As Obama Readies Reform Proposal, Reid Backs Use of Reconciliation
The Senate’s top Democrat said he would use a legislative process known as reconciliation to unstick the now-stalled effort to reshape the $2.5 trillion per year U.S. healthcare sector. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV), appearing on the Nevada news show Face to Face with Jon Ralston late Friday, said he would likely use the legislative maneuver to pass a smaller-scale bill that harbors a number of provisions already negotiated by House and Senate leaders.
Reid said the reconciliation bill could be passed within the next 60 days. Presumably, the move would have to hold until the House passes the Senate’s version of the bill first—something it has previously been reluctant to do.
Though complicated, the reconciliation process effectively allows legislation to pass the Senate on a simple majority vote rather than the typical 60 votes needed to overcome a filibuster.
But, it’s the lack of a clear understanding on what the White House wants, coupled with the fact that many lawmakers have been away from Washington for more than a week and have had little contact with the key framers of such a proposal, that has the healthcare industry puzzled over what to expect next.

New Medical Curriculum Focuses on Cost-Effective Care
A clinical curriculum aimed at boosting high-value, cost-conscious care among internal medicine residents has recently been created.

The curriculum, a joint effort of the American College of Physicians (ACP) and the Alliance for Academic Internal Medicine (AAIM), is geared toward training internal medicine residents to avoid the overuse or misuse of tests and treatments that might do no good or might even harm patients.
