Enterprise Liability: A Prescription for Health Care Reform?

Few issues facing society touch as many lives as health care. Although most Americans would probably agree that the quality of available medical services in the United States is first-rate, many question whether the price being paid for that quality is too high. Recognizing this, President Clinton, who made health care reform a central promise of his campaign, appointed a blue-ribbon task force headed by First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to look into ways of containing skyrocketing costs while increasing access to the nation’s doctors and hospitals.
