“ Up to one-third of the over $2 trillion that we now spend annually on healthcare is squandered on unnecessary hospitalizations; unneeded and often redundant tests; unproven treatments; overpriced, cutting-edge drugs; devices no better than the less expensive products they replaced; and end-of-life care that brings comfort nor cure.”
– Dr. Jack Wennberg

• Relocation of traditional hospital care to other settings
