Harvard Medical School Dean Says Congressional Health Reform Gets An 'F' Grade

Jeffrey Flier, Dean of the Harvard Medical School, gives the Congressional health reform proposals a failing grade in an opinion piece in The Wall Street Journal.
h
Flier writes:
In discussions with dozens of health-care leaders and economists, I find near unanimity of opinion that, whatever its shape, the final legislation that will emerge from Congress will markedly accelerate national health-care spending rather than restrain it. Likewise, nearly all agree that the legislation would do little or nothing to improve quality or change health-care's dysfunctional delivery system.
