This is a fascinating piece from the New Yorker. It details how every country that has universal health insurance took its own unique path to get there. If we want to ultimately have single payer, there's a lot of food for thought here.
I'm still figuring out how to do this, so: The link in comment #1 is to the piece I refer to in the post... I hope some of you get a chance to read it....
This is the Obama Caucus of Ann Arbor's blog for news. Some of our news junkies follow the news that is relevant to us, and post important stories. It's a great way for OCAA members to be informed with less effort.
Postings should be short, and relevant to our goals: healthcare, the economy, green energy, and climate change. We try to cover local, state and national stories.
If you are a tracker, on your day create at least one posting on the story or stories you think are the most important. Use links to the original story, or put the whole text in a comment. If you know you can't do it on your day, just ask for a sub, or ask someone you know to guest post for you.
On a day that is not yours, you can still post stories from previous days, but not from that day. No stepping on the toes of that day's tracker.
