Posted by Diane KampVery good discussion of the lack of accurate and in-depth coverage of the health law debate, including one reason why the debate is limited. Still, the mention of prevention references a researcher who confuses the discussion by talking about hypertension as a "condition" rather than a disease, muddying the water, and confuses the definitions of primary and secondary prevention.
While this story is head and shoulders above any other I've seen, it still omits a serious discussion of how health care reform, rather than simply the reform of the payment system, could save money by using primary care as the basis for medical care.
