Quote by Donald Berwick
Competition makes things come out right. Well, what does that mean

Competition makes things come out right. Well, what does that mean in health care? More hospitals so they compete with each other. More doctors compete with each other. More pharmaceutical companies. We set up war. Wait a minute, lets talk about the patient. The patient doesnt need a war. – Donald Berwick
