitimate clinical researchers due to conflict with the Declaration of Helsinki.
This whole story is crazy - there is a website which you can use to find any ongoing study in the US. If you want experimental medicine, look it up and find the nearest place with a participating doc.
These new disc formats are all dead in the long run.
Perhaps not immediately, but within a few years a system will exist which will allow the streaming of any movie ever made via broadband instantly. Why would you want to bother keeping an anachronistic collection of shiny discs, when you could have anything you want, instantly.
These format wars will all look quaint in a few years when the bandwidth for home delivery of such a system is widely available.
The 150 series of cards will work, but the 250 is easier to get up and running with Knoppmyth. PVR350 has a couple of additional features, but they are a bear to get working with Myth.
Other capture cards are not as well supported as the Hauppauge cards.
Well, hell, I can't see any authority in the words of the constitution that allow the creation of anything such as the FCC, but that didn't stop congress, did it?
That's how it's supposed to work, but when you are dealing with bureaucrats, that's not likely to be what actually happens.
Witness the FDA's attempt to regulate tobacco. There is no authority for them to do so, yet they are still trying to assert regulatory authority over tobacco. Say what you will, there's no authority for that to happen.

For example (I admit, I don't know), but does OS/2 support:
USB?
High End Video Cards?
Wireless Networking?
If not, then why???
A: They are incompetent.
Wayne's World! Party time! Excellent!
Good luck with it though.

It's a value if I can get the same thing for $0.00 versus $150.
Keep it, thank you very much.
Sheesh!
Problems solved.

Why not use a good looking wood, if you are going to all of that trouble?
Tax none of it. That would be fair.
Like elm. Or Zmail. Or carrier pigeons. Or anything other than Lotus Notes. Nothing ruins your day like the red box of death!
Opening these formats for development will cause more innovation, which can't be bad for the bottom line.
If it can be done, it will - reports be damned!

300 million cheap coders for "offshoring" in 15 years. This is Gates' real ulterior motive.
My Mythbox is unencumbered by proprietary crap. Can you say the same for your PS3?
Presumably, you mean from the sink? I gave up the water from the toilet several years ago.
Union Carbide!
Tough to hax0r a retinal scan, or a thumbprint.
