Smart Bombs: We need a better health care model - Spokesman.com - March 25, 2012
spokesman.com — “I spent many frustrating hours studying up on the Washington Legislature’s formation of a health insurance exchange called for under the federal Affordable Care Act. The exercise cemented my long-held view that this country is soup-with-a-fork crazy for using the hopelessly convoluted insurance model to deliver health care.

The United States is unique in that it has a health care sy” View full resource at spokesman.com

Editorial: Lifeline for rural hospitals not place to save - Spokesman.com - Dec. 20, 2011
spokesman.com — “The survival of many rural Washington hospitals – the survival of their patients – rides on a proposed $27.2 million cut in state funding for facilities more than 35 miles from urban medical centers. If approved, matching federal Medicare dollars would also be lost, resulting in a total whack of almost $55 million spread among 38 hospitals, most of them in Eastern Washington. Hospital administrators say their institutions cannot afford those losses, and neither can the communities they serve.” View full resource at spokesman.com
