CED Challenges Business and Congress to Support a Fundamental Restructuring of the U.S. Health Care System
Monday, 19 October 2009
Washington, D.C. October 19, 2009 - CED today sent an open letter to Members of Congress and the Business Roundtable urging comprehensive reform of the U.S. health care system - reaching beyond what the Congress and major business lobbies have supported thus far.

 

"Good ideas like Senator Wyden's Free Choice Amendment, which would inject choice and competition in the health-care reform package, have not been seriously considered -- leaving only an expansion of the status quo," said William Lewis, CED Trustee & Founding Chairman Emeritus of the McKinsey Global Institute.

 

 
CED, the Committee for Economic Development is an independent, nonpartisan organization for business and education leaders dedicated to policy research on the major economic and social issues of our time and the implementation of its recommendations by the public and private sectors.
