Dr. James will Make it + Better
Leonhardt, David
New York Times Magazine, November 8, 2009, pp11-22
"Medicare is on a long-term path to insolvency. Leonhardt comments that the American health care system is vastly more expensive than any other country but its results are not vastly better. Any bill that Congress passes this year is unlikely to fix these problems but the modern history of medicine--the story that Dr. Brent James tells--nonetheless offers a reason for optimism. Among other things, a loose group of reformers has been trying to figure out how to improve health care while holding down the growth in costs."
David Leonhardt is an economics journalist with the New York Times.
