On the health care beat, I have been looking at new approaches to the problems ofrising costs and the uninsured, such as Maine’s first-inthe-
nation universal health care legislation, and knocking out down conventional wisdom, such as the oft-repeated claim that U.S. wait times are shorter than in other nations. I also write extensively for the web site, and have included a piece I did on health care in the presidential campaign. I try on this beat to go beyond a recitation of the problems to examine possible solutions.
