Presidential news conference on July 22, 2009:“health insurance reform”1	Health reform is necessary to reduce escalating costs of the system that threaten economic recovery. The result of inaction is economic collapse: employers will drop employee benefits coverage or shift financial burdens to employees who cannot afford premiums. The “status quo” is not an option.2	Reform of the system must be deficit neutral: added costs for covering “47 million lacking insurance” (there are actually 45.7 million) and changes to the delivery system must be offset by savings or new revenues. The White House believes a combination of two-thirds from savings and one-third from taxes on high income households is the appropriate funding mechanism.3	The President supports a public plan option available to uninsured and under-insured individuals and small businesses. Repeating an oft-used phrase, the President supports the public plan option to “keep the plans honest” and provide competition to commercial plans. NOTE: A positive earnings report from “a major plan” released today was referenced as evidence plans benefit at the expense of patients by denying coverage or refusing to pay for needed care.4	Agreement among legislators is a “work in progress”: there is agreement that individual mandates, a comparative effectiveness program, health insurance exchanges, fraud reduction, health information technology utilization and integrated delivery systems are key elements. Pressed about partisan issues and defections among moderate Democrats due to the costs of the plan, the President defaulted to the legislative process: messy, necessary, and soon to result in a reform bill. The forthcoming work in the Senate Finance Committee is a key part of the process.5	Key industry stakeholders support the need for reform: in his remarks and responses to reporters’ questions, three references to AARP and two each to AMA, ANA and PhRMA were used to suggest the White House has industry support.6	To deflect criticism of government intrusion in coverage decisions and payment calculations for providers, the White House supports the development of an independent board to make recommendations. Congress would have 30 days to prevent implementation based on a vote. It would make determinations about advisable diagnostic and therapeutics based on evidence and costs. It would also set payment rates for providers based on its assessment of comparative effectiveness and value. NOTE: Sen. Jay Rockefeller proposed MedPAC as the independent entity; OMB Director had previously proposed a new entity, IMAC (Independent Medicare Advisory Commission).7	The President anticipates signing a bill in 2009 but did not state his determination of a bill by the August recess.10

Editor's Notes

  • #60 So I ask to consider – what would you do with an extra $30 billion dollars a year?There is a lot you could do – first and foremost help pay for the other things we need to do to address quality – and ensure greater focus on patient care.The first phase of the Index looked at industry data. Now we are gathering numbers in real time from payers, providers and clearinghouses to tell an even more accurate story – and document progress – and savings.I urge you to join our effort – get involved in the Index – and raising awareness of the opportunity to get immediate savings.And help us work together to overcome the few remaining barriers. Today we’re releasing a whitepaper – with the Center for Health Transformation – that looks at these opportunities – and provides a clear roadmap for collaboration.
