How to bend the health care cost curve- some good sources of info

The New England Journal of Medicine has three good articles about health reform this week. They are all free to non-subscribers and are easy to read and understand. Obviously, they're intended for doctors, but they explore the possibilities for bringing health care costs under control. The first one is a roundtable hosted by Atul Gawande, the now famous surgeon who writes in the New Yorker on health issues. David Cutler's article, which argues that cost moderation going to happen regardless of reform, is really interesting. But, if you want to know the politics of the Baucus bill, from a polished health journalist, read John Iglehart's summary of what's happening.
