I posted this on Senator Roberts' web site:

August 3, 2009

Senator Roberts:

I classified this as an Intelligence issue because I felt it was the best fit.

I heard you on MSNBC complaining that the text of the proposed Health Care Reform bill had not been released.

Please refer to the U.S. Senate web site (which I assume you are aware of!) at: http://www.senate.gov/pagelayo...

There, you will find a link to H.R. 3200 under "H" for Health care reform.

That link will forward you to the H.R. 3200 page on the Library of Congress web site, and on that page, you can click the "Text of Legislation" link to find the text you complained hadn't been released.

It was posted on July 14th, by the way. I must say I find it appalling that you don't know this, or know how to find it, since that is your job. Please do what you get paid to do.

Thank you.

A pay for outcome / value payment system, key to the deficit-neutral, might be capable of bringing all groups together.

Supporters of the agreement say it could save the Medicare System more than $100 billion a year and 'improve' care, that means more than $1trillian over a decade, and virtually needs no other resources including tax on the wealthiest. (Please visit http://www.kare11.com/news/new... for detailed infos).

As much as 30 percent of all health-care spending in the U.S. -some $700 billion a year- may be wasted on tests and treatments that do not improve the health of the recipients,� Thus the remaining $239 billions over a decade do not matter.
Dr. Armadio at Mayo clinic says, "If we got rid of that stuff, we save a third of all that we spend and that is 2.5 trillion dollars on health care. A third of that and that is 700 billion dollars a year. That covers a lot of uninsured people."


1. There is no need for infighting and class conflict.

2. It can satisfy revenue-neutral raised by the Republicans.

3. It is able to resolve the regional disparity.

4. It may bring the private insurers to competition, innovation.

5. The focus on 'outcome' over volume can make the practitioners more accurate and creative based on IT SYSTEM and evidence, while eliminating the additional, unnecessary care that is increasing patients' pains, frustrations, and possible side-effects.

6. The desperate people will get back American dream.

THANK YOU !
