America’s health bill will surpass $7.7 trillion by 2032, according to the most recent federal data. That’s equivalent to one in every five dollars flowing through the economy. And it’s completely unsustainable.
To address this crisis, we must make health care work like other sectors of our economy, rather than the bloated, over-regulated mess it is today. And that will require giving patients more control over their healthcare dollars.
