In Retooled Health-Care System, Who Will Say No?
The Washington Post; subscription may be required July 8, 2009
Excerpt: Although Obama and his advisers have held up providers' spending patterns as the crux of the crisis, proposals in Washington go only so far in addressing the thorniest questions about who gets what care. Instead, cost-saving measures are focused on introducing a public insurance option to compete with private insurers, or on general cuts in Medicare and Medicaid payments to hospitals. The bills being written would put new emphasis on evaluating treatments according to their 'comparative effectiveness,' or weighing the risks and benefits of different types of treatment for the same illness, but the bills stop short of incorporating cost-benefit analyses into the findings or of requiring that providers abide by conclusions.
