...here? Why are we and South Africa the only industrial nations without some form of universal health insurance? What would a detailed description of a program to rectify the situation and to translate the concept of a right to health care (one of the hallmarks of a civilized society) into operational terms look like?

The welfare-reform report that the National Governors' Association is expected to approve this month calls for making such a system nationwide...
