title: Selling cost containment.
abstract: Health care expenditures in the United States have continued to grow despite efforts to control them. This Article discusses the need for health care reform, outlines the model that reform should follow, and considers why the United States has not progressed toward a workable solution. It introduces a single-payer approach to cost containment and explains how such an approach could be "sold" in the United States. Finally, the Article examines various ways to mobilize support for such health care reform.
