were. The uninsured are not viewed sympathetically-- the 83% with insurance don’t necessarily want
to go out on a limb for the 17% without--because they’re insecure themselves. "</p>

<p style="color: #323232;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14px;margin: 0;padding: 3px 0 10px 0;">Years of extreme partisanship and lobbying have left Americans cynical and bewildered about health
care reform, but, say these panelists, the urgency of achieving some measure of change is not
diminished, both for American families and the nation as a whole.</p>

<p style="color: #323232;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14px;margin: 0;padding: 3px 0 10px 0;">Keynote speaker Maria Zuber advocates a “bold, diverse agenda” that includes extended use of the
International Space Station for conducting science on human physiology and behavior; exploring
the impact of the sun on Earth climate and space weather; gathering data on the constitution of
the universe; detailed characterization of terrestrial planets; a renewed commitment to Earth
observation (we have better data on Mars’ ice caps than on our own planet); and seeking extra-terrestrial life.</p>
