You are the President of the United States and your first term ends in a year. The cost-control mechanism you instituted two years ago, based on patient cost sharing and managed competition, has not worked, and the American people are upset about persistent health care inflation. You are preparing a major television address on health care costs. What will you propose? Can you convince the public that yours is a painless cost control strategy? Be sure to site references used in developing your address to the nation.
