The Cost Of The American Healthcare System Is Spiraling Out Of Control At $1 Trillion Annually.

By Recognizing Physicians Themselves As The Principal Cause Of The Crisis Now Facing The Nation, It Becomes Possible To Arrive At Some Explanation For The House Of Cards Which Is The American Medical Establishment Today.
