Meanwhile, a second report released March 24, by the nonpartisan Economic Policy Institute (EPI) think tank, shows that implementing such a tax may actually increase the ranks of the uninsured and raise premiums for people with coverage...
Zeckhauser called the appointment the culmination of 25 years of training. He said Blumenthal is a “hard-headed enthusiast” and has the perspective to know that information technology will help the medical field, but is not a cure...
