Gov.Martin O’Malley’s administration is proposing to establish a number of health enterprise zones to address the glaring health disparities along racial and class lines that end lives prematurely and cost the state hundreds of millions of dollars a year in additional medical costs. This is a promising idea that deserves further exploration; the need is obvious, the disparities are well-documented and a plan to test the program’s effectiveness through a series of pilot projects offers an affordable, relatively low-risk approach to the problem.

Enterprise zones for health? Sounds interesting.
