Lessons from Abroad

This panel will discuss health financing and resource allocation in international health care systems with respect to preventive and curative care. Other countries have already structured health care delivery in ways which have the greatest positive impact on health outcomes and health status at a price that produces real value. Given the current preventive care environment in the United States, what can we learn from other countries?
