Such a proposal would be a battle cry for doctors and hospitals, which are already reeling from low Medicare rates that have not kept pace with inflation, and the private insurance industry, which argues that it could never compete on such an uneven playing field...
...what extent did British concerns about the dangers of American unilateralism trump competing fears about the reliability of intelligence and risk of rupturing European relations?
