The two major things that changed the makeup of all professional sports are money generated by television and courts that players went to in order to win their freedom as free agents.

The one good thing about television is the money; you can make a lot more money than in newspapers.
access amount care darn emergency given health high money nation rest scandalous spend
Given the amount of money we spend on our health care system, it would be pretty scandalous if we weren't high up there. We get an 'A' in access (to emergency care), only because the rest of the darn nation is so bad.
avoid basically charge cover drivers forced less money rural somewhere urban
Basically the rural drivers are going to be subsidizing the urban drivers. (Insurance companies) need to get enough money to cover all their risks.
