November 12, 2009, 9:34pmPresident Obama's Plan Will Control Every Aspect of the Medical Transaction
Health care plan will tell patients when, what and how much coverage they must buy
September 11, 2009Obama lambasted the critics who claim his reform plan amounts to a government takeover of the health care system. But the plan he laid out Wednesday night will control every aspect of the medical transaction. It will tell patients when, what and how much coverage they must buy; it will tell sellers when, what and how much coverage they must sell. This is not a government takeover of health care?
That's a Lie, Mr. President
September 11, 2009, 10:28amWhat About the Patient In Health Care Debate?
Health care reform isn't serious until the patient is at the center of the picture
September 11, 2009Doctors and other health professionals, who assiduously work to limit the number of health care providers in a given field, moan all the time about how Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurers are driving down reimbursements for basic procedures. Yet somehow the overall cost of health care goes up, up, up. It's because the system, including the vague reforms being championed by Barack Obama in a speech designed to lay out his plan in detail, really don't do anything to empower the person at the center of the drama—the patient, the customer—with the sort of choices that might actually trigger changes that will either curtail costs or, same thing, improve the range and quality of services so that we are happy with the money we're shoveling out. Until that discussion gets underway, any so-called reform will fail to deliver on anything other than empty promises.
