Spiralling health care costs are currently threatening the future of the US economy. Peter Orszag offers insight on possible approaches to reduce health care costs over time without impairing the quality of medical care or outcomes. LSE alumnus Peter Orszag (MSc, PhD Economics, 1992, 1997) is vice chairman of Global Banking at CitiGroup. He recently served as director of the Office of Management and Budget under president Barack Obama.

  • vry good at bringing his own point in. a well delivered speech

  • we need the power point recorded as well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Hope in the USA begins in the USA heart. The poverty everyone is experiencing is because USA is World Heritage listed and construction there is to be stopped. USA and its streets as they are in the present state are billions of years old and very likely some of the oldest streets and buildings in the world, ever. Health for a person of the USA begins with a little chinese, indian or eupean food shop. It may be smelly and yuky today and you might only taste the stuff and throw it out.

  • But the next time you walk past, you might notice that theres some ‘chinese’ or non english speaking tourist walking past buying expensive american perfume and taking it with them. That maybe a week later there will be a foreign choclate bar, and it will be very heavy. Sanity for a person of USA begins with realising that USA does not have a military. That the twin towers were millions of years old. Time barriers have been crossed.

  • Breeding must be stopped as everyone prepares for a very very long time for Gods heaven on earth. The USA is the heart of both South and North America. Canadians probably arent really even supposed to be in Canada and will probably be moved out eventually. I love you USA, hang in there and just remember, those little foreign food shops bring the medicine. I can’t wait to go to USA when the chocolate bars are made from gold!

    NEW compact cities must be built for reorganization. Arabia?

  • Orszag is far and away the most informed and thoughtful person I see speaking on federal budget issues. I just wish he had better news for us - his insistence on healthcare cost reduction seems to take him off the invitation list. Still, I wish he was back in the White House or on Capitol Hill.
