he
key to our long-term fiscal future is fiscally-responsible health
insurance reform. All our steps to rein in the deficit will be for
naught if we do not reduce the rate of health care cost growth over
time. The legislation passed by both the House and Senate will reduce
the deficit over the next decade and put in place the key pieces that
will help to bring down health care costs over time. Congress must now
deliver on this promise of fiscally responsible health reform – the
stakes are high, both for the millions of Americans who lack a stable
source of health insurance coverage and for the fiscal well-being of the
Nation itself." Peter R. Orszag, Director, White House Office of
Management and Budget |
