Almost 30% of health care spending is wasted.. [No surprise]
According to a new report (see here) nearly 30% of all U.S Healthcare spending is poof, pointless says the report. The report published by the Institute of Medicine claims that the U.S is blowing more than $750billion a year on healthcare, however not all of it is going where you think.
Some of that goes to fraud, price gauging, and other wasteless spending.
Sadly, this isn’t to much of a shocker.
