Dr. Doug Kamerow Tells NPR Why Prevention is "Crucial" to Health Reform

Dr. Douglas Kamerow, a preventive medicine specialist and former assistant surgeon general, tells NPR that effective preventive care, like effective treatments, is a crucial part of a reformed health care system. Kamerow, who last year helped Partnership for Prevention prepare a series of policy papers on prevention and health reform, adds that debating whether prevention saves money is asking the wrong question.
