Hospital cost containment -- send this article to your Senators!

Thanks to the magic of Tiny URL, here's an article about the mistakes that Massachusetts has made with their statewide healthcare -- and the major difference in Maryland that has not only kept hospital costs from spiraling out of sight, but has allowed a slight profit every year! This is opposite most places where hospital profit has boom and bust years, and most hospitals are losing their shirts on uninsured patients.

I think I'm going to send this to my reps. How about you?

Wow, impressive stats. It sounds like the Maryland program is something that should be looked into for the rest of the country.
