The HealthCare Summit - Guiding Principles follow up report March 2017

We are a NON-PARTISAN forum of more than 100 health care professionals from across the country including experts in:

• Health insurance(with extensive underwriting, benefit design, consumer and provider relations experience)

• Health service administration 
(with extensive experience managing small and large medical groups, hospitals, and integrated delivery systems)

• Health care delivery (including primary care and specialty doctors, nurses and ancillary providers)

Our system has become so broken that preventable health delivery system errors have risen to become the third leading cause of death in the United States — more than a quarter of a million deaths annually (almost 10 percent of all U.S. deaths) — according to researchers at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine based on data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as published by the British Medical Journal. Only heart disease and cancer claim more lives.i
