DanSu,

It looks like states WILL be able to experiment with their own versions of healthcare — including a single-payer system. See here:

Styve,

This comment board will be up until the end of time (or the end of the internet, whichever comes first). In terms of participation, though, it usually trails off as the day goes on, with another little burst during our re-broadcast.

I tried to look at your picasa album, but I think it's password-protected.
