I had the privilege of visiting, almost a year ago, the Cleveland Clinic. The Cleveland Clinic is one of a number of well-known, highly respected health delivery systems in this country... They have demonstrated the ability to provide better care for less money. Think about that. Better care, better outcomes, for less money. Their reputation is well known in this country... What we learned was that if we look at the health care delivery systems, including the Cleveland Clinic I just mentioned, try to look and drill down on why they are able to provide better health care, better outcomes for less money, they have a lot of things in common with one another. They focus on primary care, access to primary care. They like to catch problems when they are small, easy to repair, easy to cure.
