Opinion: Push for Health Care Reform Overlooks Clinic Model
In his campaign for health care reform, President Obama has missed the opportunity to expand the network of clinics and community health centers as a way to provide medical services to more people, according to Thomas Lorentzen, a regional director of HHS under President George W. Bush and a speechwriter to the HHS secretary under President Reagan. Lorentzen asserts that "a political consensus" on the issue already exists among liberals and conservatives.
