U.S. Health-Care System Gets a "D"

Newsweek covers the recent report on the US healthcare system in the article: U.S. Health-Care System Gets a "D". Reading this will encourage you to stay healthy. Here's the scary stuff: "The authors of the report concluded that, if the U.S. improved and standardized health-care performance and access, approximately 100,000 to 150,000 lives could be saved annually, along with $50 billion to $100 billion a year." Why this breakdown in the free market? Why do we spend so much more and get so much less?
