CEO Proposes a Radical Plan to Revamp the Healthcare System

October 15, 2008

Everyone agrees that the healthcare system in this country is in crisis, that it is unaffordable and unavailable to a large segment of the American population.

" They need to be replaced with a more efficient system that significantly reduces unnecessary costs, passing those savings on to employers and patients, " says Jackson.
