Well written, innovative strategies for health care delivery

Dr. Kindig examines the current paradigm of health care delivery in the United States and offers well developed, innovative strategies for re-thinking our current situation. Through his application of in-depth economic analysis of medical care in this and other countries, and his willingness to look difficult problems squarely in the face, he asserts a host of long term policy and economic objectives which policy makers would do well to study. His ideas are not easy to implement, but we are quickly approaching a critical period of health care delivery which demands difficult answers.
