Vermont Health care bill in the home stretch
Maine Voices: Health care changes getting steamrollered through Augusta
A bill that makes major alterations in the ways health insurance is offered and paid for is on a fast track at the State House.
BRUNSWICK - With little public notice and discussion, a bill to roll back consumer protections, increase costs, raise new taxes, create new bureaucracy and lower health benefits for many could soon be law.
Giving more power to health insurance companies is not the answer to high costs.
The other day, my daughter came down with a cold and had pink eyes.
This troubled her mother, who was afraid that it was "pink eye."
I write this not because I want your sympathy (everybody's fine now), but for what it says about our combination of health care payers and providers that we like to call a system.

The banner headline in Tuesday’s Washington Post declared, “Obama: ‘The world is safer … because of the death of Osama bin Laden.’”
Safer for whom?
Not safer for the millions of Americans who live without access to health care.
