From the Executive Summary: In his Introductory Remarks Dr.
C. Everett Koop spoke out forcefully on this issue: "For
the rest of this century, everything we discuss in reference
to medicine, health care delivery or policy will merely be
symptomatic of the overarching tension between our aspirations
for health care and our resources to pay for them. The two
populations at greatest risk of medical neglect are the elderly
and children. But the day will come when the business community
will exert much greater pressure than at present for a more
realistic method of funding health care. We must be prepared
for that day so our special needs children are not shortchanged
as the health care delivery system is rebuilt."
