American and Norwegian health care: a new prescription for both?

The health services in the US faces great challenges and the future is now more uncertain than for a long time. At this launch event, Obamacare-architect Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel presents his forthcoming book "Prescription for the Future".

Portrait

"Zeke Emanuel is a force of nature. Author, ethicist, cook, medic, policymaker: he makes other over-achievers look lazy and inadequate. There are very few policy experts - in health care or any other field - with Zeke's smarts, political antenna and persuasive Powers." – Richard Wolffe, political analyst.

Twelve transformative practices are proposed by Ezekiel Emanuel – among them profound changes in the coordination of chronic care and in the measurement of quality.
