Health Care Reform

 

President Obama and Congress are going to pass health care reform legislation before the end of the year. In the discussion a Senator said, "Ideal health care reform would improve access, decrease costs and improve quality, but you can only have two of the three choices.

 

If we improved efficiency at the provider level, we might be able to achieve all three.

 

I also continue to hear that health care costs are too high. However, death rates from cancer and heart disease are decreasing, and the average lenght of life is increasing. Health care or a new iPod?

 

Are you doing all that you can to protect your health?
