A Startling Congressional Budget Office Report!
Staff Writers
Almost one-third of the procedures that doctors perform fail to improve a patient’s health!
Of course, this may come as quite a surprise to most citizens, but not so to readers of the Executive-Post, or the books, white-papers and dictionaries of its sponsor, the Institute of Medical Business Advisors, Inc [www.MedicalBusinessAdvisors.com]
Congressional Budget Office Report
Congressional Budget Office [CBO] Director Peter Orszag opined thusly to federal lawmakers in a recent special report. Mr. Orszag noted that the collective cost for these services top more than $700 billion each year, or roughly five percent of the nation’s total economy.
Misaligned payment, disparate health care costs and an overabundance of untested procedures have placed health care on a fiscally unsound path, which was likened to “running up credit card debt,” according to Modern Healthcare on June 18, 2008.
Assessment
Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus (D-Mont.) called on the CBO and Government Accountability Office [GAO] to study the potential development of an independent health reform board, possibly like the Federal Reserve Board [FRB] that would set health policy absent of political pressure.
Conclusion
Your thoughts and comments are appreciated. Do you believe the Orszag CBO report is more factually, or heuristically true; why or why not? Is it a startling report at all; or just medical de-rigueur?
