President Obama has an opportunity to succeed when it comes to his goal of reforming some of the ills of the healthcare industry. But from the vantage point of having run a large healthcare system in this country, I can see that certain strategic changes are needed in order to make Obama’s goal a reality.
As Obama prepares to bring members of Congress together next week - yet again - to try to salvage healthcare reform efforts, I would offer the following advice.
Here are my top four suggestions for President Obama:
As a recent survey indicates, most Americans want Congress to start from scratch on healthcare reform.
Include what people and patients care most about in order to gain their trust. Lowering costs and implementing restrictions on health insurance companies would be a good starting point.
Politicians should remember that they too can join the ranks of the unemployed!
