- Synopsis
- The fundamental problem in the U.S. health care system is that the structure of health care delivery is broken. This is what all the data about rising costs and alarming quality tell us. And the structure of health care delivery is broken because competition is broken. All of the well-intended reform movements have failed because they did not address the underlying nature of competition. This chapter outlines the issues at the core of the health care crisis in America, suggesting that the way to transform health care is to realign competition with value for patients.
