is that it does not do enough to control the costs of healthcare. For all of you who are interested in this topic (and I see that many of you are) I would suggest you read the Steven Brill articles that have been published and are continuing to be published in Time magazine. These articles and incredibly informative and strictly nonpartisan and concentrate on the enormous and rising cost of healthcare in this country. His discussion of the "Chargemaster" is enlightening. He also addresses the obscene salaries earned by hospital managers, hospitals masquerading as nonprofits when the profits actually are applied to the aforementioned salaries as well as state of the art facilities which are unneeded. The first article was published in Time last year and the series will be ongoing for a while.
