For the past three years, the Maryland Health Security Act has been introduced in Annapolis. It proposes the creation of a single-payer system to finance health care here. A new report projects that it would save the state billions of dollars. A similar bill is making headway in Vermont. This hour: revisiting the possibility of universal health care and a look at the state of Maryland's current healthcare delivery system, with the report’s author, Gerald Friedman, professor of economics at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, Dr. Eric Naumburg, legislative coordinator for Healthcare-Now of Maryland, and Dr. Peter Beilenson, Howard County Health Officer.
