From the Paper:

"In the United States there are many poor, aging, and young who have traditionally been without health insurance due to the rising costs associated with care. When society considers those entities that should play a significant role in reducing health care costs the organizational elements of government, industry, and health care providers them selves are logical considerations. Yet, while the United States patiently waits for some type of health care cost relief there does not appear to be any notable action being taken to reduce these costs. During the December 2002 online discussion posted on NewsHour, with Jim Lehrer, the issue of health care costs was discussed in relation to insurance providers, hospitals, and health care workers. Lehrer spoke with many professionals in these organizations, and discovered that there are primary causes for the rise in health care costs in the United States. "
