Portable
You should be able to move or change jobs without worrying about losing your health insurance.
Transparent
Information on costs and quality of care should be easily available. Also, patients' privacy must be protected.
Efficient
You should get the highest quality and most value out of the dollars you spend on healthcare.
Evidence-Based
The best treatment choices require good information on the available options.
Realistic
Healthcare reform must proceed quickly, but not recklessly.
