A Must Read

I'd like to close this issue by pointing you to an astonishing story on the cost of health care published in the March 4, 2013 edition of TIME magazine. "WHY MEDICAL BILLS ARE KILLING US", written by Steven Brill, takes an in-depth look at hospital bills and examines billed charges for a simple aspirin to lifesaving cancer treatments. This eye-opening piece lifts the veil on the high cost of care and is sparking a long overdue nationwide discussion about transparency. It is well worth the read.
Be well,
Becky Barlow and everyone at CGF
