Very interesting observations by Dr. Berwick in the video segment "Is American Health Care the Best in the World?" He referenced the same mortality information that I reference regarding what he emphatically states is not the best health care in the world. He refers to at least a dozen other countries; the exact number is eighteen other countries. The USA is 19th out of 19 countries. Here is more about preventable diseases, including that information.

Howard--

Thanks you-- and welcome to the blog.

You're absolutely right. And one only has to listen to Berwick speak for about 10 minutes to recognize who he is.

That's why I put the clips up.

I am impressed with Dr.Berwick.He is the one we need to direct medical care. There are two kinds of doctor. 1- Physicians as Dr. Berwick, who want better medical for everyone and 2- entrepreneurs who happen to have an MD degree and are just interested in making money
