The New Yorker’s health writer, Atul Gawande, testified before Congress yesterday, sharing his thoughts on how to offer health care to all Americans:
Just providing coverage, however, will not remedy the failures of decision-making and execution that are hobbling American health care. A better health system will not be possible unless that system has components structured to serve one critical and singular mission: To measurably reduce failures and increase successes in health care delivery, and thereby increase the value for the country of our massive investment in health care.
