People around the world regard good health as a necessity, and health care providers put a monetary value on that health for millions of Americans. Here on the Healthcare newsladder we show all sides of the story through articles, blog posts and videos including the good, the bad, and the expensive. You'll notice that many of our stories come from members of The Media Consortium, a network of smart, passionate journalists who are committed to changing and improving the political debate here in our country.
