“The concept of providing healthcare for every American does not start and end with Hillary Clinton…. But if the lightning rod of the New York senator’s proposal fuels debate about the need to get affordable health care to every American, it’s worth the bluster….

It said the plan should not be a single-payer system run by the government.” [editor’s note: Kudos to the Tennessean for slamming single-payer, gummint-run schemes; brickbats for their continuous push for “insurance” instead of “access” - SAT] (09/30/07)
