The current health-care system is focused on patching up people once a problem has occurred, with few incentives to do so efficiently and with cost minimization. These very underpinnings of the system need to be changed to focus on preventing health problems and, once they occur, treating them in a cost-effective manner. The one constant must be an emphasis on quality of care. A broad approach needs to be taken to prevent health problems. Measures to improve education and alleviate poverty may indeed be the most effective.
