Health Care Reform Makes Sense
Fixing the health care system makes good economic sense, too, according to two recent U.S. PIRG reports.
A new report from U.S. Public Interest Research Group shows that more effective and less expensive care would be one of many benefits of an improved health care system.
The report, which looks at what is called "comparative effectiveness research,"
finds that for the majority of medical conditions, no studies exist to
help doctors – and their patients – determine the most effective course
of treatment among all the available option.
Another recent report, entitled Putting America Back to Work,
finds that proposals to tame health care costs could allow the creation
of 2.5 million jobs over a five year period without inflationary
effects, and yield stronger economic growth over the long term.
