Transcript (slightly modified for readability):
I understand that The American Journal of Managed Care is about to celebrate its 20th anniversary, so I want to be among the first to wish you "happy birthday" and congratulate you on being the kind of publication that continued to evolve as the field evolved. Managed care is a very complex area, and as we have seen over the last 20 years, it has changed tremendously. So congratulations to you for helping all of us in the field stay with it.
Managed care is continuing to evolve and I think what we really need is for it to continue to take into account the triple aim—that is high-quality healthcare, high-quality population health, and lower healthcare costs. If managed care can move from not only addressing the individual needs of patients or populations of patients to the needs of the entire population I think we'll truly have a delivery mechanism that matches what we need as a country.
