this is anna "the new york times" -- doctors group opposes public health care insurance plan. the ama says it will oppose creation of a government- sponsored insurance plan which president obama and many other democrats see as an essential element to remake the health care system. the opposition could be a mutuamajor hurdle. it is america's largest physician organization with about 2 minute 50,000 members. next caller, how you pay for caller: health care as the europeans do, with a gas tax. you drive a fuel-efficient car and it does not cost you that much. it costs less than some of the averages monthly premiums. individuals paying $800, families paying $1,500. on a similar note, many republicans are being very disingenuous. if john mccain were president at think he would be running the government and the economy almost the exact same way. bailing out the economy, bailing out the auto industry -- and they're blasting obama. i really believe that there are many republicans who want obama to fail even if it meant the economy collapsing, even if it meant a terrorist attack. it is

we are going to get more input from anna klinefield who works for the financial times and is their middle east correspondent. usually the votes take a long time to count and these came oud speedily by iranian standard ards, raising suspicions. it is against what we have seen on the ground. he does have support among the poor and rural areas so he was expected to put up a good fight but certainly wasn't expected to win this kind of landslide victory when we have seen so much opposition to him over over the last week or so with mujahideen supporters out on the streets every night. there is a lot of disbelief about these numbers. they can't believe that ahmadinejad won by such a huge margin in the first round, so they have been venting their anger today, with released statements saying that the are results are fabricated, that the election has been staged and mr. musavi is warning that he will fight them and that there is dishonesty. >> if the election does go to mr. ahmadinejad, is there a matter of he recourse as far as his opponent is concerned? can he call for a revote or are there other

essentially their sales pitch since i worked at the energy department was was the primary user roundy anna. essentially hill and knolton described how they were successfully able to help not just the tobacco industry but in their literature they never mention tobacco because it already was so tainted that how they help other industries and they put out a series of case studies which i posted as well. this was around fluorocarbons or free on as the this battle-- that are none dominik you will recall there were signs them in the 1970's suggesting that the release of fluorocarbons which were in come essentially used in as a propellant in aerosol cans, was causing a hole in the ozone layer. additional studies confirmed this and is hill in olden explain, public concern and fear about the future cause of fluorocarbon users to look to alternatives. there were as by dupont to help calm fears coming and the net to two or three years before the government took action. and it did and that is how they were successful in putting off action until dupont could replace a chemical so they did not lose mark
