A “Watershed Moment” for Healthcare Reform
Well its been a while hasn’t it? Sorry about that. I’ll be posting with more regularity in the future. As many of you know I recently got back from an AMA conference in Chicago and it was a surprisingly eye-opening experience in a lot of different ways. There’s no way I can cover it all in one post so I’m just going to talk about one of the issues that was discussed at this meeting. There is a now-famous article that was recently published in the New Yorker entitled “The Cost Conundrum” which analyzes some of the drivers of high healthcare costs.
Everybody was talking about this article. The President of the AMA called the article a “watershed moment” for healthcare reform. Supposedly President Obama had everyone on his healthcare team read the article. So if you have even a passing interest in healthcare policy and reform, you should probably read it too. So for your enjoyment I’ve posted a link to it after the jump.
