Abstract

"News & Issues" piece on Gov. Angus King's Blue Ribbon Commission on Health Care. The panel released a 63-page report on Nov. 27, providing a comprehensive picture of the problems facing Maine health care, but it offers only modest remedies to improve the situation. The paper does recommend an enhanced effort to improve the personal health of Mainers, primarily through lifestyle changes. But it fails to recommend substantial reform of the system itself, and instead charges consumers with limiting their need to access it.
