Krugman and the Veterans

It's not just the post office that New York Times columnist Paul Krugman is a fan of. "Our own Veterans Health Administration, which is run somewhat like the British health service, also manages to combine quality care with low costs," Mr. Krugman writes this morning. Maybe he missed the Times article in June about the Philadelphia V.A. prostate cancer unit that "botched 92 of 116 cancer treatments over a span of more than six years."
