The President makes clear that as Congress works through health care reform legislation, it must include fundamental changes that lower costs, ensure Americans have choices, and establish access to quality, affordable health care for all Americans. But what we cant welcome, the President says, is reform that just invests more money in the status quo reform that throws good money after bad habits. (public domain)

Video and text from the White House
Tuesday the President hosted a meeting that marked one of the most promising signs for health reform to date, and not only because the topic was saving more than $2 trillion on health care costs. Representatives from hospitals, the insurance industry, medical device and pharmaceutical companies, labor and physicians came to the White House to discuss major steps being taken to lower health care costs across the board.

The President explained the significance of having so many diverse stakeholders at the table:
And that’s what makes today’s meeting so remarkable — because it’s a meeting that might not have been held just a few years ago. The groups who are here today represent different constituencies with different sets of interests. They’ve not always seen eye to eye with each other or with our government on what needs to be done to reform health care in this country. In fact, some of these groups were among the strongest critics of past plans for comprehensive reform.
But what’s brought us all together today is a recognition that we can’t continue down the same dangerous road we’ve been traveling for so many years; that costs are out of control; and that reform is not a luxury that can be postponed, but a necessity that cannot wait. It’s a recognition that the fictional television couple, Harry and Louise, who became the iconic faces of those who opposed health care reform in the ’90s, desperately need health care reform in 2009. And so does America.

In short, the coalition has agreed to reduce the annual health care spending growth rate by 1.5 percentage points for the next 10 years, a change that could result in savings of roughly $2,500 for American families. Some of the changes the coalition is working on, explained fully in the fact sheet, include:

· Improving Care after Hospitalizations and Reduce Hospital Readmission Rates.
· Reducing Medicare Overpayments to Private Insurers through Competitive Payments.
· …

BATTLE CREEK – State Senate Democratic Leader Mark Schauer (D-Battle Creek) joined with a statewide coalition today to announce an effort to make health care in Michigan a top priority. The drive would amend Michigan’s Constitution to require the Legislature to develop a plan for increasing affordability and access for Michigan citizens and businesses.

“A comprehensive, long-term health care strategy is critical to Michigan’s economic recovery,” said Schauer. “Unaffordable health care costs Michigan jobs, makes our companies less competitive, and puts an incredible burden on families who are already struggling to make ends meet. This type of bold reform should be a priority and is frankly long overdue.”

The group – Michigan Health Care Security Campaign Coalition – held announcement events in locations across the state. Members include dozens of organizations that represent health care professionals, seniors, the faith community and many others.

“The lack of access for many children and citizens is not only morally wrong; it compounds the economic problems that are so persistent in this state. No one should have to worry about losing their home, or being in debt for life, because they or a loved one become ill and can’t secure coverage,” said Schauer. “And when people go uninsured they are more likely to wind up in emergency rooms for basic care, which drives up the cost for them, as well as everyone else who depends on this system. It’s time to change Michigan’s health care status quo.”
