Health Care Reform: Wise Words

Last month the Commentary section published a guest column by Regina Herzlinger, the first female professor to receive tenure at the Harvard Business School. The piece discussed consumer-driven health care and appeared on the eve of

The Times-Dispatch Public Square in which Reps. Eric Cantor (R-7th) and Bobby Scott (D-3rd) addressed health care reform.

Earlier this year Herzlinger appeared at a Richmond forum on health care; she has established herself as one of the topic's leading analysts. She writes with confidence and clarity. Her observations cut through the nonsense that typifies much of the debate.

Herzlinger has opened a Web site that focuses on health care. We highly recommend reginaherzlinger.org and plan to visit it frequently. It is just what the doctor ordered.
