"Comparative Effectiveness Center" in Reconciliation bill - oh you mean rationing
Tip: HotAir
Page 1557 has the Comparative Effectiveness Center:
http://budget.house.gov/doc-library/...iation2010.PDF
(1) IN GENERAL.—The Secretary shall establish within the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality a Center for Comparative Effectiveness Research (in this section referred to as the ‘Center’ to conduct, support, and synthesize research (including research conducted or supported under section 1013 of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003) 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.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(i) DIVERSE REPRESENTATION OF PERSPECTIVES.—The members of the Commission shall represent a broad range of perspectives and shall collectively have experience in the following areas:
(I) Epidemiology.
(II) Health services research.
(III) Bioethics.
(IV) Decision sciences.
(V) Health disparities.
(VI) Economics.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What is “comparative effectiveness”? It’s a system of rationing scarce resources, and it has everything to do with economics.
Oh of course, Professor Altman in front of the Senate Finance Committee hearings on health-care reform summed it up well:

Comrades,
I believe that our Most Great Leader, Papa Obama said it best when it comes to health care rationing and saving money- "take a pill"
