"Right now, most health care reform plans being considered in Congress don't even give consumers a role in controlling costs. Letting them run the system is hardly on anyone's radar screen. So, before Congress puts the government in charge of health care, I have an August recess suggestion: Members who can should visit Switzerland. Members who can't should read "Who Killed Health Care?""
I read this book and it's fascinating in its scope. Herzlinger points a finger at many govt interventions which have served to distort the health care markets and strangle nascent approaches which would reduce costs and increase options. If you'd like to get beyond the hype and understand the issue better, this book will get you there.
