"Regina Herzlinger's impressive and accessible Who Killed Health Care? offers insights that could lead to real progressShe sets forth a world in which insurance companies compete on quality, product design and disease management--not on ability to attract healthy consumers. Entrepreneurs would create integrated disease-management systems that profit from excellent and effective service, saving patients' time and providing coordinated care for all aspect of a condition." New York Post 20070709 "Mrs Herzlinger is America's leading advocate of market-driven, consumer-orientated health reform. She wants a national system which requires individuals to buy health insurance, with help in the form of tax breaks for all punters, and subsidies for the poorest. She wants insurance prices to be risk-adjusted and hospitals to be free to charge what they like so they can offer new services as the market demands. Most importantly, she wants the government to demand transparency of price and quality from this notoriously murky industry."-The Economist The Economist 20070705
