Eight Reasons why Healthcare Costs Are Rising
George Lundberg, MD on the point that everyone misses when arguing about rising healthcare costs:
It is the decisions of patients and physicians that are the principal drivers of healthcare costs.
I.e., not malpractice suits or this or that particular drug or piece of tech. He goes on to list the eight factors he believes are making healthcare so expensive.
