About the survey

The Commonwealth Fund/Modern Healthcare Opinion Leaders Survey, conducted by Harris Interactive, is an online poll designed to highlight perspectives on the most timely health policy issues from a panel of the nation's leading health plan executives, policymakers and healthcare purchasers. It is conducted four times annually. This is the 26th installment in the series.

Perspective on the latest topic—vulnerable populations—is provided by Dr. Patricia Gabow, executive officer of Denver Health, and Dr. David Sundwall, professor of public health at the department of family and preventive medicine, University of Utah School of Medicine.
