Health service is not as sickly as we are told

I've been waiting for someone to do this for a while. The Irish Times journalist Sarah Carey writes a story about her positive personal experience with the public health service. The article highlights the high standard that the Irish health care system has reached and offers noteworthy suggestions as to why public perception is misconceived.

Its always nice to see a journalist write the truth and enlighten, rather than pander to their readers. It's a pity its so rare.

I wonder if the Irish appetite is more sickly than we're told?

Drawing Lots for Health Care

In Oregon, 91,000 residents have signed up for a lottery that provides health insurance to low-income adults who are uncovered but do not qualify for Medicaid or Medicare.

The lottery was born out of a consensus among state officials and advocacy groups that small steps can help. As part of the state’s Medicaid program, known as the Oregon Health Plan, the lottery is intended for low-income adults who lack private insurance and do not qualify for Medicaid or Medicare.
