AP: 'Venezuela's Health Care System in Collapse'; Will Rest of U.S. Pr

The Associated Press has published a great but disturbing story. Given the frequent and deserved grief yours truly administers when the wire service lets its readers, listeners, viewers, and subscribing news organizations down, it seems only fair to acknowledge fine work when it does occur.
