Saving Lives and Saving Money is a new approach to the challenge of creating a better system of health and health care for the twenty-first century, a system that saves lives and saves money. The authors' goal was to establish principles of transformation and present stories of actual companies, organizations, and products that are successfully trailblazing this process of transformation. Their achievements not only offer conceptual proof that those principles work, but they also provide us with the opportunity to use or copy the ideas that are already saving lives and saving money.
Newt Gingrich is a senior fellow at AEI.
