Gore One Ox at a Time

Gore One Ox at a Time - John Steele Gordon 7-25-2009

Very thoughtful article on reforms to current health care system that should be enacted now.

"...It is estimated that waste, fraud, legal costs, overcharging, and cost-shifting add about $700 billion a year to the country’s medical costs. If we could eliminate half that, it would be equal to buying every uninsured person in the United States a $7,500-a-year medical insurance policy. And it wouldn’t destroy the most innovative and accessible medical system in the world by turning it over to bureaucrats who don’t care about either patients or costs."
