Guest Blog: Take the Greed Out of Politics

This is a guest blog by Judith Binder of Skills for Democracy, Albuquerque:
Universal Health Care - Since the early 1990s, Uwe E. Reinhardt, Ph.D. Economist from Princeton University, has maintained that "greed" must be taken out of politics if we are to have appropriate health care in this country. The pharmaceutical industry, hospitals for profit, insurance companies, and corruptible politicians should not be allowed to control the legislation.

Clean Elections will create a healthy nation—an economically stable nation.

Reinhardt was in Albuquerque in 1992 or 1993 keynoting a health care forum. You can find his views at RSNA News (PDF), page 10.
