David Goldhill is a Democrat and a business executive who paid little attention to the economics of health care before his father's life was cut short by a hospital-acquired infection. That loss drove him to uncover the truth about American health care, which he reveals in an article that has been acclaimed as a "stemwinder" and "a fascinating read." Goldhill explains why "it looks like this generation of 'comprehensive' reform will not address the underlying issues, any more than previous efforts did. Instead it will put yet more patches on the walls of an edifice that is fundamentally unsound—and then build that edifice higher."
