Time
Magazine’s March 4, 2013 Special Report:
“Bitter Pill: Why Medical Bills Are Killing Us”
For decades, economists and budget experts have
warned that rising health care costs are the nation’s most urgent
fiscal problem. How do we reduce the growth of health care costs
and build a health care system marked by high quality, increased
patient satisfaction and improved affordability?
Steven Brill, investigative reporter and author of Time
Magazine’s Special Report “Bitter Pill: Why Medical Bills Are
Killing Us," will address this question and explore the wide price
variation in our health care system.
At AHIP’s Operations and Technology Forum, November 18-20 in
Chicago, Brill will discuss the high cost of medical care in the
United States and offer perspective on how greater price and data
transparency could improve competitiveness for U.S. health care
services.
Joining Brill on the conference agenda is an
outstanding lineup of health care and business leaders who will
inspire you, challenge you, and deliver solid answers.
