Professionals in health care push to lower hospital and medical costs without harming care quality while innovations aim to shorten hospital stays and improve diagnostics. The piece contrasts this with Britain’s state medicine and notes the need for leaders to act before politicians intervene. It also covers President Carter’s dismissal of Maj. Gen. John Singlaub over views on Korea.
