Health Care Reform Update: Kudos to the Quad-City Times for Making Health Care Reform Real for Its Readers

by Alta Price, MD

When I sat down to Sunday morning breakfast with the Quad-City Times, it just about knocked my socks off. Wow! Front page coverage and story after story about how health care reform will impact real live people in my community.

The Quad-City Times interviewed local people with differing health care situations, detailing their problems with insurance, the costs they face, how health insurance determines their job choices, how they decide whether to buy insurance, and so on.
