U.S. healthcare failing in cost, quality, safety; together we can cure what's ailing our system.

Abstract

The American healthcare system is headed toward a cliff, and the fall will be long and painful. Healthcare consumes 18% of our nation's gross domestic product, almost 50% more than the second highest-spending nation. High-deductible health plans are the new norm for one-third of insured patients. Out-of-pocket costs are increasingly unaffordable for many.
