Barak D. Richman Duke University - School of Law Krishna Udayakumar affiliation not provided to SSRN Will Mitchell Duke University Kevin A. Schulman Duke University - Duke University Medical Center Health Affairs, Vol. 27, No. 5, 2008 Duke Law School Public Law & Legal Theory Paper No. 222 Duke Science, Technology & Innovation Paper No. 30 Abstract: Recent discussions in health reform circles have pinned great hopes on the prospect of innovation as the solution to the high-cost, inadequate-quality U.S. health system. But U.S. health care institutions - insurers, providers, and specialists - have ceded leadership in innovation to Indian hospitals such as Care Hospital in Hyderabad and the Fortis Hospitals around New Delhi, which have U.S.-trained doctors and can perform open heart surgery for $6,000 (compared to $100,000 in the United States). The Indian success is a window into America's stalemate with inflating costs and stagnant innovation.
