First line from the text:

"The practice of medicine today is obsolete, extremely wasteful, driven by patient crisis and perverse incentives"

Last line from the text:

"This is the most exciting time in the history of medicine. If we can make some  radical changes to accommodate the enormous opportunities, there will be better health at lower costs for many generations to come."
