  I was hoping to garner interest because its my first infographic-ish creation, and I'd like some criticism before designing another. It clearly has a political leaning, but it was also designed to avoid the current health care debate and any discussion on what the optimal solution is. Rather, it's simply supposed to portray the problems that exist with the current system. As a side-note, the bill is far from passed; the Senate still has to reconcile its differences with an angry House before it gets on the President's desk.

    I loved the data visualizations. The only political ideal that this pushes is the need for reform, but I don't think anybody debates that. As a side-note to the side-note, the bill has yet to even pass the Senate. They have merely cleared procedural hurdles to avoid a filibuster. A final vote is expected late on Christmas eve, however it only needs a simple majority to pass which it is likely to get without a problem.

      They're all (minus the world map) generated by the Google Visualization API and the Google Chart API. Part of the reason I made this was to learn those APIs. They're pretty cool, although the chart API has some infuriatingly bad habits in rendering.
