| Health Reform 2009 |
|
"After nearly 75 years of waiting, the nation might finally be poised to exert some rationality over the health system. The prospects for health reform have never been better. It is one of the issues on the Obama "change" wish list, and is very likely an issue that will stay a major priority because of its cost impact on economic recovery. Congressional leaders have been working on the framework and particulars of reform legislation. Interest groups are organizing and have been invited into the process in a collaborative way that is stark in its difference from the 1992 health reform efforts. The rancor among these groups during the Clinton health reform attempt has given way to a mostly civil dialogue." |
