Notable Quote

"In 1999, health administration costs in the United States totaled at least $294.3 billion, or $1,059 per capita, as compared with $307 per capita in Canada. .... The gap between U.S. and Canadian spending on health care administration has grown to $752 per capita.
A large sum might be saved in the United States if administrative costs could be trimmed by implementing a Canadian-style health care system."
