Solvency Through Good Health II
Last year, on 8 October 2008, I posted a blog article called "Solvency Through Good Health", in which I suggested that, for a number of reasons, implementing a nation, single-payer health plan in the US now would be good for America and be a good economic stimulus plan, since it would provide much-needed services throughout the economy and particularly to people in the most urgent need. Should I point out that I proposed this idea a month before our national election and before the "economic crisis" developed to quite the proportions it now exhibits?
Happily, it has come to my attention (via The Sideshow) that the National Nurses Organizing Committee/California Nurses Association has released a study supporting this idea: "Single Payer IS Economic Stimulus: NNOC/CNA" (bigchin, Daily Kos, 14 January 2009).
