Prescriptions: Making Sense of the Health Care Debate
NY Times. The most significant social legislation in decades is bearing down on us all. But what does an overhaul of the health care system really mean for Americans? How would it improve access or limit costs? What about the elderly? The poor? And are these complex new proposals really any better than what we have now? In this blog, we'll track the debate as it unfolds and provide insights from providers, experts, legislators and patients. We look forward to hearing your thoughts.
