It's good to see the Cooperative getting on with R-74. Us older folks will remember GHC having a long, solid history supporting things like a woman's right to choose (especially when it mattered in WA in the late 80's, early 90's) and universal health care (2000's). I suppose it helps to also have a Board elected by members, and members that believe that we are all better when we're in it together then when we go it alone.
@2: I've heard some people complain that they can't get adequate treatment for chronic, not-easily-pigeon-holed illnesses. but I've always got good health care there.
How does the Roman Catholic Church keep all those hospitals open, anyway? This sounds like a perilous business model if the church were to suddenly stop getting millions of dollars in donations every year.
