ALT Still from KFF's Business of Health with Chip Kahn podcast. There's a quote on the image that says: “Health policy sets the rules of the road, but it is the business of health care — the decisions made every day by leaders who run systems, manage payment and allocate resources — that determines whether those rules translate into better care or not.” — Chip Kahn, Senior Visiting Fellow and Host, KFF
