Reform Update


The lesson of health care reform of this week is that if The President, Al Franken, Peter Orzag, The House, AHA and a cast of thousands push too hard and too fast, the wheels start to fall off the reform bus.

Looks like the Senate is all but guaranteeing no action before the August recess...and maybe things will get just too busy to finish the job this year.

Look for much more compromise and juggling in the fall as the Dems try to salvage some victory.

I don't yet use the term, "Health Reform". I just don't see this as the emphasis. It is payment reform, or just plain payment reduction. Maybe a little bit of eligibility legislation around the edges, but this is about money.
