The health of private heathcare in the US

[Kevin Robert Dean]

"A decade after the widespread introduction of managed
care, the American health care system is once again on the
cusp of fiscal crisis. After a year that saw the highest
health care inflation in more than a decade, with premiums
up 12.7 percent on average, analysts are predicting similar
double-digit increases again next year, fueled by rising
demand for hospital care and prescription drugs on the part
of consumers who have rejected the yoke of tightly managed
care."
