title: The pride of the Yankees. A Maine hospital's willingness to barter gives new life to an old idea.
abstract: Many people in rural Maine are long on pride but short on health insurance. Thanks to an innovative barter program at Franklin Memorial Hospital, they can keep their pride, get the care they need, and offer their talents to the hospital in exchange for services. It's a win-win situation for everyone.
