Well one columnist in the WashPost got it right about Brown's campaign. As I noted in an earlier post, he was against having the tax payers of Mass paying for healthcare for the southern states as that is where the majority of the un-insured reside. I suppose he has a point as it would tend to be the north and eastern states that would be picking up the tab for the southern states. His argument is that since Mass has covered all but 3% of their people then other states should look after their own.

This is where all this malarkey about states rights falls apart, our inability to do things as a nation. The fancy paper in my files says that I am a citizen of the United States of America (this is questionable since they are not united, never were). It does not state that I am a citizen of the State of Maryland.

All of this only srves to illustrate that the only fair way of providing healthcare on an equitable basis is Single Payer and it will happen eventually - after we have tried every conceivable alternative first.
