I think healthcare is more about love than about most other things. If there isn’t at the core of these two human beings who have agreed to be in a relationship where one is trying to help relieve the suffering of another, which is love, you can’t get to the right answer here.”
Donald Berwick, former Administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services
