Why are healthcare costs so high?
We've all heard it said that frivolous lawsuits are to blame. In 2001, malpractice claims accounted for 0.46% of total healthcare spending in the United States. A decade ago, administrative overhead accounted for a staggering 31% of total healthcare expenditures. But perhaps things have changed in the last decade... or perhaps not.
Why are administrative costs so high? A study in California offers an answer.

Telecom Immunity Update **UPDATED**
I realize that most of you probably aren't interested in this issue, but take my word for it that this is a important test for the rule of law in this country. The Republicans are going to force a vote on a permanent FISA bill, and Harry Reid has determined to bring to the floor a bill containing the provisions for immunity for companies that participated in warrantless surveillance. The legality of this issue should be decided in a courtroom, not in Congress. This measure would effectively strip citizens of their right to redress in a court of law.
Those of us who oppose this measure have an ally in Sens. Dodd and Feingold. But we need more. Dodd was drafted into the movement by concerned citizens. Now, an attempt is being made to add another champion to our ranks: former Senator John Edwards. The folks at Firedoglake have more on this. Take the time to click on the link and write John Edwards an email requesting his leadership.
**UPDATE**
Harry Reid has thrown down the gauntlet to the opponents of telecom immunity.
