The NEJM has always been the medical journal equivalent of the NY Times.
Several early release articles are available critiquing the Presidential candidate’s health reform proposals again show their stripes.
They have a somewhat balanced analysis of the Obama plan, but to have an overt Obama supporter criticizing the McCain approach is hardly impartial analysis.
As I mentioned before, I don’t think either plan will work, but the NEJM continues to show an obvious liberal bias that spits in the face of objectivity.

When it comes to health policy or legal articles, the NEJM and JAMA are really Commie propaganda rags, like Pravda.
They are so bad, and unfair that their bias casts doubt on the reliability of their reviews of scientific articles. Nor do they brook any substantive dissent when rebuttals are submitted.
I think, it should be standard to open all articles to comment sections, such as this one.
