Fissures in health care debate
THE GLOBE is quick to criticize law firm Ropes & Gray for planning for and providing for its employees during the H1N1 epidemic (“Swine flu: Firms shouldn’t hoard drugs,’’ Editorial, Nov. 3). How about if the Globe focused its critical journalistic eye on the federal government and its failure to provide sufficient vaccine in a timely fashion?
We knew last spring that the swine flu was coming. Yet mothers and babies in Worcester have to stand in line for more than two hours to obtain the vaccine that their pediatrician’s office was unable to provide.
No wonder we question the wisdom of the federal government’s running our health care system.
