Healthcare, A & B

1. Brilliant at Breakfast links to Salon on insurance-rationed health care. (Um, Jill? I love you, but blaming "a gum-chewer sitting in a cubicle getting paid for denying your care" shows class bias--those decisions are made a bit further up.)


2. Better than salt money issues a clarion call.

   Healthcare is already rationed, but not on any sort of measurement of actual limitaton. It's being rationed by corporations looking to make a profit. The decision on an MRI, or a CT scan, or a hip-replacement isn't being made on the basis of need, or availability; it's being measured against the bottom line.
