Time to Slay Healthcare’s Dragons

As healthcare headlines continue to highlight rising costs and systemic inefficiencies, David Johnson and Paul Kusserow deliver a bold response in their new book, “The Coming Healthcare Revolution: The 10 Forces That Will Cure America’s Health Crisis.” Drawing from Kusserow’s transformation of Amedisys and Johnson’s decade-long exploration of market-driven reform, the authors reveal the critical forces reshaping healthcare and offer a roadmap for meaningful change.

In this interview with RamaOnHealthcare, Johnson shares how the book evolved from Kusserow’s earlier policy insights, and together they make the case for a consumer-focused, value-driven future.
