Seen at Let’s Talk Health Care:
Every single day, I get hounded and pounded — and rightly so - by politicians, businesspeople, municipal officials, labor representatives, and normal every day citizens about the rising cost of health care. Yet right down the street from my office, the most expensive health care delivery system and the most expensive full service hospital in Massachusetts are engaged in big-time service capacity expansions. Expansions that will surely take business away from other, less expensive, less well known, but perfectly capable, care delivery systems.
There you have one aspect of the health care dilemma the country is facing — we want the best health care and we want someone else to pay for it…even when “good enough” is available far less expensively.
