How can anyone who thinks free market reform is the magic pill for healthcare defend this? Articles like this show me that our method of healthcare delivery in this country is not something that needs to be tweaked at the margins, it needs to be torn down and rebuilt. I'm liking the movement lately to expose these master charge lists that hospitals use to determine pricing, something I'm sure hospitals would rather remain hidden. It exposes just how truly broken the system is. To think of all the useful things we as a country could do with the dollars being sunk into this corrupt out of control profit machine. Imagine how much worse it would get if the government stepped away and let this industry become the free for all capitalist money machine that it so desperately wants to be.
