A panel discussion in Harrisburg today on the state's health care system found consensus that it has serious problems, but little agreement about what to do to fix it.
The panelists repeatedly turned to questions of how much it'll cost to expand insurance coverage - and who'll end up paying for it.
The chief executive of the Geisinger Health System says he's concerned that health care reform could, if done incorrectly, wind up pushing more patients into emergency rooms.
Business groups say they'd like to see more done to contain the burgeoning cost of medical care.
