lauraanne_gilmanSome things from the White House blog you might want to check out:
The unveiling of http://healthreform.gov/ effective today, and worth browsing, even if you already have a stable employer-subsidized medical plan.
"We are here today to discuss one of the greatest threats not just to the well-being of our families and the prosperity of our businesses, but to the very foundation of our economy – and that is the exploding cost of health care in America today." (full remarks available at http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2009/3/5/11956/64929/855/704945)
Also:
On Not lining the pockets of contractors . Priorities excerpt: The President signed a Presidential Memorandum that will reform government contracting by strengthening oversight and management of taxpayer dollars, ending unnecessary no-bid and cost-plus contracts and maximizing the use of competitive procurement processes, and clarifying rules prescribing when outsourcing is and is not appropriate. The OMB will be tasked with giving guidance to every agency on making sure contracts serve the taxpayers, not the contractors.
