Recent discussions in health reform circles have pinned great hopes on the prospect of innovation as the solution to the high-cost, inadequate-quality U.S. health system. But U.S. health care institutions-insurers, providers, and specialists-have ceded leadership in innovation to Indian hospitals such as Care Hospital in Hyderabad and the Fortis Hospitals around New Delhi, which have U.S.-trained doctors and can perform open heart surgery for $6,000 (compared to $100,000 in the United States). The Indian success is a window into America's stalemate with inflating costs and stagnant innovation.
最近，医疗改革领域的讨论将创新的前景寄托于解决美国高成本、低质量医疗体系的方案之上。但美国的医疗机构（保险公司、供应商和专家）在创新方面已经将领导权让给了印度的医院，如海得拉巴的 Care 医院和新德里周边的 Fortis 医院，这些医院拥有接受过美国培训的医生，并且可以以 6000 美元（而不是美国的 10 万美元）的价格进行心脏直视手术。印度的成功为美国在成本膨胀和创新停滞的僵局提供了一个窗口。
