Abstract
There is an apparently growing gap between what the public wants and what health care can provide. There is also a gap between the technology available and what societies can afford. Yet another gap exists between the realities of health policy and the medical profession’s expectations, particularly in respect of attaining the technological frontier. Health care, not surprisingly, is under siege.
