an underlying problem is that in this stage of capitalism, ruthless private equity/hedge fund types are buying up hospitals (see Steward in MA) and looting them for their own pay/dividends, leaving chaos behind. When the Catholic Church ran Fatima I recall they too reneged n employee pension benefits... The rest of the world does it better - cheaper, and getting healthier results, but our system persists -maybe because the well to do get top of the line care so they are OK with it Perhaps Neronha can help here, I hope so, but I think it may take a revolution to change our system

Thank you AG Neronha for seeing the issues as they are, for speaking the truth, and for having the vision to see the impending disasters that are coming at us, and some things that we can do to avert these disasters. Unfortunately, many of those at the top of RI government lack the political will to do the right thing!

I agree with the ER docs. Our health care system is already in heart failure!

I am glad someone is covering this.

Thank you Steve!

When you try to use healthcare to grow the economy, the costs rise faster than wages.
