Our hometown Phillies happen to be on a major tear these days, hitting their stride right as we enter the critical run-up to October. When things go well, they go very well indeed as with yesterday's amazing triple-play by second baseman Eric Bruntlett.
Leading the hated NY Mets 9-7 in the bottom of the ninth inning, Bruntlett made a triple play to end the game ...by...him...self.
This is only the second time a major leaguer has made this play unassisted.
Bruntlett's historic play provides us an opportunity to shamelessly plug another triple play, but one that can't be pulled off single-handedly.
This one is about healthcare (natch) and it is the triple play we believe must serve as the fundamental basis for any changes we make to the current health system in our county.
Our triple play--a triple solution, really--rests on healthcare reform that focuses on the PREVENTION of chronic diseases that come with such extraordinary costs; enhances and broadens ACCESS to treatments for the right patients at the right time; and ensures continued investment in INNOVATION so that our country continues to provide cutting edge treatment and care.
That is a gameplan where everyone will win.
