Essay
The United States' fiscal future depends on whether the country can limit health-care costs. Obama's reforms were a major step in the right direction, argues the former White House budget director. But to finish the job, the U.S. medical system must evolve so that it emphasizes evidence and pursues quality rather than quantity.
Building on his essay for Foreign Affairs, Vice Chair of Global Banking at Citigroup Peter Orszag discusses how to get health care right.
