title: From vision to action: hospitals for a healthy future.
abstract: As great as the American health care system is, it can be even better. America has a vision for health care that builds on its strength: competition in a free economy. In the American vision, physicians can focus on the quality of their care, not the quantity of their paperwork. The individual who chooses to work in health care, does so because he/she desires to keep people healthy. It is believed that the more information and choices people have, the healthier they are, therefore the vision is to give people more and better information and more choices so they can preserve and improve their health. The responsibility to keep Americans strong, healthy, and independent, should and does not stop at the water's edge as life and liberty are the fundamental birthright, not just of Americans, but of all mankind. Improving people's health, and in fact enlisting people in improving their own health and their families' health, is one of the greatest projects the international healthcare community can undertake. And the more choices and information people are given, the healthier they will be.
