his findings.
The researchers found Americans spent between $2.5 trillion and $3 trillion on health care in 2011, more than any other developed country. The report highlights two major factors that

The first is that the price of medical and

services has gone up, along with the cost of drugs, procedures and devices. Moses says Americans" love of technology is part of the problem—they look to technology for the solution of all problems.
