Here's the thing--this is quite a good piece (especially the introduction about the 80 million uninsured) but as it currently stands it won't be of any sue to any station outside Oregon. It wouldn't be that hard to repurpose it as a story about one example of the collapse of the larger health care system. And that's what should happen, because this is obvioulsy one of the nation's msot important and underreported topics, and the people doing this piece have the chops to make it a national piece if they choose to.
