Quotable: George Halvorson
April 30th, 2008 | Posted by Drew | 10:41 pmFinancing reform without care delivery reform would be a major operational and economic error. Care delivery in the U.S. is uncoordinated, unfocused, inconsistent, unmeasured, extremely inefficient, perversely incented, excessively expensive and sometimes dangerous. Health care delivery is, however, the fastest growing and most profitable segment of the whole U.S. economy.

Halvorson ought to know as the CEO of the most uncoordinated, unfocused, inconsistent, unmeasured, extremely inefficient, perversely incented, excessively expensive and sometimes dangerous HMO in America, Kaiser Permanente.
