Abstract
Fed up with skyrocketing health insurance costs, poor quality care and low patient satisfaction, a group of powerful benefits executives from some of the country's largest employers decided to do something about it. They formed The Leapfrog Group, a coalition of companies setting out to build a better American health care system.
