  by John F. Cogan, R. Glenn Hubbard, and Daniel P. Kessler
  This book explains how several much-decried problems in the U.S. health system—glaring gaps in the quality and efficiency of care, high rates of uninsurance, and out-of-control costs—can be resolved by empowering patients.
• A HEALTHY DEBATE: Health Care Reform (February 1, 2005)
  with guests John F. Cogan and Alain Enthoven
  The United States leads the developed world in spending on health care, at nearly 15 percent of our GDP. But based on measures such as life expectancy at birth, Americans receive a lower level of care than do the citizens of many countries that spend less. What's wrong with health care in America? And how should we fix it? Peter Robinson speaks with John F. Cogan and Alain Enthoven.
