    A number of you have written me today, asking why I haven’t commented about the NYT piece yesterday on how insurance costs have risen so much from 2003-2007.

    Not to be snarky, but the reason I didn’t was because I already wrote about it when the Commonwealth Fund Issue Brief the NYT piece is based on was released. Last year.

    Please, go read my post from November 18, 2011 (which followed the publication of the report on Novermber 17). More evidence that blogging has value.
