Medicare Compares Hospitals
Virginia Postrel pointed me toward a New York Times article written by Gina Kolata which explains that Medicare is now benchmarking hospitals regarding standard treatment for certain medical conditions and the findings are available on the internet (here's the link).
So I went to the site and looked up Reston Hospital, which is located right near our house. I found out that this is not the place to go if you are having a heart attack.
