NEJM Perspectives Examine Shattuck Lecture, McCain, Obama Health Care Reform Plans


"Health of the Nation -- Coverage for All Americans," New England Journal of Medicine: The perspective reviews the 2008 Shattuck Lecture, sponsored by NEJM and the Massachusetts Medical Society, in which 13 health care industry representatives discussed current challenges facing the U.S. health precaution system and possible solutions. The panel discussed physicians' objections to a reimbursement program that pays more than for technology-enhanced procedures rather of clock time spent with patients, reviewed the demand for developing health maintenance information technology and expressed concern about the high costs associated with new drugs and end-of-life guardianship (NEJM [1], 8/21). A related NEJM editorial discusses the wellness care proposals of presumptive presidential nominees Sens. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) and John McCain (R-Ariz.) and questions whether any "meaningful health care reform" will withdraw shape in the following administration. The editorial also calls for a "concentrated effort by all the major stakeholders in our health attention system, as represented by the panelists," to impart about reform (NEJM [2], 8/21).


"The Partisan Divide -- The McCain and Obama Plans for U.S. Health Care Reform," NEJM: In an NEJM perspective, Jonathan Oberlander, an associate prof of social medicine and health policy and establishment at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, examines the health plans of presidential candidates McCain and Obama. According to Oberlander, the candidates' "ambitious see the light agendas ... would take the U.S. wellness care system in very different directions." He adds that the plans "are best viewed as sketches rather than finished portraits, with many important inside information yet to be revealed." He concludes, "The candidates' opposing visions of wellness care reform reflect fundamentally different assumptions about the virtues and vices of markets and government. With the debate over how to reform U.S. health care far from settled, whoever wins the presidency can anticipate fierce opponent to whatever attempt at comprehensive regenerate" (Oberlander, NEJM, 8/22).
