Dear Alan,

In case you haven't seen this article by the wonderful Paul Starr from late last year, I think you'll like it. It makes the point you make, but also outlines the case why the major driver of the differences in the correlations is, in fact, the policy differences over the last 50 years. I put it on the HCR4US Toolkit here:

Keep up the good work,

Thanks Barbara I appreciate it and will get it now. Thanks also for recommending Voki and me to Carey Wallace at Whole Washington - we spent the day with a good sized coalition of groups from Washington and Oregon and put together action plans to move single payer forward. I of course have homework.
