T2  - The Innovator's Prescription: A Disruptive Solution for Health Care
AB  - The  quintessential  con  artist  of  the  nineteenth  century  was  the  snake  oil  peddler  who  sold  sham  elixirs  to  vulnerable  patients—and  it  was  the  specter  of  his  parasitical  existence  that  ultimately  spawned  the  Food  and  Drug  Administration.1  The  FDA's  essential  oversight  of  certain  elements  of  the  health-care  industry  was  just  the  beginning  of  regulatory  influence,  however.  The  tentacles  of  governmental  control  now  stretch  throughout  America's  health-care  system  in  a  deep,  tangled,  and  pervasive  way—to  the  point  that  health  care  isn't  private  enterprise  in  the  sense  that  automobiles,  semiconductors,  and  strategy  consulting  are  private.  Indeed,  much  of  the  current  public  discourse  on  health-care  reform  focuses  on  whether  private  industry  can  be  expected  to  fix  the  current  system—or  whether  the  government  will  have  to  become  even  more  deeply  involved.  In  many  other  economically  advanced  countries,  of  course,  the  government  is  the  health-care  system.
