TIME magazine aritcle: Bitter Pill: Why Medical Bills Are Killing Us

An important article for all to read!  http://healthland.time.com/2013/02/20/bitter-pill-why-medical-bills-are-killing-us/

I heard an interview with the author on NPR's Diane Reims show yesterday -- there were lots of call-ins from people with their own medical cost horror stories.  One of them was a doctor who said doctors are the victims, too. They are not the benefitors in the present health care setup.  The system itself is the problem, with too much waste and way too much profit going to the corporations who have elbowed their way into health care in our country -- and Medicare for all would be the perfect solution. He said Medicare works well -- much better than most of the insurance companies.  Boy, he's got that right!

If only there were more doctors like this sensible man.
