The Costs Of Health Care In America Today; Health Care System Needs Reform

America's health care system - now essentially being held together by the altruism of those providing the care - is in crisis and in drastic need of reform.

While we enjoy the world's highest level of care and the greatest number of medical breakthroughs, it's clear that our health care financing, management and delivery structure has not kept pace.

Today, it is more often that an employer or government will choose what sort of health care benefits a family may access, which procedures are covered by the health plan and which doctor a patient may see. Those decisions and choices should rightfully be made by patients.

The nation's inflexible health care financing, management and delivery structure is the legacy of another era - a system developed when most people remained in one job their entire professional career. Today, our economy is much more dynamic, our work force much more mobile, and we need a health care system that better fits these new dynamics.
