We have over the years seen a rapid rise in the healthcare cost. Many have been made to believe that the industry needs to be given the freedom to compete. We have been told that the free market will drive the quality up and cost down.
Not True! The number of deaths and injuries in the hospital remain very high to the level of 100,000 and 1,000,000 respectively. Patient safety is quite often at stake. And the cost is so high that many are becoming bankrupt while over 40,000,000 without insurance.
