Here's my dumb guy analysis of the health care situation. We have this incredibly costly system that accounts for 17% of our economy, a share that is growing, and one of the system's most crucial information transfers consists of one practitioner scribbling something on a scrap of paper, which is then physically carried by the patient to another practitioner, who acts on it. Does anyone think that's a sign of a rational system, worthy of the greatest nation on earth?
