We are facing a new landscape in health care, one that has been shaped, in part, by years of governmental failure to enforce laws to uphold not only the public interest, but also the public will.
Health care reform has been on the agenda of every level of government in the country for the past two decades, not to mention every health and academic institution and think tank. Citizens have been bombarded with messages that the public system is not sustainable without “meaningful” system change. A common theme heard from elected officials is how hard it is to push change, there is just so much public resistance.
