Bob Stone is EVP at Healthways, a pioneering disease management company he co-founded in 1981. In Part I of our interview I asked Bob to share his views on health care reform, in particular:

  • Why has there not been fundamental health care reform in this country?
  • Will things be different under the Obama administration?
  • What should the objective of health reform be?
  • Is it realistic for the US to have the best health care system in the world?

In Part II we discuss disease management and the medical home.
