title: The brave new world of health care.
abstract: We are rapidly entering into a brave new world of health care. Infinite medical demands have run smack into finite resources. We can't pay for everything but we can spend our limited resources in a much more health-effective way. We have no other alternative but to devise systems that give us maximum health to our society with our limited resources. It is time to begin this process.
