\"Halvorson<\/a>We had a chance to reform healthcare in the US.<\/p>\n

We didn’t.<\/p>\n

What we did is tweak the way healthcare is funded, meaning all the core problems with the system will remain, though access may now be more equitable.<\/p>\n

If we’d truly wanted to fix healthcare the system (not just funding it) we would have had to make a serious effort towards containing costs.<\/p>\n

That’s the message from a 2008 presentation from Kaiser Permanente CEO George Halvorsen titled<\/a>: A Practical Model to Achieve Health Reform.<\/p>\n

His presentation is a bit long, and might have been better when delivered in public, but it’s very understandable, and though there’s a lot we find fault with (he’s really into taxing cigarettes, for example), there’s a lot to like.<\/p>\n

See here for what healthcare reform could have been ><\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n
