Quote
  “In college, I was interested in medicine. I had a professor at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine who pointed out, in a class for freshmen, that if Philadelphia were a standalone country, it would be number one in doctors, medical schools and nurses, but 57th in infant mortality and 90th in longevity. I learned that more and more healthcare doesn’t lead to better and better health, and that put me on the track to public health.”
- Jonathan P. Weiner DrPH, Professor of Health Policy & Management and of Health Informatics; Director, Center for Population Health Information Technology (CPHIT); ACG Co-Developer and Director of the ACG R&D Team; Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
 
Factoid

"...'among 2015 consumers who re-enrolled in the Marketplace for 2016 coverage, 43% chose to switch plans. Compared to what they would have paid to remain in their 2015 plan, consumers who switched plans saved an average of $42 a month in premium costs, equivalent to more than $500 in annual savings'.”

Excerpted from: Health Insurance Marketplace News, Volume 4, Issue Issue 9, May Second Edition 2016, "HHS Says Exchange Premium Hikes Not as High as Feared," quoting a report from the US Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation.
