Wanted resources

• Harpers August 2003 contains an interesting article titled "SICK ON THE INSIDE: HMOs Go to Prison" (p. 43) by Wil S. Hylton. If anyone has subscriber access, I'd be interested in a copy of that article, which would be relevant to United States prison population etc. —Eloquence 14:18, Aug 20, 2003 (UTC)
