“Physicians’ values fit perfectly with the drive toward high quality, lower cost care spurred by health reform,” said Alice Gosfield, Esq.
These values that Gosfield—a lawyer, cardiologist’s daughter, and long-time champion of the medical profession—speaks of include physicians’ unparalleled responsibility for individuals and accountability for life and death.
