Letter From the Editor
Who Needs Reform?
Today's DOTmed News features a report on a bill that addresses a long-standing concern in health care that insurance companies are exempt from antitrust laws. Quite apart from the matter at hand, which is significant, the bill shows that some aspects of reform might be cherry picked for action, independent of the broader health care reform effort. Let's keep an eye on this sort of activity.
Also today, you'll read about other regulatory measures such as advancement of the FDA's plan, first reported in DOTmed News in 2006, to change the statistical underpinnings of medical device clinical trials.
As always, check us out for multi-media coverage of health technology people, trends, research, and more.
See you tomorrow.
