All health care is local, as Tip O'Neill would have said. The late speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives would have been pleased by the vigor with which many states have tried to solve the health care riddle of our time: how can we expand access to health care while containing its cost and improving its quality? States such as Minnesota have volunteered to be the testing ground for a variety of health reform initiatives.
正如蒂普·奥尼尔所说,所有医疗保健都是本地化的。这位已故的美国众议院议长看到许多州为解决我们这个时代的医疗保健难题所展现出的活力,应该会感到欣慰:我们如何在控制成本和提高质量的同时扩大医疗保健的可及性?像明尼苏达州这样的州已经主动成为各种医疗改革举措的试验场。
