Mayor Bloomberg said yesterday that President Obama’s health-reform plan does nothing to contain runaway medical costs or deliver better care.
“It does not address the total cost of health care in our country, it does not address the fact that we spend double what they do in Western Europe and have a lower life expectancy, but it does address coverage,” Bloomberg told reporters.
“It’s a system we can’t afford in total in this country, and a system that’s not delivering the kind of health care that we want.”
