Congress needs to focus on reducing wasteful medical costs before tinkering with Medicare

Before tinkering with Medicare and Obamacare, Congress must focus on reducing medical costs by regulating the monopolistic price gouging capabilities that are presently enjoyed by the health industry.

Why is this important?

Time Magazine, March 1, 2013, Why Medical Bills are Killing Us by Steven Brill, http://healthland.time.com/2013/02/20/bitter-pill-why-medical-bills-are-killing-us/ lists opportunities for Congress to reduce national medical costs by at least $360 billion. Congress must act on these suggestions to reduce medical costs before tinkering with Medicare.
