In a new policy memo, How Higher Hospital Costs Lead to Higher Prices, The Buckeye Institute outlines one of the largest single drivers of healthcare costs—rising hospital costs. In his memo, Rea S.

Hederman urges “hospitals—and the policymakers that help oversee them” to “look for ways to control spending and alleviate known causes of higher costs.”
