This week's Time Magazine has a feature article about America's sick care industry. The article written by Steven Brill is well researched and doesn't paint a pretty picture about what is now the largest industry in the country. It uses up more of our money in taxes, in insurance premiums and out of pocket costs than any other. And yet as Brill points out we do not as consumers, get a better outcome than than other countries, who spend a lot less per capita on medical care.
