America’s Lagging Health Care System

In an editorial in today's NYT, commenting on a Commonweatlh Fund survey, "One-third of the American respondents felt their system is so dysfunctional that it needs to be rebuilt completely — the highest rate in any country surveyed. The system was given poor scores both by low-income, uninsured patients and by many higher-income patients." It is time for a change in our current health care system, the issue is how to achieve it, and how soon.
