Good News, and Bad, on Health Care | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: In many states, the government is strong enough over the doctors to make sure immunizations were free - although now they come with a real well baby appointment and that is good news.  Vermont's failure of single-payer is sad, but I expect the opposition was fierce.  This is one of those things the that powers that be in health insurance don't want to ever succeed here.  My idea (aside from scrapping comprehensive insurance and giving people funds for the regular care - the one McCain ran with) is to slowly expand the Uniformed Public Health Service, staring with them seeing Medicaid patients for free instead of other doctors.  Then creep over into pre-existing condition patients and the elderly and soon we will have real socialized medicine, the British kind.  Having been treated by these folks for an adrenal tumor, that is not a bad option.
