Op-Ed: Will We Need a Bailout of the Health Care System, Too?

September 29, 2008

What is the likely spill over to health care from the misbehavior of the financial system’s owners, operators, and managers?   I’m going to suggest there are likely to be both direct and indirect effects.  One of the indirect effects is that we may lose faith in doctors, nurses, and hospitals, or at least come to suspect that the practice of their craft and trade is not aligned with their espoused principles of “doing no harm” and acting in our best interests.  (The Health Care Blog)
