Peter V. Lee, PBGH Executive Director for National Health Policy testified at the US House Committee on Ways and Means hearings on Health Reform in the 21st Century. He praised the Committee for seeking to develop comprehensive proposals that focus on importance of covering all Americans, calling for actions that:
• Reduce costs to create a sustainable health care system -- not merely shift costs to the private sector;
• Create a more competitive and affordable insurance marketplace for individuals and small businesses;
• Develop better performance measurement that sends consistent signals to providers to guide improvement and consumers to guide decisionmaking;
• Align the payment models across public and private purchasers to ensure that providers are rewarded consistently for safe, high quality, and efficient care;
• Support investments in wellness and prevention; and
• Expand our national commitment to comparative effectiveness research so that decisions about care are driven by the evidence and what is in the patient’s interest.
