Recommended - How American Health Care Killed My Father
For anyone seriously interested in the health care debate, I strongly recommend the article How American Health Care Killed My Father in the September 2009 issue of The Atlantic Monthly. This is a long and complex article, but it points out many of the real problems in the American health care system, most of them a result of the market distortions from previous government actions and legislation, and it makes a convincing case that the approaches now being considered by Congress and the administration will do little to solve these problems and much to make them worse.
