NY Times - a graphical display of basic forum functionality. Each sub-topic related to health care reform is depicted as a room with the size and silhouettes representing the number of comments made in the past 24 hours.
Washington Post – A Sphere of Influence. It’s astounding the way this graphic depicts the huge outer ring of lobbyists and their interests connected to the small inner circle of 23 members of the Senate Finance Committee.

NY Times – A History of Overhauling Health Care. A nearly 100-year timeline of attempts (mostly unsuccessful) to reform the U.S. health care system, starting with Teddy Roosevelt’s campaign in 1912.
