Summary
This document contains two slides (pages 317 and 318) from a KPCB presentation titled 'USA Inc. | What Might a Turnaround Expert Consider?'. The slides analyze US healthcare inefficiencies, comparing 2007 US health indicators (obesity, infant mortality, etc.) against OECD medians to show the US ranking poorly. It also argues for 'Comparative Effectiveness' research to improve Medicare and Medicaid efficiency, noting that Medicare is currently legally precluded from considering costs in coverage decisions. The document bears the Bates stamp HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_021000.
