Buffett, Bezos and Dimon's health-care pick is known as a thought leader, not a business leader
Gawande soon will lead the most anticipated health-care company, a joint venture between three corporate titans: J.P. Morgan, Amazon and Berkshire Hathaway.

I have been following his career path. closley over the years and have read series of his books on health care issues,very impressed with succint writing style and thinking process.
As a surgeon with his experience in clinical side at the prestigous institution as well as public health side-world wide(WHO), his move might be good for him personally as well as for medical field in general.
I hope Korean Medical community could produce younger generation physicians with similar caliber in near future.
It appears people like Howard Koh, Yong Kim , very proud and valuable product of Korean Immigrant community,were somewhat more active toward the academic -political arena.
What I see in Korea as a weakness in medical policy making is that policy, regulations, etc are made by
people with no clinical background in the past(예방의학 교실 출신, 보건대학원 출신---many of them are pure academician from graduate school).

Thank you, Dr. Choh, for your comment.
You certainly know him better than I do.
I didn't know him until these business men chose him.
I was very curious about him, being a son of immigrant doctors.
The more I read about him, the more I was impressed.
Obviously the three business titans were impressed by his credentials too.
Is USA a great country? Or what?
Children of Indian immigrants have joined the mainstream America noticeably
in all walks of life, politics, business, science, religion or spirituality, etc.
Children of Korean immigrants, I believe, are not too behind.
We parents can see this all around us and are glad all of us decided to settle here
to raise our children in this great country where anyone like Obama, Gawande and others
can fulfill his dreams.

Three most successful business men, titans, Buffet, Bezos and Dimon, chose this doctor, first generation son
of immigrant Indian doctors(both parents are doctors) to run the company that will address the broken health care
of USA.
