"The 40th anniversary of Medicare and Medicaid should celebrate
how important these programs have been to millions of men, women
and children over the decades. But it also should signal the start
of a new national conversation on just what one wants the healthcare
future of America to be. Partisan politics, marginalization and
timidity will not get it done. Everybody needs an open, bold, and
visionary conversation that includes not just talking, but also
a lot of listening. Everybody must listen to patients, to communities,
to providers, to payers and to everyone with a stake in the future
of the nation's health." Richard Davidson is president
of the American Hospital Association.
