...perhaps $700 billion a year - may be wasted on unneeded care, mostly routine CT scans and MRIs, office visits, hospital stays, minor procedures and brand-name prescriptions that are requested by patients and ordered by doctors every day. Orszag is particularly obsessed with research by the Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice, documenting huge regional variations in costs but virtually no variations in outcomes. For example, chronically ill patients in Los Angeles visited doctors an average of 59.2 times in the last six months of their life, vs. only 14.5 times in Ogden, Utah; they still ended...

...court and teamwork. Our captain worked overtime keeping a very young squad on task.”The turnaround from 2008 to 2009 also featured a turnaround within the 2009 season. At the beginning of this year, the Crimson dropped some tight preseason matches, including one to Dartmouth, a team that finished in the middle of the Ivy League pack.
