Health care reform is high on the national agenda. A survey by The Commonwealth Fund shows that 82 percent of Americans are dissatisfied with the current system, and think it should be fundamentally altered or completely rebuilt. However, support breaks down around how to pay for it. Clarity on the values underlying health care reform is needed to find the common ground required for consensus. As Daniel Callahan, cofounder of The Hastings Center and editor of the Health Care Cost Monitor, said in testimony to the President’s Council on Bioethics, “I believe that by far the most important problem in bioethics is that of formulating criteria for a humane health care system, one that rests on a solid foundation of appropriate goals for medicine.” A collection of articles on health care reform from the Hastings Center Report is available in Resources, below.
