As someone who has tried very hard and only intermittently succeeded in keeping up with the deeper trends in health care policy,I’ve become an admirer of WaMo’s own Phil Longman, who wrote three major pieces in 2013 on what might be called the hidden challenges of the U.S. health care system.The first, in our March/April issue, was about the heavy Republican investment in protecting wasteful forms of health care spending, despite all the rhetoric about costs, as exemplified in the GOP battle against cost effectiveness research.The second, in the July/August issue, exposed the role of heavily subsidized teaching hospitals in skewing priorities in the health care system.And the third, in the current issue, focuses on the growing wave of hospital mergers and the potentially devastating impact that might have on health care costs.
republicans, big business and their money are trying to keep your health right where it is a cash cow for their benefactors in big business, they careless than gnat crap about your health, remember Alan Grayson and his interpretation of republican health care plan?
if they worried half as much as they claim they do about money except that which they spend (issa) and more about the people the swore to represent what a wonderful world this would be, but they are addicted.
