Both presidential candidates have authored commentaries detailing their respective healthcare plans in the Oct 27, 2004, issue of JAMA.

The question put to each of them: "How would you ensure access to health care for citizens of the United States?"

Wowsers. [Eek!]

There is also a special communication by an MD/JD entitled "10 years beyond the health security act failure: subsequent developments and persistant problems" (regarding the Clinton initiative).

Can't wait to read.

What is the best way for non-subscribers to aquire copies of said articles? That would be very worth reading.

Hey, cool! Free online through the JAMA website.

Specifically, Kerry and Bush.

Budetti's article on the Clinton plan costs $12 to download as a full text, but I'd be happy to snail mail a copy if anyone emails me a request.

Were I not such an ethical person as I am, I would email a cut-and-pasted Word document in response to said request. However, that would have to be an amazing and awkward accidental coincidence, should it happen. [Smile]

Hmm. I am unable to get any website but Hatrack. This is strange.

Since there are people on Hatrack who know what they're talking about when it comes to health care and I am not one of them ... any chance of a really short break-down of what was said?

Pretty please?

With an apple on top? [Smile]

No way!

[Edit: dana, can you access email?]

Hobbes, you know some men write me poetry for my favors ... *eyes sparkling

Sure, I'll give it a go in a few days. I have to finish some other writing first, but I will put this on my list.

The problem appears to have been my computer. I restarted it, and all is well.

Sounds like you're perfecetly capable of writting poetry for yourself, I'm afraid I'm not much of a hand at poetic verse (just ask Annie, whose been burdened by repeated woeing attempts with poetry, not a pretty sight (well Annie reading it was a pretty sight, but I'll spare our younger audience [Smile] ). Perhaps something that would be a more ... well good. Like an explenation of how to program, you'd like that, right?

You got any how-to tips on cross-country skiing a'la your bicycling commentary?

The local Goodwill had skis & poles that fit me and my sweetie to a T. Got them for a song.

Sweeeet. We have a mess of trails right outside our backdoor, as our apartment complex edges on Elver Park.

So, sometime later this year, maybe you could piece together a brief beginner's guide?

I'll summarize Kerry and GW Bush in JAMA for you after I take care of work writing and my CMZ readers' group comments. By the start of next week, definitely.

I might even start spelling "some" with two 's's, in tribute to you Sara!
