A healthy person gets sick. They go to the hospital and between their insurance and their own copays, they drop a hundred $ large.

They come out a little less healthy than they were before they got sick.

Nothing really gets *built* or created in this industry. It’s a model of inefficiency.

That, I think, is something that merits genuine worry, as that's not a pace that can be maintained forever.</p> The BusinessWeek article itself makes the point (though they bury it good and deep) that government spending fuels a lot of healthcare’s impact on the economy.
