This was in Saturday’s Globe, now also on The American Prospect’s page:
Is the new Massachusetts new health plan really a model for reform nationally? Advocates of universal health coverage feel they finally have their nose under the tent…

Give it a read. You’ll see a lot of the same concerns we’ve voiced here. Again, it ain’t over, not even close.
Please share widely!
