Foreword by Zeke Emanuel: “Johnson and Kusserow are optimists. …”

“Johnson and Kusserow are optimists. They can foresee a time in the not-too-distant future when American healthcare costs will be lower, access to services will be more convenient, care will be more personalized and more focused on prevention and wellness, quality will be uniformly high, and everyone – patients and clinicians – will be more satisfied.”

—Ezekiel J. Emanuel, MD, PhD, is the Vice Provost for Global Initiatives, the Co-Director of the Healthcare Transformation Institute, and the Diane v.S. Levy and Robert M. Levy University Professor at the University of Pennsylvania
