Coverage and costs: lessons learned from the U.K. health system.
Healthcare costs in the United Kingdom are growing at an unsustainably fast pace while public dissatisfaction with the system continues to increase. Learning from the United Kingdom's experience, the U.S. healthcare system should focus less on shifting costs and more on the value of care delivered. To achieve meaningful cost control, U.S. providers and payers will need to focus on results, technology, and prevention.
