Thursday, July 9, 2009. Why Congress Should Consider Bob Laszewski's Health Care Affordability Model. Over the last few months, I have become increasingly disheartened over the prospects for meaningful health care reform. First, the process is terribly conflicted, and it shows.

Monday, September 20, 2010. Keeping An Eye On The Health Care Prize. Published on Kaiser Health News.
