Hatch's report on Minnesota health care

[MsAnthropy]

It's entitled "The Face of Health Care: Pretty Ugly". I love this guy's sense of humor--he even sticks a "Hans and Ole" joke in there!

1. An impressive 68-page report!

He's really putting Pawlenty to shame.

2. Good Stuff.

Indeed, the United States spends more per person on health care than any other nation.

<snip>

Do we get our money’s worth? The United States ranks behind 47 other countries in life expectancy and behind 41 other countries in infant
mortality. It ranks twelfth among 13 industrialized nations in 16 health indicators. A recent study by Dartmouth researchers indicates that nearly a third of the $1.6 trillion spent on health care in the United States goes to duplicative care or fails to improve patient health. While Americans pay more, they receive fewer services than other countries.

Most of those countries we rank behind have Universal HealthCare!
This is a great report. I'm saving it to my desktop for reference!
