What We Can Learn from the Nineties About Health Care Reform
The Century Foundation [Opinion] Mar. 11, 2009
Excerpt: Over at Centered Politics.com Jim Jaffe once again has written a provocative piece about health care reform. I don't agree with him on every point. But I am persuaded by his opening premise: the main lesson we need to learn from the 90s involves managed care, not the Clinton effort, which 'was a one-off effort with unique problems.'... Our experiment with 'managed care' is still pertinent because, as Jaffe points out in the excerpt from his post below, the health care reform that the administration proposes aims to lift the quality of care, and contain costs, by weeding out ineffective treatments. This is why the administration has set aside money to fund both comparative effectiveness research and electronic medical records that can provide a database of outcomes.
