The long fix

"Vivian S. Lee, MD, [examines] the health care crisis, [positing that] the problem with the way medicine is practiced ... is not so much who's paying, it's what we are paying for. Insurers, employers, the government, and individuals pay for every procedure, prescription, and lab test, whether or not it makes us better--and that is both backward and dangerous. Dr. Lee proposes turning the way we receive care completely inside out"--.
