To create a fire wall protecting the independence of the journalism from interference by policymakers. But ask yourself this question. How can nine busy people run a large, complex collection of companies as a part time activity . The bbg has had difficulty sometimes playing an effective executive Decision Making role. It has not helped that the white house and the senate have opted bbg chairman jeff shell and the current board understand the structural problem and what to do with it. They rightly want to get out of the business of running u. S. International broadcasting month to month. The bbgs recent appointment of a full time executive officer for u. S. International media is an Excellent First step in my view because whats needed is a full time professional boss. But john lancing, the
That bell being running, then i believe that as youre doing this in terms of leadership function, we run the risk of really losing an enterprise is that the United States essentially pioneered. In terms of another priority that i think youre starting to hear a little bit about, we have to put patients at the center of this. So if you look at the statistics we have 7,000 diseases. Yet, we have treatments for, i believe, dr. Collins, 500 of those. The system is doing its work. Its churning through the science and getting the outcomes to the doors of the fda. The fda is doing its work and then we get some approvals and we put that out into the system. But at the rate were going, i dont think that any of the diseases that were all going to be afflicted with at some point in time really stand a chance of being covered in the near term. So i think the speed issue thats been articulated by many of you is of critical importance. So i think as this group does its work, figuring out what are tho
