President's Outline for Health Care Reform Bill Posted
Posted on February 22, 2010 by Enoonan
The Obama Administration has posted an outline of what it proposes Congress should include in a health care reform bill. Read it here: http://www.whitehouse.gov/health-care-meeting/proposal/whatsnew/overview.
The National Health Council is reviewing the document to see if it moves our country closer to the Five Principles for Putting Patients First®. Will this proposal produce a health care delivery system that will help curb costs, cover more people, abolish exclusions for pre-existing conditions, eliminate lifetime caps, and ensure access to long-term and end-of-life care? What does this mean for you?
We encourage you to read the proposal and tell us what you think about it - Comment Here!

- I think that the current discussions about healthcare are shortsighted. They do not look to the future.
Healthcare initiatives to date have focussed on providing healthcare to the needy. This is good. But what about addressing the prevention of ill health. Poor personal health practices is responsible for creating the need to address healthcare at this time.
It is said that it is better to teach a starving man how to fish than it is to give him fish to eat.
Much has been written about the obesity epidemic. Obesity, of course, leads to ill health and exacerbates the need to address healthcare.
Why is noone talking about educating children in the subjects of fitness and nutrition in schools? Doing so would contribute to improved health in future generations and therefore diminishing pressure on the
healthcare system in the future.In the meantime, a way needs to be found to educate the current generation in these matters. Information similar to that which is contained in the following articles needs to be taught to the general population.
