Very Interesting and insightful presentation. His comments really made me think about how I want to go about my relationships with those who are working for me and with me throughout my career. I loved the simplicity and power of his comments.

So what sort of response did you get, Tom? Slide 21? I imagine an audience of HFMA people all thinking Gaussian thoughts about profitability and risk, and that "hey, that picture's not so bad, really". After all, these people get their kicks from the money. Simple expenditure on things like keeping hygiene standards high day after day - that's just not as arousing as authorising a new MRI scanner.

PS ... but I'm hoping to be proved wrong.

There is no country that has enhanced and streamlined and amplified more MANAGEMENT TOWARDS SOLVING HEALTH-CARE ISSUES –as in any other field—that the U.S. Because of regulations, in the U.S. one cannot use the combined potential of said management.

Outside the U.S., free from those regulations, the MANAGEMENT effort accomplished for the U.S. towards health-care is beyond awesome. It be nice you could integrate the best operating chapters of a HMO, TPA, PPO, and so many acronyms into a single plan. One strata for the very basic and poor. And one strata for catastrophic medical expenses.

For a permanent resident of the U.S., knowledgeable of all these techniques, SHOULD BE INTERESTING HOW THEY ALL WORK WHEN COMPILED COHESIVELY AND CONGRUENTLY. I have a great deal to say about.

There must be private, public, and NGO agents so that its works. Before we need the top executive and congressional branches, to let the flow of innovation cover everyone.

It is the greatest blunder to suggest (on behalf of some politicians) that the funds don’t go around for every American, that is, if such statesman were venture.
