Including Research in Reform
Right now of every dollar spent on health care only 5.5 cents is spent on finding new solutions. We look forward to research being part of this discussion and the national debate on health reform.
On June 17, 2009 from 12-4pm EST, individuals in the health community came together for an urgent meeting on Healthcare Reform. This meeting was convened in an open partnership between health organizations, in response to the growing dialogue on health reform.
The impetus to pass comprehensive health reform legislation continues to grow as an energetic Congress and new leadership in our federal health agencies provide unprecedented support for expanding access to quality healthcare. The road ahead is both exciting and full of the unknown. Congress is promising passage of healthcare reform this summer.
Now is the time for us to come together in urgency and openness to articulate our shared principles that focus reform on what truly matters: improved health for individuals, families and communities.

We invite you to join the conversations posted here by sharing your ideas, energy, and suggestions for how we move forward in this process. Push each other to think about big picture issues in health reform and how they impact us all.
