That's why three major corporations that collectively cover 240,000 lives asked Dr. Arnold Milstein, national healthcare "thought leader" at the consultancy Mercer Health & Benefits, to assess the best places to outsource elective surgeries.

The scenario’s setup is delightfully bizzaire and enigmatic, but the implementation—a bunch of people stand around trying to think of things to write, occasionally interrupted...
