Article on Health Care Spending Disparities Stirs a Fight
Makes for interesting reading.
According to The New York Times, the President’s made Dr. Atul Gawande’s New Yorker article required reading in the White House, telling Senators: “This is what we’ve got to fix.” Not surprisingly, Senators in high cost states are already suggesting justifications for the variations in healthcare spending tracked by the “Dartmouth Atlas of Health Care” – for years.

This looks like an interesting article. I have not read it indepth yet, but thought it would be a stimulus for further discussion.
