and facing not a staff of overworked doctors and nurses, but an inviting conversation. A talk with a healthcare professional who has plenty of time, isn’t in a hurry and is ready to listen to a recital of the different aches and pains of your life. Someone with expertise in medications dedicated to making your life easier and healthier. A professional who makes and then hands you a cup of coffee before you even start talking.

What attracted him to learning more about how things got done in America, he says, was his “fascination with the last country in the world that believes that the competitive economic framework can solve this greatest of human problems.
