Opening from LaVonne Neff<\/a>: \u201cFor more than sixty years American presidents have tried to reform our health-care system, to no avail. In the same time period, all other developed nations have set up systems that insure all their citizens, that spend less per capita than we do, and that have better outcomes in almost all categories. Why are American still lagging behind?\u00a0Ethicist Daniel Callahan diagnoses our problem in the most recent issue of\u00a0Commonweal magazine<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and comes to this conclusion: we suffer from \u201cthe absence in this country of a solid common-good tradition.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n
