Get well and speedy recovery, Dan Ricker! by gimleteye

Ace civic journalist, Dan Ricker, is recovering from major surgery at home we just learned. Ricker, an intrepid observer of the local scene, is publisher and editor and writer of the Watchdog Report. Among his invaluable contributions: the mysteries of Jackson Hospital and the Public Health Trust. Dan was alone in calling early warnings and attention to this keystone institution's impending financial disaster. In a conversation today, Dan noted his illness and first-hand experiences with our health care system's failures. It is shameful that a first-world nation, with first-world medical care, can save uninsured patients and kill them with costs. Maybe Dan will tell his story once he has recovered. Meanwhile, the Ricker Report is on hold. Wish Dan well at: watchdogreport1@earthlink.net
