white. >> thank you, mr. chairman. dr. berwick, you cannot find a more important issue in health care than end-of-life care. and the approach that i've supported is the opposite of rationing. for example, right now traditionally patients had to give up the prospect of curative care in order to get the hospice benefit. i don't think that's right, i think they ought to have all the choices. and i wrote a provision that's in the bill that begins the program that for the first time would give patients the right to get both the hospice program and curative care. so we start two principles; empowering patients to make choices and making sure they have all the options -- hospice care, curative care -- all of the options. are those the kinds of principles that you believe would really enhance quality of life in this area of end-of-life health care? >> first, thanks for your leadership on that, senator widen and some of the other important issues, i'm very grateful for it. my principle is that every person in america, certainly eve
