"Several of the chapters are excellent analyses of how the PGPmodel is responsive to current policy and delivery concerns."(JAMA; 11/24/2004) "This book should be required reading for every physician in theUnited States." (Health Affairs, Vol 23, No 4; July/August2004) "A brief review cannot do justice to the range of issuesexplored in this volume... Toward a 21st CenturyHealth System repays careful study." (Health ServiceJournal, April 2004)"After three decades of trying to reform?health care...by lookingfor a 'silver bullet,' I found?the ?future? has been here for morethan a century. Policymakers tired of banging heads and gavels onstone walls need look no further than this well-designed?analysisof prepaid group practice for the incentives necessary to enhancehealth system quality, safety and performance, expand access andequity, and vastly improve the professional-patientrelationship." --Hon. David Durenberger, U. S. Senator (1978-1995), SeniorHealth Policy Fellow, University of St. Thomas "If you wonder why the American health system...is judged bydistinguished experts as ?the poster boy of underachievement,? readthis collection of fine essays by longtime students of thatsystem.... The book is a particularly valuable read for students ofmedicine, health administration and health policy. Here they willlearn...how much better value might be wrung out of the healthsystem for the truly ample resources Americans grant it." --Uwe Reinhardt, James Madison professor of Political Economy,Princeton University
