Health Care
I heard a great opinion piece on NPR, where I seem to hear everything that I hear that's interesting, on the current national health insurance dillema. It's by a Harvard medical student, and is really quite interesting and worth listening to.

I haven't had a chance to listen yet, but I like the synopsis. One extremely influential pressure group gets remarkably little public mention: the AMA. They have valuable functions, but they have also been extremely successful in attacking competing medical professions, working to erect pure barriers to entry in the form of samurai-training internships, and fighting socialized medicine. (Single-payer medical care, such as often arises under socialialized medicine, really keeps doctor and medicine costs down.)
M.A.
