Elizabeth Rosenthal of The New York Times has been writing a series on
the outrageous health care costs in the United States. In today's
opinion pages she wrote an article, "Health Care's Road to Ruin."
Her closing comment:
"But after a year spent hearing from hundreds of patients… I know, too,
that reforming the nation's $2.9 trillion health system is urgent, and
will not be accomplished with delicate maneuvers at the margins. There
are many further interventions that we know will help contain costs and
rein in prices. And we'd better start making choices fast."

YOUR TASK: AT THE BOTTOM OF THE ARTICLE, AT THE LINK ABOVE, CLICK, "NYT
PICKS," THEN CLICK, "RECOMMEND" ON THE COMMENT BY "SCOTT, SPIRIT LAKE, IA."
(His comment begins, "As a 40 year practicing family physician and
member of Physicians for a National Health Program, I believe the best
and only answer is improved "Medicare for all.")
The readers and the editorial staff of The New York Times need to
understand how much support there is for single payer.
