The U.S. health care system is working, but not for our benefit. That's just one of the disturbing conclusions of Redefining Health Care, a fresh look at an ailing system by Harvard Business School professor Michael Porter and Virginia University professor Elizabeth Teisberg. With compelling details, they argue that our health care system is dominated by the wrong kinds of competition as health plans, networks, and hospitals fight to shift costs, accumulate bargaining power, and restrict services.
