Here are a few links.  One is to the Time article by Steven Brill about the high price of health care in the United States.  Another article is a rebuttal of Steven Brill's article.  The third article provides a totally different opinion in regards to how we should pay for healthcare.  Like many of you I don't know the answer to how to fix healthcare.  Just some articles to get the brain juices flowing.
