Opinion: Stimulus Funding Will Not Fix Health Insurance
In an opinion piece, Sally Pipes, president and CEO of the Pacific Research Institute in San Francisco, argues that providing states with Medicaid funding through the economic stimulus package without including "checks and balances to ensure funds are spent as specified only kicks health care reform further down the road." She adds, "Until our leaders gain hold on what is and isn't true in the health care debate, we'll continue to suffer through ineffective -- and often harmful -- reform efforts."
