Flatlined: resuscitating American medicine

Not business as usual

Unreliable emergency services

An eroding infrastructure

Fifteen years lost

Handed health care's leftovers

Where we are headed

Thirty percent waste-or fifty?

Poor quality primary care

Dangerous hospitals

Violation of dignity: the end of life

Unnecessary surgery

Perverse payment incentives

Three pathways to hospital profitability

Pharmaceuticals: remarkable innovation, shameless puffery

Private health insurance: no added value

The end of the employer-based tax subsidy

No coverage expansion without cost control

A workable plan for reform

Establishing standards

Prioritizing primary care

Reducing spending on hospitals and specialists

Positioning of a national medical quality system.
