Health care report shows waste

A report from the Institute of Medicine says the U.S. health care system wastes billions of dollars a year. The report targets unneeded care, outdated paperwork and fraud.


       Faced with Waste

As the GOP and Democrats
Discuss our state of health,
The Institute of Medicine
Says it’s not a case of wealth.

It says that billions could be saved
And leave lots of people awed
If un-needed care and paper work
Were dumped along with fraud.

A year-long study seems to show
A solution in the air;
Could it mean some needed cuts
Would, in turn, mean better care?
