More Time All for the Better

A delay can only be for the better. This is too important and costly a decision to arrive at in haste. All the current proposals speak to some of President Obama's "eight principles" but no proposal speaks to all eight. The focus up to now has really been on cutting cost, not taking waste and re-work out of the current delivery system and adding value in ways that are transformational.

The American public is balking at the confusing focus on cost issues and is desperately seeking ideas that would add value and generate positive, systematic health outcomes that are scalable. Only when we achieve that will we have health care reform rather than health cost reform.
