DO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE want the health-care world Dr. Berwick wishes to give them? Here are just some of Berwick’s thoughts on ObamaCare:
I cannot believe that the individual health care consumer can enforce through choice the proper configurations of a system as massive and complex as health care. That is for leaders to do (emphasis mine).

[I]t's important ... to make health a human right because the main health determinants are not health care but sanitation, nutrition, housing, social justice, employment, and the like.

I would place a commitment to ... standardization ... above clinician autonomy as a rule for care.
