Over the past few months, the US Senate Finance Committee, CMS, and Tom Daschle have all made statements or released papers describing a future vision for healthcare reform.
President Obama's position was recently posted at http://www.whitehouse.gov/ (after his administration took over the site on Tuesday). The agenda focuses on increasing the number of people with health insurance, but is lacking in commitment to control cost or increase the quality/reliability of healthcare.
In fact, the only statement related to healthcare quality is that they will: Require hospitals to collect and report health care cost and quality data.
It will be interesting to see how this agenda mixes with CMS's strong intentions to proceed with Value Based Purchasing.
