A merica's health-care system is ailing. Finding a cure for the bloated, inefficient, costly system has become 1992's battle cry not only for candidates on the cam– paign trail but for insurance com– panies, health-care providers and consumers. A grab-bag of proposals has been offered, but no single proposal is likely to provide the cure. Nor is it likely a solution will be found within the next few years. Any reform must pass muster with some of the most potent interest groups in American politics - doctors, hospitals and insurance companies among them - all with a vested interest to protect.
