>> Whatever happens we need to drastically reduce costs or we're in a world of hurt. I think everyone agrees about this at least. The question is how do you reduce costs -- enough to solve the problem? The only answer I've heard has been, "Remove profits from the business of health care". Get rid of those mean old insurance companies who are making all that money, get rid of greedy doctors who spend years getting an education yet are so highly overpaid, get rid of the drug companies who charge too much after having rolled the dice on trying to create some new lifesaving drug. Well, then there was the one about how you'll save all this money by spending money on IT. Do you have any other ideas?
