Health Care Reform - President Obama Speech

As far as Health Care reform is concerned, we at TienaHealth are still watching the debate unfold, and then we will help you - our patients - understand how best to maximize your health resources.

However, after watching President Obama's speech on 9-9-09, we were left with a question. With all the services and changes that were suggested, toward the end of the speech the initial estimated price tag of just short of a Trillion dollars finally surfaced.

There was no plan listed how to pay for it, except for savings that the plan itself would create.

We are left wondering if there are any other examples one could point to out there where government savings in one program (from greater efficiency and cost reduction) helped fund another?

Stay Healthy...that the best reform!
