Atul Gawande in the New Yorker has become the most interesting writer about the REAL health care crisis in America.  In this piece he demonstrates something that seems instinctively right to me.  That efforts to control HC costs be restricting access to HC by raising co-pays - in effect by making it harder to go to the Doctor - actually increase HC costs in the long run.

Really good stuff.
