I'm thinking about setting up a forum to discuss U.S. health care issues. The orientation of the forum would be that the U.S. health care and health insurance systems need serious reform to provide health care for all U.S. citizens. Can you help me choose a name? It's a rather long list. If there aren't just a few names that jump out as best, then I'd also welcome your suggestions on which ones to throw out. Here they are:

All Health Forum
All-American Healthcare Forum
America Talks Healthcare
American Health Forum
American Health Rising
American Healthcare Forum
American Healthcare Freedom
American Healthcare Freedom Forum
American Healthcare Network
American Healthcare Network
American Healthcare Rising
American Healthcare Rx
American Healthcare Talk
Americans Talk Healthcare
America's Health Forum
America's Healthcare Forum
ER for Healthcare
ER for Healthcare
Health for All Forum
Healthcare for U.S. Forum
Healthcare Freedom for U.S.
Healthcare Freedom for U.S. Forum
Healthcare Freedom Forum
Healthcare Rx for U.S.
Talk About Healthcare
U.S. Health ER
U.S. Health Forum
U.S. Healthcare Freedom Forum
U.S. Health Talk
U.S. Health Talk
U.S. Healthcare 911
U.S. Healthcare 911
U.S. Healthcare Network
U.S. Healthcare Talk
Universal Health Forum
Universal Healthcare Forum
USA Health Talk
USA Healthcare Forum
USA Healthcare Talk

And no worries on domains -- I've already checked. Thanks for your input.

OK, that's a board on health issues -- totally different from what I want to do. I did google for boards on healthcare reform and didn't find any that were only discussion forums. I found blogs and advice/articles websites, but no message boards.

in the land of poutine and ice
and it doesn't hurt for there to be more than one forum out there anyway


I like

ER for Healthcare
Universal Health Forum

I would concentrate a little on the reform side in the name so you don't get so many signups of people with health problems asking about whatever is wrong with them rather than the system

Throw out any title that could be misunderstood as a disease advise forum.

Where do you hope to find your forum members?
That might affect which title would work best for you Tim.

If I were to use goggle, to do a search about healthcare reform...
those are probably the words that I would use.


Healthcare Reform Forum might be your most effective title if it isn't taken.


You could do American Healthcare Reform Forum
I like the Universal Healthcare Forum title but unfortunately,
adversaries of healthcare, have managed to give the word "universal" a bad name.
I hope that I am wrong about that.

Good luck

I think all the advice given here is especially good. Particularly about making sure it's known the site is about health care reform, not treatment. I'm leaning toward not putting it in the title or the domain, though, because I think it might be a little too limiting. I would put it in the metatags and subtitle and description, and make sure that search engine crawlers can pick it up. Same for the word universal ... maybe a little too limitiing. So far, I'm leaning toward:

American Healthcare Freedom Forum
where America discusses healthcare reform and improvement

I like that name Tim...
the healthcare reform issue is complicated..
the name you are considering would be inclusive of people with differing points of view.

That would be healthy.

Differing points of view....yup, exactly what I have in mind. A good discussion is more fun when you've got different viewpoints, and a good way to learn something new, as well.
