Why Our Health Care System Is Broken
Paul Krugman has a nice op-ed in today's New York Times which provides a simple explanation for why the United States has the most expensive and least successful healthcare system of all the developed nations.
It is that too many health care resources are wasted trying to shift costs onto other parties. This matches my experience, and the "other guy" is often you and me. As Krugman also points out, a side-effect of the system is that doctors have to spend lots of money on hiring staff to fight the insurance companies.
Let's stop this insanity and fix this broken, crazy system starting now!
