Berkeley Pit the most dangerous and toxic lake

In fact, it’s not a natural lake, it’s a former open pit copper mine.

It is situated in Butte, Montana, USA, and it is filled with 30 billion gallons of deadly toxic water (mix of heavy metals and poisonous chemicals).

When this enormous mine was closed in 1982, groundwater began to leak into the basin – disastrously passing through the metal deposits in the soil.

The water here was responsible for killing 342 snowgeese who landed there and died in 1995.

Health Insurance Reform - This Week in Mythbusting

Health insurance reform opponents continue to spread myths about America´s Affordable Health Choices Act. This week, the mythbusters caught two top Congressional Republicans and a major newspaper trying to mislead America with claims that the House bill would lead to a government takeover of the health care system, was bad for small businesses and that, despite all the polls showing the opposite, the American people really don´t like the public option. Below are those myths and others we encountered this week:

MYTH: House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) – ´Democrats in Washington are pressing ahead with a costly government-takeover of the health care…´

FACT: America´s Affordable Health Choices Act builds on the current private, employer-provided health care system we have now – and will expand enrollment in private insurance by an estimated 16 million Americans. Rather than creating a "government takeover of health care," the bill is designed to help make the health insurance market work better – improving competition and choice for consumers through the creation of a Health Insurance Exchange.

MYTH: House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) – Health insurance reform ´will squeeze the nation´s entrepreneurs further, keep people out of work longer.´

FACT: A recent report by the Small Business Majority found that without health insurance reform, small businesses would pay nearly $2.4 trillion over the next 10 years in health care costs for their workers. With reform, the study shows that small businesses can save as much as $855 billion, a reduction of 36 percent, money that can be reinvested in their businesses to grow the economy.

MYTH: House Republican Whip Eric Cantor (R-VA) – polls showing strong public support for a public health insurance option are ´skewed´ and the questions should be about a government plan replacing private health insurance.

FACT: Far from a government takeover of the health care system, America´s Affordable Health Choices Act builds on the current private, employer-provided health care system we have now and expands enrollment in private insurance. Indeed, the non-partisan CBO has explicitly determined that the public health insurance plan would NOT replace private health insurance plans.

MYTH: The Wall Street Journal – the public health insurance option will ´blow up the private insurance market.´

FACT: America's Affordable Health Choices Act will NOT ´blow up the private insurance market.' In fact, the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office reports it builds on the current private, employer-provided health care system we have now and expands enrollment in private insurance. The CBO projects that, under the House bill, by 2019, about 11 or 12 million Americans - or less than 4 percent of Americans - would be enrolled in the public option.
