The Need for Health Care Reform Now!

The United States spends more money on health care than any other country, yet 50 million Americans roll the dice everyday without health insurance. General Motors spends more on health care than on steel and Starbucks spends more on health care than on coffee. Amazingly, medical-related troubles are the number one reason for personal bankruptcy in the U.S. How could this be?

Halvorson, Chairman and CEO of Kaiser Foundation Health Plan, Inc. and Kaiser Foundation Hospitals, is an acknowledged thought leader on this topic. Kaiser Permanente is the nation’s largest integrated health plan, serving more than 8.7 million members. Halvorson is also the Board President for the International Federation of Health Plans, an association of 75 independent health plans from 25 countries, giving him a unique perspective from which to offer a solution.
