Mention German-born filmmaker Uwe Boll?s name in certain circles-especially those of the Internet geek variety - and you?re sure to be pummeled by an onslaught of negative adjectives and metaphors.

Reinhardt seems blissfully unaware of the difficulties doctors and hospitals face in delivering quality care to our patients. True, our health-care system needs better transparency so patients can make informed choices. We need to run efficient operating rooms and hospitals. But we are able...
...bottom line: If more private payers sent patients abroad for uncomplicated elective surgeries, the savings could be enormous.
