Controlling the Cost of Health Care

On the Nightly Business Report (PBS) tonight, they did a complete show on how to control the cost of medical care.  They focused on some of the President's proposals to provide consumer accounts and discussed the failure to managed care to control cost in the late 1990s.  It is amazing how quickly the cost of medical care add up and the different approaches are interesting to consider.  I don't mind some of the European socialization models but they do not seem to be very popular in Congress.  Anyway, it was an interesting and informative show.  [bm]
