Health Access Weblog

It's not just a buzzword...

Wednesday, July 25, 2007
 
There's a good article today by Timm Herdt of the Ventura County Star on the central debate on "affordability" in health care reform, and I would say that if he didn't quote our Health Access report on high deductible plans.

"Affordability" is not just lowering the cost of overall health care. It's a fundamental change, so that a consumer's health care costs are based on one's ability to pay, rather than the current completely wrong-headed situation, where our costs are based the type of job we have, and how sick we are.
