The Center believes health care reform is a non-partisan issue. There are a number of problems with the existing system which have been clearly pointed out on this blog and other media. However, this can be addressed and improved if we focus on a few core principles as outlined in our white paper on reform.
John Torinus outlines what needs to be included in legislation for health care reform to actually create the outcomes we are looking for.Transparency of price and quality, continuous improvement using lean, competition at the level of the providers delivering care, and insurance benefits that incent employees to get healthy and shop for cost effective services are all part of the equation.
As I said on Fox News, I stand ready(as many others do) to work with both democrats and republicans on the important components of a bill that is focused on health care reform that will work. I'm waiting for a call.
