Revisiting Dump Now, Pay Later: Inadequate Financial Assurance at the Shoosmith Landfill
Years ago, Bill Kovacs, then Vice President of the Chamber of Commerce, several state regulators, and I helped launch an initiative called "Clean States."

The same principle applies to healthcare: by proactively addressing root causes, we can prevent larger, more costly problems down the line. Let us learn from the past so we do not repeat the same mistakes.
