Letter From the Editor
Here to HELP
The Senate HELP Committee just passed a health care reform bill, with a House version also introduced. But the sausage is far from ready. Other committees will weigh in with their own bills covering the pesky business of paying for it all.
DOTmed News will keep you posted on the key proposals, particularly where medical technologies are affected. Will reform squelch innovation? Will oversight lead to lower reimbursements? Will a government role mean cookie-cutter treatments or worse yet rationing? Only the Shadow knows.
See you tomorrow.
