Paul Krugman (“Harry, Louise and Barack,” column, May 11) is absolutely right: the Obama administration should always remember the self-serving profit motives of the health care industry.
But this is not 1993, and most Americans are now clamoring for health reform. The administration is not without leverage at the bargaining table; in fact, it comes with a strong hand. If industry is endorsing quality, efficiency and best of all, prevention, let’s make it walk the talk.
The administration can (and should) demand that a reformed approach to health include substantial investments in prevention. This may be America’s chance to create a health system that truly protects and promotes our health; old villains cannot stand in the way.
