The private health care industry in the United States is larger than that of any other country in the world [1]. It accounts for about half of all health care spending, and it costs more, both on a per-capita basis and as a share of gross domestic product, than the entire health system of many developed countries [2]. Over the course of decades, its rate of growth has continued unabated [3]
