The Citistates Group presents

Welcome to Citiwire.net — September 18, 2008.

Welcome to Citiwire.net! I couldn’t write about McCain and Obama positions on city and metro issues without coming down rather squarely on the Obama side — not just McCain’s clear disinterest, but Obama’s outreach on critical urban issues, speak for themselves. The Citiwire.net article of the week embodies Citistates Associate Gail Christopher’s reasoned conviction that even universally available health care won’t fix our alarmingly expensive, over-medicalized, doctor-hospital-pill dependent health system. Gail is presently vice president for health programs at the W.K. Kellogg Foundation.
