To the Editor:
    The bill currently before Congress would make an important step towards universal coverage, but it will not fix American Healthcare.  As long as American doctors are paid "for sticking in more tubes" the costs of Healthcare--especially end of life care--will continue to grow faster than our economy, until it consumes all of it.  Adam Smith taught us that the incentives are the system. We need to change the incentives in Healthcare, and we need to change them now.
