Good News & Bleak Analysis | National Catholic Reporter by MSW.  MGB: The rightwing media (FoxNews and the radio talk shows) are essential one organization linked with the Republican National Committee. They are not a credible news source.  It is sad that the Democrats are now forced to own a health plan devised by the Heritage Foundation - and now only rejected due to the skin color and age of the President enacting it.  A Democratic reform would have been to expand the U.S. Uniformed Public Health Service into a large enough organization to treat all Medicare and Medicare employees as well as the uninsured - and eventually into a real British style National Health Service.  The real problem in health is not cost - it is the extraction of profit by investors.  While single-payer would essentially introduce price regulation - federalization is the only thing - aside from employers hiring doctors as staff rather than offering insurance - that has any chance of getting medical costs under control.
