title: Legislating delivery system reform: a 30,000-foot view of the 800-pound gorilla.
abstract: Between 1993 and today, health policy experts have reached consensus that quality assurance, cost discipline, and equitable access depend on delivering health care at times, in places, and in ways much different from those to which we are accustomed. The challenge for the next generation of health reformers is to improve coverage by improving care. This can happen only if reform legislation has a theory for success, collective social meaning, and political champions.
