Why is American health care so expensive?

About me

Location	Idaho
Introduction	I have been a primary care internist for over 20 years and am now practicing hospital and primary care medicine as a locum tenens physician. Ever since I finished medical school I have been disturbed by various aspects of the practice of medicine that make no sense. The present debate over the reform of health care makes fixing these things relevant to nearly everyone's well being. If we can stop wasting time and money on things that don't make anybody healthier or happier, the cost of providing health care to every American becomes affordable.
