Itâ??s been quite a year for health care. Once the province of policy wonks and hypochondriacs, in 2009 even Joe the Plumber has gotten involved in the intricate details of reform and practice. Most of our top picks this year are stories about health care coverage, not the traditional tales of illness or medical breakthroughs. Thatâ??s because in 2009 the spotlight is focused not on the diseases that threaten peopleâ??s health but on the broken system that makes it tough to treat them.
