I read, with great interest Celeste Gracey’s July 6 article “Law means money for Swedish.”Kudos to John Milne, vice president of Swedish Hospital’s Medical Affairs, for taking a thoughtful, balanced approach to the Affordable Care Act (sometimes referred to as “Obama Care.”)
I was chagrined that you would print a misleading, strongly pro-charter schools opinion piece by Jami Lund, of the Freedom Foundation, a (what you called “free market” when it is really “for-profit-feeding-on-public-funds) non-evidence based “think” tank.

Thank you for having the courage and creativity to write “Assimilate this.”
