This report represents the seventh annual version of what is a substantial effort to characterize some of the major questions about contemporary health care in the United States, to gather data that sheds light on those questions, and to organize those data in a coherent and understandable form. This work was accomplished with considerable wisdom and many important decisions about inclusion, organization, and representation were made carefully and well. However, in any task as complex as this, improvements are always possible.
