Notes &
Ultimately, the question in health reform is this: what process has the best chance to bring about continual improvement in the efficiency and quality of patient care? The only way to provide better care at less cost is with higher productivity in the health sector. What can make that happen, year in and year out? Rahm Emanuel has given us the answer. The federal government, subject as it is to the constraints of politics, can’t do it. The only way to slow the pace of rising costs without sacrificing quality is by building a functioning marketplace, with cost-conscious consumers driving the allocation of resources.
