German health pespective - improve quality, combat waste, curb inflation...

Now the fog has cleared. Under the slightly pungent spring sun (it lacks the attenuating leaves) become the background of health policy reform debate more sharply into focus during the summit as Blair House.

There are similarities, probably among all OECD countries, in health policy.  Again, everyone is talking about improving the quality, to combat inefficiency and waste, curb the price explosion and somehow while preserving a social balance.

One comes back to the fact that a Trojan horse is the most interesting stratagem. The players in the field know and master their routines, the routine reflexes. If a vessel is placed before them, the nose, which is found in the general framework yet, although they may cut as small cats, however, test a little ruckus rhetoric, but in the end outweigh the curiosity to see what is hidden in this horse possibilities.

The mixture of ignorance and curiosity to open the "Window Of Opportunity For Change We Can Believe In." Wishful thinking? Wishful thinking? Maybe. A health-related intelligence helps but on the jumps.

Germans see a trojan horse?

Waste, fraud, and abuse won't go away?  Healthcare inflation won't go away?

Haderthauer criticized poor grades could be easily compensated for by good, caring MOT could not measure the quality and too bureaucratic. "I call on Health Minister Philipp Rösler urgently to end this tragedy," she said.  "With this test system, the inpatient care sector in Germany is currently suffers a loss of trust from which they will recover only with difficulty."

How much trust do Americans have in Washington?

Cash warned: "The care would be to abolish grades, again put a cover over the care of the bad nursing notes, and simultaneously make it harder for people to find a good nursing home," as association spokesman Florian Lanz said.  "So much transparency as now, was with the care before."

Sounds like transparency didn't make a big quality difference.
