It offers a way to control costs and cover the uninsured, while simultaneously improving the quality of American medicine.

We have some of the most skilled physicians in the world, yet one hundred thousand patients die each year from medical errors. Our health care is staggeringly expensive, yet one in six Americans has no health insurance.
