Portland Press Herald covers Merrill Business Ethics Lecture by Michael Dukakis

The Portland Press Herald covered the April 26, 2011 Paul D. Merrill Business Ethics Lecture by Michael Dukakis, former governor of Massachusetts and 1988 Democratic presidential nominee, who spoke on "Health Security for Working Americans: A Moral Imperative." 

Dukakis said he has been disturbed by the quality of the rhetoric over health care reform in Congress. "I think it would be a tragedy if we as a nation didn't commit ourselves to the proposition that all Americans are entitled to decent, affordable health care. It's one of the great moral questions of our time," Dukakis said.
