UM: Health Care

The New York Times reports on how efforts to cut health care costs will likely curb that industry’s job growth. The article quotes Doug Strong, CEO of the University of Michigan Hospitals and Health System, who reports that even though the health system is adding roughly 560 jobs with its new children’s and women’s hospitals and an expanded emergency department, in the future the system will need to deliver care with fewer people at less cost. “I think that is what the nation is asking of all of us.” [Source]
