COVER STORY
Diagnosis
It is critical that we fully understand the health-care problems we are trying to address—before we act. Health care accounts for roughly one-sixth of the nation’s economic output, and political intervention in this sensitive sector will inevitably be accompanied by unintended consequences and changes to our quality of life.
By Regina E. Herzlinger
