Congress must curb medical costs with comprehensive reform
The Kansas City Star argues that the House health care bill expands insurance access to about 96 percent of under 65s and bans discrimination for the seriously ill but fails to curb costs. It favors moving away from fee for service toward value based care, supports a public option with rate negotiating power, and urges a Medicare commission to curb waste. It highlights proposals like hospital error penalties, cost transparency, outcome rewards, disincentives for over treatment, and bundled payments.
