Why are Medical Bills so High [video]

Posted on March 10, 2013 by Editors

TIME’s Best Cover Story … Ever?

###

TIME magazine just dedicated its current issue to just one article: “Bitter Pill: Why Medical Bills Are Killing Us.”

###

The article, written by Time contributor Steven Brill, is required reading for all healthcare providers, administrators, legislators, patients — basically, everyone; especially readers of this ME-P.

The article is too comprehensive to summarize in one blurb, but Mr. Brill did a good job of describing its origins to Jon Stewart on The Daily Show.

Throughout all of the discussions during the Obamacare debate, the focus was usually on who should pay the medical bills. Brill said, “We never asked the first question: Why are the bills so high?”

###

Assessment

We wish we could say we thought of this, but it was Matt Yglesias who did.
