"President Obama has pledged that reform must produce both universal coverage and major cost savings," writes Dr. Thomas J. Gates of Lancaster. "Understandably, we are skeptical." How can covering more people not drive up health care costs? By emphasizing primary care much more than we do now. "Without exception," says Gates, "regions and countries with the best medical outcomes have built systems with good access to primary care medicine."
