ALICE IN HEALTH CARE
Posted March 4th, 2010 by Mike Rizzuto
Most discussions of health care are like something out of Alice in Wonderland.
What is the biggest complaint about the current medical care situation? “It costs too much.” Yet one looks in vain for anything in the pending legislation that will lower those costs.
