How Good Health Legislation Dies: the Ongoing Fight to Make Health Care Better and Freer for All Americans Health Policy Prescriptions By: Diana M. Ernst 7.1.2006
Health care in this country is a mess, but when it came to making reforms during Health Week, lawmakers in the Senate and the House achieved only gridlock. Some of the best bills wound up dead, or severely wounded. Necessary measures include medical malpractice reform, access to health insurance across state lines, fewer restrictions on health savings accounts, and increased technology in health care.
There is still much progress to be made, but good solutions do exist. America needs more freedom and accountability in health care, the sooner the better.
