Guest says: I am Greek, and this article makes a total blasphemy of our country. Honestly, Greeks are not stupid people who toss around money. Bad financial decisions are made by the greedy government and business types. And even if you didn't intend to, you made Greece look like some poor, inefficient burden to the EU. It's still a highly developed country, with a ranked HDI of 25 out of all the worlds countries. Next time, do some research and talk to some Greek citizens before you go out and insult the entire nation (along with Portugal, Italy, Ireland and Spain). Because just like America, the financial decisions are in the power of the greedy few. Five Filters featured article: Chilcot Inquiry.

By MarketWatch Don't miss these top stories: I'm not the first one to note that health insurers' use of the term "explanation of benefits" is an oxymoron. For my part, when I get an EOB in the mail, I scan quickly to the "patient owes" part and pretty much skip the rest. But, what about that column detailing how much the doctor or hospital is charging? I give it a cursory glance, sure, but I have no idea how to even effect changes in that column. I mean, here's my experience with health care: I get sick, I call my doctor, the doctor makes certain decisions, and I follow her advice, such as going to a lab for a blood test. Should I be shopping around for a cheaper lab than the one my doctor recommends? Maybe I should, if Charlie Lichtman is any guide. As he faces yet another double-digit insurance-premium rate hike, Lichtman is exploring ways to lower his own health-care costs. Read Kristen Gerencher's Vital Signs today to find out how Lichtman goes about trying to do that. Operative word here is "trying." It's no easy task, and the chances of success, for one individual navigating a very complex system, are not high. -- Andrea Coombes, Personal Finance editor Socked by rate hikes and fighting back
