Worcester T & G Reader Goes Wacko

2009-09-02 | Filed Under SteveG's Posts |

Why is this not surprising?

Follow this link to a letter to the editor that the Worcester T & G chose to publish.  They even chose a headline “Palin’s ‘death panel’ wasn’t far off”.

Among the comments you will find one that I wrote.

As with all such reports, this one seems to be made up too.

I can find no mention of ‘Center for Health Outcomes, Research and Evaluation’ in the house bill. As for ‘cost-utility analysis’, the word ‘utility’ does not appear anywhere in the bill.

What I did find on page 502:

CENTER FOR COMPARATIVE EFFECTIVENESS RESEARCH ESTABLISHED

Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality a Center for Comparative Effectiveness Research to conduct, support, and synthesize research with respect to the outcomes, effectiveness, and appropriateness of health care services and procedures in order to identify the manner in which diseases, disorders, and other health conditions can most effectively and appropriately be prevented, diagnosed, treated, and managed clinically.
